Valley FiberCom Announces Flandreau, Colman, & Egan Town Fiber Projects

Valley Communications Inc., doing business as Valley FiberCom, has formally announced plans to bring ultra high -speed fiber-based Internet access and telephone service to homes and businesses within the towns of Flandreau, Colman, and Egan.

Over the last several years, Valley FiberCom has established a fiber footprint in the rural areas of Flandreau, Colman, and E gan. To complete this project, Valley FiberCom has made use of $15 million in Federal USDA Rural Development Grants and $9.5 million in state grants to provide FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) services to the underserved areas of Moody, Kingsbury, Brookings, and some eastern parts of Beadle counties. With the addition of the above mentioned towns, this will cap off a 5 year investment by Valley FiberCom of over $23 million

The FTTH placed by Valley FiberCom is one of the most sought-after broadband technologies in the country. “What once was used to connect continents together for communications, we now connect directly to your homes and businesses. This Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network increases home values and at the same time futureproofs your communications requirements.” added Valley FiberCom CEO/GM Jeff Symens.

Fiber optic cable has the ability to carry large amounts of data and allows Valley FiberCom to stay on the cutting edge as technology evolves. Optical fiber is faster than DSL, cable, and wireless Internet. Fiber that is installed all t he way to your home eliminates data bottlenecks because it is a dedicated connection that is not shared with your neighbors. Valley FiberCom currently offers several packages with speeds up to a Gigabit

Valley FiberCom’s local office in Flandreau, located at 120 E Pipestone Ave, opened in 2021. “Valley FiberCom customers will continue to receive access to local customer service and timely service calls,” said Symens.

“If all goes according to plan, Valley FiberCom hopes to begin fiber plant construction as soon as the weather permits, and we expect to connect customers as soon as the fiber routes are in place and tested,” said Symens.

Symens also noted that customers currently served by other providers in the Flandreau, Colman, and Egan areas may want to exercise caution in taking advantage of special pricing or contracts which may prevent immediate service connections when Valley FiberCom is read y to provide service. “We would hate for someone to miss out on the launch of our new services because they are tied to a previous provider’s agreement with inflated rates and hefty cancellation penalties.”

Symens also added, “We look forward to becoming a partner in Flandreau, Colman, and Egan communities that is committed to providing reliable and excellent services at an affordable price.”
