EAST HADDAM FIBER
OWN YOUR
INTERNET
A Community Owned Fiber Network
The Town of East Haddam wants to prepare for the future. We want to improve internet connectivity for all, create a competitive marketplace of internet service providers ensuring long-term pricing stability, as well as positioning our community for future economic growth.
"Reliable internet/fiber is critical infrastructure - no different than electricity, water, sewer, or roads. Creating a town owned fiber optic network is the answer to not only reliability but also cost efficiency. We can build the network and then internet providers will want to compete giving our residents and businesses multiple options at a fair price. Creating this network also puts East Haddam in the forefront of innovation and labels us as a forward-thinking community welcoming new business and new residents, alike."
Irene Haines - First Selectman
