No, not any more. Wes contacted Edison and sent pictures to prove that there is no snow up here in Wrightwood. Our projected date for section 3 to go live is the first week of June, with section 4 to follow. We are pulling the fiber through section 3 as we speak, and are setting the lines in section 4. After the 'backbone' is set up, we will pull fiber through section 4 as well!

Excellent news!

Please don't forget to pull fiber for section 5. :-)

Of course not! Section 5 has some underground and some aerial so it requires different permits, but we are working on it.

Maybe the underground part should be section 6? <ducking>

Did I see UIA installing on Lone Pine Canyon somewhere between Heath Creek and Sheep Creek yesterday?

Hi lwt42,

Yes you did! We are not installing homes, but we are installing the fiber on the lines. Section 3 will be up and running in the beginning of June. I will personally be calling all of section 3 that signed up to give an exact date. Again, thank you all for being so patient with us!

Dare we ask for a date for section 5? Especially Lark west of the Catholic Church?

Not quite yet, but we are cranking on all the sections.. Section 4 has a lot of fiber pulled in already. We have our own Aerial crew and equipment instead of depending on subcontractors. We have separate splice and Aerial crews so they can work independently. As soon as Section 4 has fiber pulled we will start on Section 5.

I can hardly wait until you've completed the WW installation and can turn your attention to possibly installing in Pinon Hills. cheryl o7o

Here's the PUC filing: http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M186/K810/186810851.PDF

Translation: Frontier had no right to object to the project because they didn't serve any or at least a portion of the proposed area, and, ironically, couldn't manage to show up on time.
....and here is where the filing describes just how lousy the service that Frontier was stating they would provide would be versus Race's 25/25 and 1gig service:
A pathetic showing by a company that truly is incapable of getting it's act together, and apparently EVERYONE knows it.

For those of us still cursed with Frontier service, in addition to CAF money from the FCC, we're all getting hit by a $2.00 high-speed internet fee to help offset the cost of improving our service -- according to Frontier.

Frontier's problem here is that they don't have enough total bandwidth between here and Victorville, so each time a customer leaves for Spectrum or UIA, Frontier does get better. I'm not seeing the horrible latency that I used to see.

That's not a reason to stay with Frontier.

According to the L.A. Times, Frontier has a bumpy future. http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-frontier-verizon-landlines-20170718-story.html
