Last week, the question was asked, “What are all the conduits for in the ground, are they all for Wightman Fibre?” What a great question!
Answer: The smaller conduits are for the individual fibres that will go to each home. The larger conduits are for various fibre lines that each contain hundreds of fibres necessary to make the connections to each home. Our plans include anticipation that every home and business will be connected to Wightman Fibre, and we also have capacity for growth beyond what is necessary today. The different colours of the conduits help the installation crews easily identify what goes where.

Meier Boulevard, Willow Street, Tweedsmuir Place, Hickory Lane, Babb Crescent, Abbey Court, and Walsh Crescent.
