Comfrey updates timeline for townwide fiber internet installation
Summary
Hanson Communications and contractor Vikor told the council main fiber lines are expected by May, household drops in May–June and service potentially operational by the end of summer; the company said it will offer phone service and is exploring streaming options with no charge to bring fiber to the home and no purchase commitment required.
Representatives from Hanson Communications updated the Comfrey City Council on April 8 about the town's fiber internet deployment. The company reported contractors are working on boring main lines and hope to have main lines in place by May, begin household drops in May and June, and—if work proceeds smoothly—have fiber internet operational by the end of summer.
Officials said there will be no charge to households to bring the fiber up to the home and no commitment to purchase service is required. Hanson Communications said it plans to offer phone service over fiber and is investigating a possible streaming service.
Council members received the update as part of the regular meeting; no formal action was recorded regarding franchise agreements or service approval. The update signals a near-term timeline for residents to expect installation activity and later service availability.
