We are set to begin our pole survey work for August 21st. We will begin with 200 poles in Baileyville and 200 poles in Calais. Representatives from Downeast Broadband’s network builder (Pioneer Broadband) and Consolidated Communications will do a “ride along” to examine the poles and determine what make-ready work, if any, will be necessary Read More
July 31st – We have just received notification from Consolidated Communications (owners of the utility poles) that they are ready for us to begin pole survey work! We will be surveying over 2,000 utility poles to determine which poles are ready for attachment and which poles need some pre-attachment work. Next up, we string the fiber!
These communication buildings are now in place in Calais, Maine! They will house the fiber that will bring you the fastest, most reliable Internet service available. Each unit weighs about 42,000 pounds and is made of pre-cast concrete.
May Updates: Central Office sites for Baileyville and Calais have been determined! The Baileyville central office will be located on Broadway Street, adjacent to the Town Office and the Calais central office will be on Scouting Way, just off South Street.
