The holiday season is officially upon us! Here at UTOPIA Fiber, we won’t be just sitting inside drinking hot cocoa and watching Hallmark movies this December. Okay, maybe just one or two holiday movies– but we’re also working super hard to connect more areas to our open-access fiber network! And buckle up, because we have a lot of footprints being released this upcoming month. Be sure to follow our social media channels to be the first to hear about our footprint releases. Keep reading to see what we got up to this November.
