KINETIC HIGH SPEED INTERNET:
It looks like we are finally getting
high speed internet throughout Franconia
Township. Kinetic (formerly
Windstream) will be burying fiber optic
cable throughout Franconia Township over
the next several months and will be
offering high-speed internet throughout
the township in the near future.
If you have any questions about the
construction or just want more
information, you can call 855-257-1174
or go to
gokinetic.com/fiber-construction.
Kinetic will also leave some informaton
hanging on your doorknob during the
construction process.
We know
that some of you already have micro
fiber optic cable buried along
your road and in your yard, and Kinetic
will burying cable alongside the Midco
cable. So, those of you with Midco
will have a choice between the two
companies. Pricing for Kinetic
will be reasonable. |
