Crazy fast internet is coming to Downtown Westminster!  Construction of Phase 3 of the Westminster Fiber Network is currently underway, with completion anticipated this summer.  Construction of Phase 4 will immediately follow completion of Phase 3 and should be operational by the end of 2018.  A phase map and construction updates can be found at the Fiber Network page link below.  Please remember to fill out an access agreement to get your connection drop; those who have pre-ordered service with Ting will receive their drop first.
