When Fiber Internet—the fastest and most reliable way to get online—comes to a neighborhood or business district, there’s always a buzz of excitement. With lightning-fast speeds and unbeatable reliability, Fiber delivers the best experience for streaming, video calls, gaming, working from home, and everything in between.
But before you can enjoy those benefits, there’s an important part of the process: building the network. And that sometimes means our crews need to access property in your area—including yours or your neighbor’s. This is where something called a public right of way comes into play.
At Wisper Internet, we want to be transparent about how public rights of way work and what you can expect when construction begins.
What Is a Public Right of Way?
A public right of way is a section of land—both on the surface and underground—that utility providers are legally allowed to access to deliver essential services. These areas are established when property is developed and typically include space for electric lines, water and sewer systems, and yes, fiber internet lines.
That means when we’re expanding Wisper Fiber Internet in your community, our crews may need to install, upgrade, or repair equipment within these designated rights of way. This allows us to build the infrastructure that brings high-speed internet to you and your neighbors.
It’s important to note:
-
Installing Fiber in the right of way does not connect your home. We only do that if you choose to sign up for service.
-
From time to time, our technicians may return to the right of way to maintain or upgrade the network to keep your speeds fast and reliable.
How Wisper Internet Uses Rights of Way
Whether or not you’re a Wisper customer (yet!), our teams may be in your neighborhood building the network that connects your community. We understand construction can raise questions, which is why communication is a big part of our process.
You can expect:
-
Advance updates through door hangers, social media, or our website.
-
Clear communication before, during, and after construction.
-
Respect for your property while we work in public rights of way.
What About My Lawn or Landscaping?
We know one of the biggest homeowner concerns is the yard. No one wants their landscaping left in disarray. At Wisper, we take this seriously:
-
Once construction is complete, we do our best to restore the area to its original condition.
-
If you ever have concerns, our local customer support team is here to help.
Because we live and work in the same communities we serve, protecting your property and keeping things looking good matters to us.
