Is there anything being done in Rives yet?

Hi, Dennis. The Union City/Rives zone has not yet reached its goal, so construction has not yet begun in this area. Currently, the zone is at 78% of its goal, with 96 more registrants needed. We ultimately plan to offer this service to all of our eligible members, but we are allowing them to help drive the order of the buildout by signing up and meeting their goals. In addition to this, we are applying for grants to help keep costs down for our members. You can check your zones status at any time by vising the "Zones" tab on this site. Thank you for your support of Gibson Connect!

I am also curious about the time-line for the Troy zone. I completely understand the reason behind the participation goals and using that as a guide to decide the order of build-outs. It appears that most zones have reached the goals needed and those zone that have not yet reached the goal are very close to doing so. I signed up for this back in 2017 and I had hoped that by now we would be much closer to having this service than we are. Troy reached its goal in July of 2020, same time as Woodland Mills - but Woodland Mills zone is nearing completion and Troy zone (according to this website) hasn't even been scheduled for engineering yet. I understand this is a MAJOR project and very expensive I am sure. I am no rocket scientist, but in my feeble opinion - the faster folks are hooked up, the faster Gibson Connect can start getting a return on the investment. I also fully believe that once service is available in an area, households that might not have signed up for the service initially will get on board with the service from Gibson Connect and therefore boost the investment return. My point being - maybe additional contractors to get this completed faster could not only get the build-out done, but allow Gibson Connect to start recouping costs faster.

Hi, Ken. We plan to begin work in the Troy Zone early fall. As we pass homes and businesses we will connect them. We expect to have registered members connected by late spring of 2022. We have applied for available grants to help hold down the cost of the fiber network buildout. We were awarded a grant for the Woodland Mills area that required it be completed before the end of 2020. We did bring in extra contractors to help with this work. In fact, we regularly bring in additional contractors as personnel and materials are available. However, we only want to bring in contractors that will do quality work. We agree that it is to everyone’s advantage that we complete the buildout and provide this important service as quickly as possible. Please know that we are doing our absolute best to push the project forward. Please continue to be patient; it will be well worth the wait.

Hi, Debra. At this time, we plan to begin construction in the Troy zone in the early fall, with connections completed by the spring of 2022. Please keep in mind, however, that the weather, the pandemic, and other factors could cause delays. We are working as quickly as possible to bring this service to all of our eligible members. Thank you for your support of Gibson Connect!

Sarah, Thanks for the reply, but is it possible to tell the Newbern registrants some sort estimated timetable for the Newbern zone? Surely we are not looking at mid-2023......you may have run my line 6 feet underground if that's the case.

The timeline seems to be getting pushed back ( obviously a lot of things factor into that) . I was originally told that Newbern would be installed in the fall of this year. That was just a month or two ago. Now they're saying end of year. Looks like it's going to be a while. And it does seem newbern got jumped on the priority list (I'm sure a lot of factors there as well). Not complaining just speculating and dreaming of one day having modern internet.....

Hi, Bill, we're working on an email update to you and our other registrants. Our plan, if all goes well, is to get Newbern connected by the end of this year or the first part of 2022. Please keep in mind, however, that the weather, the pandemic, and other factors could cause delays. We are moving as quickly as we can, so please continue to be patient with us. You will love the service when we can get you connected.

I have noticed that some zones that finished their registrations after Newbern are getting service before Newbern. So where exactly does Newbern fall in the line? We can't assume that just because we fall next in line on the list that we will be next to get service, right? Just trying to figure out where we stand.....

First, thank you for registering for Gibson Connect’s service and for your question. The order in which zones meet their participation goals is still important to the order of our broadband buildout, but there are other factors, such as grant requirements, as well as engineering considerations and available resources that also are influencing the order of construction. We are aggressively applying for grants at every opportunity to help hold down our costs. The buildout is an enormous, time-intensive and costly project, so we are taking advantage of every option available to control our costs and build our broadband network as affordably as possible. These grants have various requirements including time frames within which certain areas must be built. Also, there are engineering and resource considerations that can affect the order of our build. We are managing all of these pieces of the puzzle to most economically and efficiently complete the fiber network buildout. Ultimately, we plan to provide access to all our members who are eligible. At this point, our best estimate for completion is mid-2023; but we know that you and our other members need this essential service ASAP and we are pushing the project forward as fast as we can. We are working on updates to our registrants now and will provide you with more information soon. Please watch your email for the update. Thank you for your continued support of Gibson Connect!

Hi, Brittany. We apologize for the delay in our team's response. Due to inclement weather, we had to postpone splicing in your area. Our crew should be there very soon to splice the fiber. After this, we will call you to schedule a home installation. We appreciate your patience and your support for Gibson Connect!

Hi, Shannon. I do see that we have received the light reading for you location, so you are ready to be connected! Our team has been working as quickly as possible to get those calls out, but it usually takes a few days after it has been turned into us to get the install scheduled. If you would like to call in and try to go ahead to get on the schedule knowing that you are ready, please call 731.562.6001 and one of our team members will be glad to get that pulled in and ready.

Can I please get an update for Troy as I know there are some parts of Troy getting hooked up now, but I was told they are considered the Obion zone.

Hi, Bill. Gibson Connect does not control applications used on our network or what content customers access and we have no plans to do so. However, we cannot control what our upstream wholesale internet providers do and we must comply with federal and state law. Related to your question, Gibson Connect will soon roll out tools such as parental controls that will enable individual users to monitor or control content at their own home or business. Thank you for your support of Gibson Connect.

Hey, Bill. We are progressing through the Obion zone, currently. We have started connecting members in town, and are working on construction in the rural areas of the zone. I see that your service drop has been placed, but the fiber has not yet been spliced. Once we receive word that the splicing has been completed and there is light to the home, our team will reach out and contact you to schedule your installation. It should not be much longer. Thank you for supporting Gibson Connect!

Hi, Jason. We are are currently doing a second pass through the Woodland Mills zone to complete the remaining members that have not yet been connected. I see that your service drop has been completed, but the fiber still needs to be spliced before your installation will be ready. Crews are still active all throughout the area working, so it should not be long before you are ready for connection. Once we receive word that the splicing has been done and everything is ready, our team will reach out to you to schedule your installation. We appreciate your support, and look forward to serving you, soon!
