We are excited to share that KPUD’s Fast Fiber Internet will be available to Poulsbo’s Edgewater Community homeowners this Fall.
Kitsap Public Utility District (KPUD) provides an open access, fiber optic network throughout Kitsap County which delivers fiber internet to your home or business. Instead of being a typical retail internet service provider (ISP), KPUD teams up with approved ISPs on the KPUD network to offer fast and reliable internet service.
Connection Fee & Construction Costs
There is a one-time $500 cost (Connection Fee and Construction Costs) to connect fiber to your home which must be paid to KPUD prior to scheduling installation. Once connected, separate monthly service fees are paid directly to the retail internet service providers (ISP) you choose. Please visit the KPUD ISP Marketplace to find KPUD-approved ISPs, costs, and the services they offer.
Fiber Path & Installation Process
Fiber can be installed aerially or underground. When installing fiber to the home, KPUD typically follows the same path as the electric utility provider and existing utility easements. In the Edgewater Community, KPUD will attach fiber lines to power poles, resulting in an aerial connection.
The fiber path to the home is created from KPUD’s nearest connection point on the main fiber line. At the home, KPUD technicians install equipment that attaches to the exterior of the home and feeds through to the interior to connect an in-home power source. An interior outlet is required to be within 10 feet of the exterior housing unit.
Internet Services
Customers who connect to KPUD Fiber can choose from 100 Mbps or 1 Gig upload/download speeds. Some ISPs provide additional options such as phone service. Monthly service fees are paid directly to your chosen service provider. You can visit the Visit www.kpud.org and type in Shop for an ISP in the search function to learn more about the ISPs available on the KPUD network.
