A future powered by fiber. Get ready for the next generation of Velocity internet!

Velocity has received a $10 million Kansas Capital Project grant to provide high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet access to approximately 4,300 rural Kansans. Current Velocity wireless customers in the project area shown below, will be upgraded to the FTTH network. Construction is underway near the Pony Meadows solar farm located between Rose Hill and Andover, with the initial customer connections anticipated to be in fall 2023.

Fiber is considered the “gold standard” of communications transmission, capable of meeting our customers' needs now and well into the future. Through the Velocity fiber-optic network, subscribers will have access to affordable pricing packages with no data caps, gimmicks or throttling back on speed. Homes and businesses will have access to multi-gigabit symmetrical (same upload and download speed) service delivered by our fiber division, Velocity.

Rest assured, we consider this project just the beginning. We know the need for high-speed internet options is dire throughout our rural communities, and we are actively seeking additional funding to expand the fiber network.

We understand that an announcement such as this will generate many questions. For more detailed information, we encourage you to read through our project FAQs.
