This year great progress was made on the Chesterfield Broadband Project. In 2018, we finalized the design for the network, submitted pole applications to Eversource and Verizon, designed and contracted for our Network Communications Hut, and selected Westfield Gas and Electric (Whip City Fiber) as our internet service provider. There is still a lot to do before we can begin construction. However, 2019 should see completion of the pole “make ready” preparations, installation of our Network Communications Hut, a subscription drive, and the beginning of construction. We expect the network will be operational by the end of 2019 or soon thereafter.

• The Town of Chesterfield will own and operate the Broadband Network. This means it is your network!
• All of the work so far has been funded by a State Grant.
• Informational meetings will be held this summer with information on rates and costs.
• Sign-up for service will happen this summer or early fall. ? Check out our website for up-to-date information on the progress of the network.
• WiredWest is no longer part of the Chesterfield Broadband Project. If you sent in $49 to WiredWest, instructions for obtaining a refund are on our website.
• Chesterfield is expected to be one of the first six of the hilltowns to complete their network.
