CityLink reports 6,600 homes service-ready as installations accelerate
Summary
Assistant Service Director Mike Testa said approximately 6,600 homes were 'service ready' on CityLink's map, nearly 2,000 homes are connected and more than 1,000 use CityLink streaming TV; installations are accelerating after splicing work and contractor focus increased.
CityLink's fiber rollout continued to advance, with Assistant Service Director Mike Testa reporting that approximately 6,600 homes are now service-ready and nearly 2,000 homes already connected. Testa said splicing and lateral work have progressed across many neighborhoods and that the contractor increased crews to accelerate the build and installation pace.
Testa explained the project is transitioning from construction to installation: construction may wrap in about three years, but customer installations often trail by roughly six months, so staff are exploring ways to increase installation capacity (e.g., scheduling evenings and Saturdays) to accommodate customers. Council members asked about specific neighborhoods and staff offered to follow up with timing for areas still in 'yellow' on the rollout map.
