What: SELCO's fiber-to-the-home build-out and retirement of the old coax cable plant.
Where it stands: About 95 percent of the town is covered, with roughly 9,900 fiber connections out of 12,500 locations; fiber is 69 percent of broadband customers. Coax is being retired node by node; remaining work is mostly multi-dwelling buildings.
