Internet is another example of how the local ownership of the utility company provides lower cost rates, saving consumers money and at the same times providing jobs here in Kennett. The addition of the Internet was a step toward providing additional skilled job opportunities here in Kennett.
WHY
CLGW brought high speed internet to the area in 2003. Seeing a need in the area for a high speed broadband internet connection, the Kennett Board of Public Works decided to enter into the internet business to provide our customers with a new type of utility. Since that time CLGW has continued to expand its network to keep up with growth adding additional capacity before it was needed. In order to keep up with future expansion CLGW has completed a redundant fiber optic ring around the city.

CLGW's Information Technology department is making fiber internet service available to the home – your home! Fiber Optics is a technology that uses glass threads to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which are capable of transmitting messages into light waves.
Fiber has the following advantages over existing copper lines.
How can a fiber network benefit your family? Fiber optics makes streaming videos and online gaming fast, much faster than through a wireless service or any other method of delivery. A fiber network can generate new ways to work such as telecommuting from home, video conferencing from location to location, and working an internet based business from home. The fiber optic backbone also has advantages for CLGW. It is being used to monitor and control various operations carried out at remote locations for which CLGW is responsible. Future uses such as remote meter reading are also being planned with the fiber to the home system.
If fiber is now available in your neighborhood and you want to jump on the internet at the "speed of light", please contact our office at 888-5366 or 888-9088 and speak to a local customer service representative.
