Tengir – the future is optical Tengir wants to thank the residents of Öxarfjörður and Kópasker for their enthusiastic reception of the fibre optic cable. By now, most people who received the fibre optic cable link to their houses have an active connection, but work is still in progress on activating the connections. If residents experience any interference in the connection, please contact us. The next phase, from Lundur to Bjarnastaðir, Vestaraland and Kelduhverfi is in preparation and which will be completed this year. It should be noted that the “line fee” previously paid to other companies should be cancelled when the fibre optic cable is installed, unless the old telephone line is being used. Tengir collects the fee for the fibre optic cable. Tengir hf. ~kt:660702-2880 ~Fjölnisgata 6c ~603 Akureyri Phone 460 0460 tengir@tengir.is www.tengir.is
