Sign Up NowWhat Do You Get?
The PUD will install fiber optic cable to eligible residents and businesses in our rural project areas at no cost to the customer. Installation will generally follow the power routes, either underground or overhead. The PUD will also provide and install the fiber equivalent of a modem.
After installation, internet service from the PUD begins at $65 mo. and will require a service application at a later date to activate. Service from the PUD comes with a gigabit wifi router. Because the network is open access, other service providers may also provide a monthly service option.

Fiber installation is provided at no cost to ONLY the 1st 60%-70% of homes and businesses in our eligible rural project areas to register. Additional rules apply, see the details on the sign up page.
In the Port Townsend Business District area, fiber installation is only available to businesses and requires a $1,200 cost share.
