SALISBURY – Breezeline has recently started installing fiber-optic cables here to provide high-speed internet services. The task will be finished before Labor Day, the company said.
In its first community on the Massachusetts North Shore, fiber is being installed on telephone poles on several streets, while other streets will have fiber placed underground in the public right-of-way.
The subterranean project will cover a limited area and the fiber optic cable will be buried 28 inches below the surface.
Breezeline, headquartered in Quincy, is the first provider in Salisbury to offer fiber internet via advanced Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology. The technology offers users online experience with fast download and upload speeds, great for video calls, online classes, virtual doctor visits and gaming.
“We are excited to offer fiber services and advanced connectivity solutions in Salisbury,” said Frank van der Post, president of Breezeline. “As the exclusive provider of FTTH technology in this market, we are pleased to bring this community not only a choice in providers, but also the benefits of advanced fiber technology for a great connected experience.”
