After weeks of data crunching, the team at UTOPIA Fiber has built more than 4,387 miles of fiberoptic infrastructure in 2022 throughout Utah, Idaho, and Montana. This impressive feat was accomplished facing fierce headwinds from supply chain constraints and labor market shortages. Additionally, UTOPIA Fiber inked the deal to provide residential services to its 20th Utah city, while also completing fiber buildouts in 14 cities, including UTOPIA’s 11 original cities. More than 20,000 Gigabit customers were added to the network (including nearly 1,000 businesses) and nearly 400 10-Gigabit customers (including nearly 300 businesses) added service. Notably, data centers, state agencies, and higher education institutions opted to take 100 Gigabit speeds—the fastest available in the United States.
