Fiber internet is coming to Superior!
Expanded access to high-speed fiber internet will soon be available in Superior! The Superior Town Council recently approved license agreements with two fiber providers – Intrepid and Metronet.
Both providers are now working on design drawings for Superior and plan to extend high-speed fiber throughout Town to include Rock Creek, Lanterns, Calmante, Rogers Farm, Original Town, Coal Creek Crossing, and Sagamore.
What is fiber?
Fiber internet uses fiber-optic cables, which transmit data as pulses of light. By doing so, fiber offers faster speeds, more reliability, and better performance than traditional cable or DSL connections.

What can residents expect?
Once design plans are approved, the telecommunication companies will coordinate with impacted property owners throughout construction, which will last approximately two years once started.
Residents should expect to receive flyers and door hangers from both Intrepid and Metronet discussing when construction will start and what to expect during construction.
In general, the fiber lines will be installed via directional drills, but there will be some excavations within utility easements on private property and/or within Town rights-of-way. Construction around each resident's property should only last a couple days. Once complete, the only visible infrastructure that will remain are underground service boxes, similar in size to the water meters currently on a resident's property.
