Race Communications citywide fiber network
A private fiber internet provider is investing about $18 million to wire roughly half the city — about 14,000 homes and businesses — over 18 to 24 months, adding competition that could lower prices. Construction starts within weeks; expect door hangers, mail notices, and some street potholing.
