Silver Star Communications is announcing the end of its 2020 construction season for the CARES Act funded Fiberhood as awarded by the Idaho Department of Commerce to the City of Driggs back in August.
Using its own employees and several construction companies from other states, Silver Star has put over 150,000 feet of conduit and fiber into the ground over the past few months. The fiber main cable now passes 690 locations, 368 of which previously had speeds under 25 MB/3 MB. âAs a result of this project, the citizens and businesses of Driggs now have access to world-class internet speeds. This has been a hard year for our community, but brighter days are ahead including the opportunities that come with fiber-optic internet,â said Driggs Mayor Hyrum Johnson.
