November Engineering Update

11:40am November 9, 2018

Construction Update — November

As of the beginning of November, DTC’s construction crew has laid fiber lines in front of approximately 5,000 addresses, and with continued diligence, they hope to increase that number to 6,500 by the end of the year.

Most recently, 623 homes and businesses in north and east Milton gained access to the fastest internet available.

The following locations are currently being worked on:

• Wilson County’s Norene exchange

• DeKalb County’s Smithville exchange, north of Smithville city limits along Cookeville Highway

• Auburntown exchange, along Kennedy Creek Road

• South Carthage along Plunket’s Creek and Rawls Creek roads

Residents and businesses in these areas can expect the opportunity to be connected in the next couple of months.

Next up for construction crews in 2019 are Rutherford County’s Milton exchange in the Twelve Corners area and the Alup Mill area of the Wilson County Norene exchange.

Anyone interested in signing up for DTC fiber is strongly encouraged to reach out via the online form at DTCFiber.net. Community interest helps determine which areas will be next to receive fiber connections. Additionally, submissions from households and businesses outside of the DTC service area are helpful in the acquisition of grants for expansion.

Construction Update — May

3:44pm May 29, 2018

As May draws to a close, construction crews continue the buildout of fiber internet infrastructure in the DTC service area.

Dozens of new homes and businesses are being connected weekly. At this time, crews are at work in the Milton Exchange in Rutherford County, in the Smithville Exchange — northeast of the city limits along Cookeville Highway (HWY-56) — and in the Auburntown Exchange along Kennedy Creek Road.

Construction is expected to be completed within these specific areas by the end of this year, with additional areas following suit in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Anyone interested in signing up for DTC fiber is strongly encouraged to reach out via the online form at DTCFiber.net. Community interest helps determine which areas will be next to receive fiber connections. Additionally, submissions from households and businesses outside of the DTC service area are helpful in the acquisition of grants for expansion.

Welcome!

1:54pm April 25, 2018

Welcome to DTCfiber.net, DTC Communications’ website to help us expand out fiber network. We created this site to gather interest from our neighbors for a fiber network. Fiber optics means a connection that is powerful enough to handle all your internet, TV and calling needs.

We’ve already made some preliminary construction plans but we are looking for the community to help shape those plans. We have several areas with fiber already and if you fall into one of the zones with fiber, you’ll see that noted when you enter your address. If you aren’t in one of those live areas, then you have an important job. Help us get the word out. The more interest in an area that we see on this site, the more that interest will impact our construction plans. So, get loud.

Register your home or business here today. Spread the word to your neighbors. You might find yourself surprised at what we can offer you today.

Fiber Construction Is Underway!

2:53pm April 24, 2018

Fiber Construction Is Underway!

At this time, 4,000 households and businesses have access to fiber optic internet connections from DTC Communications! This milestone is part of a larger plan to connect our entire service area to a state-of-the-art fiber optic telecommunications network.

Crews first broke ground in Cannon County, Tennessee, building fiber to the west, northwest and southwest of Woodbury. At this time, construction is underway in DeKalb County in areas north of Smithville and along Cookeville Highway (Highway 56), as well as in Rutherford County. Crews will begin work in Wilson County starting in June.

Efforts are underway to determine the timeline and areas where construction will be completed. DTC Communications is committed to completing this enormous effort in an efficient manner in order to provide fiber access to our members as quickly as possible. Help us know where to build fiber next by registering on DTCFiber.net. We need to hear from you!
