The SHOAL CREEK Zone is NOW OPEN!

We know you’re all excited to get Wave Rural Connect fiber internet to your homes! Rest assured that our crews are working hard to connect every member of Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative Corporation (AVECC) to high-speed fiber internet, but fiber builds take time.

There are seven steps to building a 100% fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network: make ready engineering, make ready construction, fiber construction, splicing, home or business installation , drop splicing, and service drop construction. Each of these seven steps need to be completed for every phase of construction which in total takes around a year to complete.

While our fiber build takes some time, we appreciate your patience and understanding! Fiber internet from Wave Rural Connect will be well worth the wait with capabilities to stream your favorite shows, utilize telemedicine, participate in online education, game with no lagging, and more! The possibilities with fiber are endless!
