2025 Fiber Expansion Projects Announced

We are gearing up for construction season as warmer weather and sunny days are fast approaching. Aiming to bring fiber optic internet to all of our 4,000 customers, we are making significant progress this year, with 262 residential and business customers set to receive a fiber connection.  

Key Highlights  

Coverage  

This year’s expansion projects will involve approximately 42 miles of new fiber optic cable, reaching homes and businesses across Butte, Custer, Cassia, Oneida, and Box Elder (Utah) Counties. 

Projects by Area 

The biggest project of the year, in terms of the amount of fiber being buried underground, will be happening in Arco. Construction crews will lay 15.5 miles of mainline fiber and bring fiber internet to many homes along the route  

Residents in Cassia and Oneida counties, particularly in Hegler, Raft River, and Holbrook, will gain access to fiber connectivity. Meanwhile, in Custer County and Box Elder County, the efforts from last year’s mainline upgrades will provide residents in Darlington and Portage with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). 

Speeds 

Customers with aging copper lines will experience a major upgrade in internet speeds with fiber optic internet offering speeds up to 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps) download and upload. 

Construction Timeline  

Construction is expected to begin as early as April and is slated for completion by the end of November. ATC will notify residents and businesses in these areas before work begins. 

"We are excited to bring our customers the best in internet technology—taking them to fiber and beyond!" said Kyle Redman, Director of Sales and Business Development. "Fiber is a key driver of growth and development in education, business, and healthcare. For us, it’s not just about providing high-speed internet; it's about ensuring no one is left behind in today’s digital age."
