The Broadband Committee has been
working with Axiom, CMP, Consolidated, the Maine Connectivity
Authority, and the Town of Chebeague to deliver high speed fiber
Internet service available to every home and business on the Island by
July, 2024.
Construction of the new Chebeague
Fiber Network is scheduled to start in the April of 2024 – the pole
owners (CMP and Consolidated) will have until then to make the
necessary adjustments on the poles around the island.
The Network will give everyone on
the island access to internet speeds ranging from 50 megabits/sec to 1
Gigabit/second, depending on their desires/needs, and should be
operational by late Summer or Fall.
Information on what the
installation at your house will look like is available on the “Installation”
tab of this site.
The Network is now ready for
signups! Free installation by Axiom is only available at the time of
the initial roll-out, after which time they must charge over $300 to
do so, so act quickly! More information regarding costs and
details is available on the “Signup” tab,
or call Axiom at:
207-255-0679
Update:
Just before New Years, we received our first load of
material on a 53’ flat bed:
7 large fiber reels
9 medium size fiber reels
6 pallets of metal strand cable
Looking ahead, we are expecting a 40’ container as well as our final
material load following behind!
