A 25 megabit connection — which Custer says is enough to handle multiple simultaneous videoconferences and distance learning — would be $79.95.The fiber network is expected to continue to expand across Prince of Wales Island in the coming years.
“Just a couple of days ago, we applied for additional funds to build fiber to the home in Hydaburg, Whale Pass and also Thorne Bay, including the South Side subdivision, which is a hard place to reach,” Custer said. “We’re hopeful — we want to get all of the communities on Prince of Wales up to the same very high standard.”Elsewhere in the region, Custer says AP&T is leveraging grant funding to expand fiber service to outlying communities in Upper Lynn Canal, including Klukwan and Dyea.
