Fiber-Optic Network Construction

Building a fiber-optic network takes months of planning—from network design and ordering of equipment to locating utilities and actual construction, there is a great deal of work to be done before we can connect your home to HBC fiber services.

Rest assured, our team is committed to working efficiently and ensuring the work is done right the first time around. Our goal is to keep you informed as we move through the process and get your home connected as quickly as possible.

Ready to sign up for HBC service? Click “Live Chat” in the bottom right corner to chat with us online, call us at (888) 474-9995, or stop by your local HBC office.

To connect your home to HBC services, a fiber-optic line (“drop”) is required and can be buried to your home while we are constructing the network. This will be done at no additional cost to you and will prepare your home to receive HBC services as soon as construction is complete.

During the colder months, a temporary drop can be installed to bring services to your home and will be buried in the spring when ground conditions allow.

Once boring and fiber drops are completed, crews will work to restore any mild lawn disturbances by smoothing out the soil and adding grass seed.

2026 Construction Progress Updates

03/16/26

With spring on the horizon, planning is underway as we prepare for the next phase of fiber construction in Farmington. Our engineering and design teams are currently focused on upcoming build areas as Flight Fiber Internet continues expanding across the community.

PON C2—Engineering and design work is in progress for this area as we prepare for future construction. As plans take shape and work begins moving forward, we’ll share additional updates.

Flight Fiber Internet service is already available in many Farmington neighborhoods. If your home is in a service-ready area and you haven’t connected yet, our team is happy to help you get started. With 5-year price guarantees available across all Internet tiers, it’s a great time to make the switch.

With longer days and warmer weather on the way, we’re looking forward to another busy construction season in Farmington.

As we head into a new year, we want to take a moment to again thank the Farmington community for the support shown throughout last season’s fiber build. It was a busy year, and we’re excited about what’s ahead as Flight Fiber continues to grow in the area.

Flight Fiber Internet service is already available in many PONs throughout Farmington. If you haven’t connected yet, our team would love to help—and there are some great offers available, including a 5-Year Price Guarantee. In other words, no sneaky increases—just straightforward pricing you can count on.

Construction updates will return later this spring as work resumes. We’re looking forward to continuing to expand our network and serve even more Farmington neighbors in the months ahead.
