Case Summary

The town of Boyertown was upgrading its internet infrastructure from cable service to a fiber service. The town recently appropriated the necessary funds to upgrade its broadband infrastructure to deliver faster internet from Boyertown to New Berlinville. Fiber cables are the only thing that can support the demand for higher speeds as well as the distance within networks.

Over the course of the said project, every house, condominium, townhouse, hotel, and business will upgrade to a fiber connection. Inside each of these structures, an internet box will be installed by the town of Boyertown connecting them to the town of New Berlinville and Windstream fiber network.
