My checkbook is eager to meet you

What street are you on?

Travis, appreciate your transparency through this process on this board. You've proved time and again how much I'd rather work with a company like yours than one of the mega-providers.

I couldn't agree more. It's incredibly refreshing to deal with a local company providing an affordable top of the line product with a focus on customer satisfaction. My biggest fear is Comcast or CenturyLink some day buying them out.

Thanks guys for the support, really appreciate it.

I just turned 46, so you guys are stuck with me for another 30 years, no reason to sell, our plan is just to keep growing and try to stay ahead of the technology curve and keep having fun

What street are you on?

5th Ave somewhere between 48th and the Parkway.

I know why you posted an area rather than your exact address, but I'm just going to pretend that you don't actually know exactly where you live, because it's more fun that way.

Oh, my house? Yeah I think it's one of those over there.

ok, we will see you first thing next spring.

My buddy on Bryant in the 40s is dying to meet you guys too.

Travis, Can you give any thoughts on when and where you will be expanding to next in the city? Are looking into ramping up the speed of your expansion?

Hope to post expansion plans for 2016 in the next 4-5 weeks.

We are going to try something a bit different next year, plan, design and permit three phases of deployment, commit to the first two and if weather is good and customer interest continues to be high we will install phase three. If weather is a problem next summer phase three will roll to the top of the 2017 season.

As far as speed of install, really depends on customer interest, so far so good

Thanks for the support.

I can only hope for my parents 'sake that when you get around to doing NE, you look at bleeding a bit over into certain neighboring suburbs.

Looks like phase 1 for 2016 is up on their map - fill in of streets they skipped this year in Tangletown, Field, Regina and Northrop. http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/fiberusi

And Stevens Square, too! Woo!

Out of curiosity, what's the hold up on Bryant Avenue? Planned future street reconstruction or something giving you pause?

Bryant has no grassy easy-to-dig boulevards?

Sometimes the answer is just too obvious! That would explain why they're able to do Grand south of 36th, but not between Lake & 36th.

Though, somehow they managed to do the main arteries of Hennepin and Lyndale, which both sort of have on-and-off boulevards, sometimes fully paved/concreted over.

There might be a full reconstruction of Bryant coming up in the next 5 years...I'll have to check the CLIC report.

::happy dance::

Nice fill in! It'll be interesting to see if they plod north next or bolt east for Hiawatha and the Mississippi. Prior press releases seem to indicate the latter.

I also wonder if they have a certain installation threshold they want to meet before rolling out IPTV.

We are planning three phases next summer, phase 1 is set (map updated), phase 2 almost ready (2-3 weeks), and phase 3 probably another 6-8 weeks before I am comfortable committing to it next summer.

Phase 3 will also be broken down into smaller pieces as this will be started end of the summer/beginning of fall and weather might effect 100% deployment.

Phase 1 orders are being accepted now, this should will give us all winter to get the internal wiring at people homes completed well ahead of the outside being completed.

Thanks for the support.
