What do you get with fiber?
If we reach the goal of 750 commitments, Etex can bring fiber into White Oak. Here are some of the many benefits of fiber.
More Consistent
Because fiber is capable of near lightspeed transmissions, it doesn’t have the same limitations as the signals moving through copper wiring. The bandwidth you sign up for is the bandwidth you get.
More Resilient
Fiber is unaffected by electromagnetic interference that usually causes problems with copper cable. It is also so resistant to temperature changes that fiber cable is used under the Atlantic Ocean to connect the U.S. with Europe.
More Secure
Any attempts to tamper with fiber lines will likely result in damages that we monitor for, making it nearly impossible for anyone to tap into your communications through the fiber line.
Safer
Because fiber Internet uses glass instead of copper, it is more easily cooled, which reduces both the risk of fires and the energy toll that copper cooling takes on the environment.
Added Property Value
In addition to the added speed and reliability, getting fiber connectivity can add a significant boost to your property value. Homes have seen up to a 3.1% increase in value, which equates to over $5,000 for the typical home. Additionally, fiber installations have proven to open more opportunities for business development within the community.
Scalable
Fiber optics provide the cutting edge in Internet technology for today and the foreseeable future. If you can imagine Internet speeds advancing to 1000 times faster than your copper cable can handle today, you can be sure that the same fiber connection that Etex puts in the ground today will still be more than capable decades later.
You don’t have to wait for the future. Help bring Etex fiber into White Oak.

Fiber Internet is the fastest Internet available today! Not only is it fast, but it is future proof also. Today, Etex offers speeds up to 150 Mbps but fiber can support unlimited speeds. Etex plans to launch a Gigabit Internet package in the very near future!
Etex estimates that each home connection to our fiber costs about $3,000. With a 24-month contract along with one of our minimum Internet packages, you will not have to pay any of this cost. However, if you choose not to sign a contract, you will be responsible for the construction and installation fees.
If Etex meets the commitment goal in White Oak, we will start construction in September of 2018. Depending on where your home is along the main fiber route, your installation time could vary. Our goal will be to put install orders in on all committed customers in the beginning of the project so as our teams pass your home they can complete the install in a timely fashion. Etex works our orders in the order we receive them so by pre-committing, your order will take priority over those who choose not to.
- 30Mbps Unlimited Internet $59.95 (24-month contract)
- 50Mbps Unlimited Internet $74.95 (24-month contract)
- 150Mbps Unlimited Internet $99.95 (24-month contract)
