📢 Whispering Hills Community Update: Fibre Internet Installation
We’re pleased to share that Xplore will be coming into the Summer Village of Whispering Hills in the near future to begin work on bringing fibre internet to our community.
As part of a federal grant program, the project currently includes only a portion of the Summer Village. At this stage, fibre will be installed along Allen Drive and David Drive.
Some homes in these areas will be eligible to have the line brought directly to their property, while others will only see it installed up to the street. These decisions were not made by the Summer Village — they are entirely determined through the federal program and the service provider.
It’s important to note:
- There is no cost to the Summer Village for this installation.
- We were not given input on which properties would be included in this first phase.
- We did inquire about the cost to expand the installation to the entire village, but the estimate came back at over $1 million.
- We’ve been advised that this initial installation is a first step, and there may be opportunities in the future to expand service to additional properties as more funding and options become available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work with the federal program and Xplore to support better connectivity for our community.
