Default Fiber to Welch

We still have Consolidated DSL on Welch, lost internet yesterday afternoon. J said that there had been a lineman on a ladder up the pole, I put in a trouble report as he must have messed up our connection.

Took a walk today and saw what looked like phone wire hanging down with a coil of extra wire on the ground. The next pole down had another coil hanging down, so I took a look. Optical Cable.

Behind the WHYC we saw a large spool, they are running optical cable just above the existing phone cable. Maybe a spring ’25 offering?
