Surf Net says fiber now available to about 695 homes in South Whitley; company will study park public‑Wi‑Fi options
Summary
Surf Net's market manager told the council about fiber availability to roughly 695 South Whitley homes and about 2,000 homes outside town; he said he will research speed options and feasibility for providing public Wi‑Fi in town parks.
Jordan Holzwart, market manager for Surf Net, told the South Whitley Town Council on Sept. 24 that roughly 695 homes inside South Whitley are eligible to receive fiber internet service and about 2,000 homes outside town also have fiber options through the company.
Holzwart said his role is to ensure residents receive expected service after installation and to resolve technical issues in a timely manner. Council members discussed whether the town could provide public internet access at parks; Holzwart said there would be different speed and configuration options and that he would research what would work best for the parks and the town’s needs.
No formal action was taken; Holzwart’s remarks were recorded as part of the public‑input portion of the meeting. The council previously discussed related infrastructure work under department reports but did not vote on park Wi‑Fi during this session.
