NEK Broadband said those who’ve already ordered a service package will be contacted soon to schedule their installation. Others in those areas, or elsewhere, can check for service and sign up to be notified when it’s available at get.nekbroadband.org.
“If you have had underground conduit placed on your property please call customer service at (877)-635-3423 and let us know so we can schedule you for installation,” the company’s notice said.
