Dobson Fiber held a ground breaking ceremony on the Washita County courthouse lawn last Thursday to announce that they are bringing a multi-million-dollar expansion of its fiber internet offering to Cordell.
“Having served Oklahomans since 1936, we are excited to introduce the Cordell community to the most advanced fiber network with the fastest residential speeds available nationwide. Our upcoming network deployment is meticulously designed to deliver up to 10 gigabits per second to the residents we serve here,” said Francisco Maella, CEO at Dobson Fiber. “Our commitment to launching innovative products and the latest technology is unwavering to the residents and businesses we serve.”
“We’re delighted by the overwhelming support from our customers this year, and we’re excited to extend our presence to the majority of homes here in Cordell. This expansion also has a large impact on local businesses with faster and more reliable connectivity to fuel their growth.” stated Jim Horsburgh, Chief Strategy Officer at Dobson Fiber.
Construction of the network will be completed in geographic zones. Once each zone is nearing completion, residents will be notified when they can begin to sign up for service. Dobson’s website allows you to input your address and get notified if your address is on their fiber build-out plan at dobson.net. If you register your address and contact information online, they will reach out when Dobson is ready for orders and installation.
