Lehi Fiber Network

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Lehi City is in the process of building a fiber-optic broadband network to provide high-speed Internet services to its community. After completing a Fiber Feasibility Study (see the study under the documents tab), Lehi City engaged in a competitive process to hire a company to design, construct, and operate a fiber network. This page will provide information and updates throughout the duration of the project.

This fiber network can bring you many benefits including:

  • Multi-Gig Internet Speeds
  • Virtually Unlimited Bandwidth Potential
  • A More Reliable Internet Connection

Construction Update

We are thrilled to announce that the very first area of the Lehi City Fiber Network is moving into the construction phase. Construction crews will be in this area working on placing the mainline fiber. You can see this area on the map below.

A lot goes into building a fiber network. While there are many pieces to connecting residents to fiber, we are excited to take this big step! It is anticipated that the first customers will be connected by Spring 2023.

    The fiber construction is knocking out our CenturyLink internet early every morning comes back on in the evening. If it goes out again I won't be able to work from home and it will be too late to go into the office by the time I find out our internet is off.

    Wayne asked 2 days ago

    The City's fiber project should not be creating any issues with existing internet service. Please call or email the project hotline to confirm. The hotline number is 385-201-1045 and the email is fiber@lehi-ut.gov

    One of my biggest concerns with the upcoming fiber-to-my-home is where the fiber will be brought into my home. Previous posts had mentioned that it would be placed near my existing utilities; however, this really is not an feasible location. Is it possible to work with designers and installers on a more appropriate location?

    Chaz asked 2 days ago

    There is a standard placement planned, however the plan is to have the someone from the construction team meet with each homeowner to discuss the placement of equipment on the home.

    Is there an update on phase 1 progress or phase 2 planning?

    sssaint asked 8 days ago

    We have not yet released the next construction area. Please watch our website and social media pages for updates.

    In a recent mail piece sent to residents, it says to check here to determine if our current router will work. Where exactly is this information?

    Steve Boyack asked about 1 month ago

    We suggest that you reach out to the ISP you are interested in to see what they recommend. Some ISPs will have the option to rent a router from them. You can find links to the ISP websites here: https://www.engagelehi.org/lehifiber.

    So now that we are at the end of February Springs about to start and phase 1 should be wrapping up will phase 2 be revealed soon? So are things moving along like they are supposed and on schedule? Also I heard that hopefully they will start having multiple phases going at the same time so will phase 3 also start soon along side phase 2? Also I heard that hub 1 and 2 are still be connected is that almost done? Will they start on connecting the next hub soon? Where is hub 2 is in it the Northern part of Lehi on the other side of I-15 so that you can have teams working from top and bottom working towards the middle? Also just curious can you get the Gov. Aid for internet service without applying to the other Government aid programs?

    Jimbo asked about 1 month ago

    The first phase is still ongoing and the first customers are expected to be connected Spring 2023. Please watch on this page and the City's social media accounts for an announcement on the next phase. The backbone is still being constructed between Shelters 1 and 2. The two other shelters will be north and one on each side of I-15. As we get more crews on board, they will be able to work on the backbone and multiple areas. Please see the FCC website for information on qualifying for the Affordable Connectivity Program https://www.fcc.gov/acp.

    The city has stated multiple times that residents “care most about lower prices and faster speeds.” I guess I’m confused at how this pricing is lower or competitive. Right now Xfinity has Gig speed internet offered at my address for $60 a month ($50 if I use my own router and modem). That’s about $20 to $30 less than what the city will be offering… I understand that the city’s is fiber and xfinity is not fiber everywhere, and xfinity is a big pain to deal with, but that’s quite a big difference in price. Not sure where the competitive pricing comes in there…

    SGF asked about 1 month ago

    We conducted market research before setting pricing to make sure that our prices are competitive for our speeds and service. We cannot speak for other ISP's services, but the Lehi Fiber Network is entirely fiber all the way to the home and it will also have symmetrical speeds. The cost to build a fiber network from the ground up is extensive, but it is possible that once the bonds are repaid, the cost to users could decrease. The Lehi Fiber Network will also provide service to areas and customers who are unable to get service from other providers. For those who need financial assistance, the Affordable Connectivity Program is available (https://www.fcc.gov/acp).

    How long is the bond for and what is the interest rate on the bond? I know we mentioned we own the network and it’s possible rates could decrease after the bond is paid off..

    Michael B asked about 2 months ago

    Cities borrow funds for capital projects through the issuance of bonds in order to get the best possible rate for financing. Rather than borrowing from one lender, the City sells the bonds to multiple purchasers with maturities ranging from 1 year to 27 years. That allows the City to get the best possible rate on each bond. Every bond carries a unique interest rate based on its maturity. The calculated average for all bonds issued on the fiber bonds is 2.76%

    Do you have a map for the areas in phase 2

    Me asked about 1 month ago

    The next phase has not been published yet. Watch this page and the City social pages for an announcement.

    With Traverse Mountain not being covered due to easements will the build out cost be less than anticipated? If so, are our bonds callable bonds allowing us to payback some of the debt sooner than expected? Lastly, does Traverse Mountain not being covered change the financial viability of the project?

    Michael B asked about 2 months ago

    The original cost of the project does not include Traverse Mountain, so not including Traverse Mountain will not change the project cost nor will it change the financial viability of the project. Yes, the bonds are callable after 10 years.  If net revenues exceed expectations we could reserve those funds to call the bonds at that time or later.

    I know the prices are bundled prices with a piece going to the bond repayment and a piece going to the service provider. How much does Lehi receive per month to go towards bond repayment per subscriber? Also, does the amount Lehi receives vary based on the plan that's selected (250M vs 10G)?

    Michael B asked about 2 months ago

    The City will receive $25-$50 per month per residential subscriber to go towards the bond payment, depending on the selected speed.
