Nextlink and GAC are committed to making this construction process as easy as possible, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Nextlink at 855-903-4169 or nextlinkinternet.com/construction. Below questions homeowners may have regarding the fiber construction and responses from Nextlink.
What do I need to do to make sure that underground items (sprinkler system, sump pump, etc.) in my yard are not damaged?
Notify Nextlink if you have any items under your yard that they need to avoid. You can either mark these items with pink flags, spray them with landscape-safe paint, or report them directly to Nextlink.
Does Nextlink have permission to be on my property?
Yes. We have the legal right to access the designated utility easements. These easements typically run along a back alley, street, sidewalk, rear lot line, or between two lots. If the easement is within a fenced yard, our construction crews will need your help to access the area.
Will Nextlink ensure that my property is not damaged?
Nextlink will make every effort to minimize impact to properties and leave everything as it was prior to construction beginning. Once construction is complete and weather permits, Nextlink will restore lawns in areas where digging occurred. Additionally, if any damage to property does occur, rest assured Nextlink will cover the costs to restore it.
When will I be able to get fiber internet installed at my home?
If Nextlink construction efforts are currently underway in your neighborhood, please be sure to register at fiber.nextlinkinternet.com. This will allow Nextlink to communicate construction updates to you as well as ensure you are one of the first homes, contact to schedule an installation appointment once construction is complete
