Skip ahead to view the timelines of our current community builds.
While we set estimated timelines, some phases can be delayed due to factors out of our control, such as weather or permit approvals. Most of our work is primarily completed within the Municipal right of way and follows all required permits. We always strive to minimize any inconvenience and ensure the work is done as smoothly as possible.
As we do our work, you will notice some new things around your neighbourhood.
Marker posts in public rights of way are essential for compliance, efficiency, and safety in FlexNetworks’ fibre architecture. Strategically placed to minimize impact and maximize access, they ensure critical telecom assets are easily identifiable, protect network reliability, and prevent damage. This infrastructure underscores FlexNetworks’ commitment to responsible operations and service excellence.
We understand the disruption that building a fibre network in your community can cause, and we truly appreciate your patience. Some of the activities and equipment you will see our partners use are:
We are dedicated to updating you with the most accurate planned timelines on the 5 most important stages; from when you will start to see crews working in your community to when service will be lit up in your home.
Our teams of designers & engineers pore over drawings and maps to plan the best way to get fibre to your home. Then we send them to the Municipality for approval.
We send out surveyors to mark property lines and the planned locations of the infrastructure (fibre optic conduit which is approximately 1 meter deep and the handholes and flower pots which will be at ground level).
Our construction crews build the infrastructure to distribute fibre to the homes in your community and place the cable. Then our splicing crews make all the connections to get services ready.
Our service drop crews contact you to schedule a pre-install appointment. They will then place the fibre service cable from the street to your home and prepare it for connection.
Once the service drop is ready, we will contact you to schedule an appointment to complete the installation into your home and activate the service. After this you are fully upgraded to fibre-optic internet.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the operations of the construction phase, please call or text us at (306) 979-6733, or utilise our website chat box.
