Rural Hartley Fiber

Hartley Fiber Update - November 2024

Most mainline fiber construction is completed. We are currently working on drops (from the fiber pedestal to the house) and anticipate finishing the project in the Spring of 2025.

Project Details & Map

Great news! As you may know, Evertek and The Community Agency (TCA) of Sanborn, are bringing fiber Internet, TV and Phone services to the rural customers of Hartley. We would love the opportunity to serve you when the project is complete, so please read below.

We applied for and received funding for part of this project from the State of Iowa Broadband Grant program.

The area highlighted in green is the fiber build area. The project will be divided into 2 Phases with the dividing line at Hwy 18 or 320th Street.

Phase 1 -  Anything on Hwy 18 (320th Street) and north will be Phase 1. We anticipate the project beginning in June/July, 2024 time frame and have mostly completed Phase 1 infrastructure in 2024. We anticipate starting customer installations in the spring of 2025.

Phase 2 - Includes anything South of Hwy 18 (320th Street) will begin in 2025

The construction process occurs in 3 phases:

  • Main line fiber

  • Fiber 'drops' to homes

  • And splicing/testing - and then customers installations

Why does fiber matter?

  • Ultra-fast bandwidth (speed)

  • Ultra-reliable

  • Unlimited! No limits, no data usage caps. 

  • Makes your home even more valuable, without raising your taxes

  • Connect all your devices to stream, game, shop, work, video chat. Use your Internet like you want, without limits!

  • Less than 50% of Iowa customers have Fiber
