Construction continues as OEC Fiber celebrates first year achievements By Kayla Brandt

t's been one full year since OEC broke ground on the OEC Fiber project. While we've reached many milestones since April, 2018, we still have a long way to go. OEC Fiber crews continue to work as quickly and safely as possible to bring affordable, reliable high-speed fiber services to each our members. We've made some incredible progress so far. • 775 miles of fiber built (which is almost enough to stretch from Oklahoma City to the Grand Canyon!) • 22 Fiber Huts built and connected at each OEC substation • First pilot zone opened on January 16, 2019 • First live-to-the-public zone opened on February 11, 2019 • Over 750 online in two months of connecting subscribers! As you can see in the photo on this page, rigorous construction is involved in bringing high-speed internet services to the homes of our 43,000 members and other customers across central Oklahoma. We would like to thank our very patient membership for keeping up the excitement as we continue to grow. Be the first to know when we open new zones by following us on Facebook (use your smartphone's camera to scan the code to the right or visit www.Facebook.com/OECFiber).
