Testimonial

The team at Fiber Fast Homes has made my working from home experience very pleasant. When we got into our new home, the lines had been cut by another homeowner down the street. The team went above and beyond to get the lines back up and working. During that time, the CEO went out and purchased us a hotspot to make sure my working from home would not be interrupted. I will recommend this company to anyone! Outstanding service! Thank you!

Fiber Fast Homes Homeowner

The team at Fiber Fast Homes has been great to work with. They’re responsive, proactive, and nimble. We had to adjust the way they installed on one site and they were able to work around the challenges in a way that really worked for us. Now that we have homeowners who have moved into some of our communities, we’re hearing nothing but positive feedback about the way they’re handling their customer service needs.
