High-speed fiber-optic internet available in Palouse
The Port of Whitman County announced Thursday high-speed fiber-optic internet service will be available to some Palouse residents and businesses beginning today with more service available in coming weeks.
The Port and Ziply Fiber partnered to construct the open-access fiber-optic network, which will result in six internet service providers servicing Palouse.
The network enables high-speed internet, streaming TV and fiber-based phone services for the first time in the city, the same services that went live in Rosalia on July 30. The program is part of a five-city, public-private partnership between the Port and Ziply Fiber to build fiber internet in Whitman County. The remainder of the builds in the county — which include Garfield, Oakesdale and Tekoa — are under construction.
