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.

MISC—As the construction season wraps up, new drop bury requests will be paused. Requests received during this time will be scheduled for burial in the spring when conditions improve. In most cases, a temporary drop can be installed to ensure service to your home. We will make every effort to complete drop buries already on the schedule, as long as weather conditions allow.
