Internet

In June 2002, KBPW launched it’s Internet Service to Kennett residents and businesses in order to meet a need in the community. In 2010 the Board of Public works decided to launch fiber to the home.

Cities and towns across the US are viewing access to advanced telecommunications as pivotal to prosperity. Cities with high speed internet can attract new employers and give existing businesses a reason to stay. KBPW offers fiber optic internet service to businesses and residential customers throughout the city. Features include unlimited access, a personal webpage, and e-mails with free virus and spam filtering.

The internet personnel are responsible for operation and maintenance of the systems, on site installation of fiber to the home, wireless service, and providing local technical support.

Internet is another example of how the local ownership of the utility company provides lower cost rates, saving consumers money and at the same times providing jobs here in Kennett. The addition of the Internet was a step toward providing additional skilled job opportunities here in Kennett.

KBPW Internet Service

WHY

KBPW brought high speed internet to the area in 2003. Seeing a need in the area for a high speed broadband internet connection, the Kennett Board of Public Works decided to enter into the internet business to provide our customers with a new type of utility. Since that time KBPW has continued to expand its network to keep up with growth adding additional capacity before it was needed. In order to keep up with future expansion KBPW has completed a redundant fiber optic ring around the city.

Fiber to the Home

KBPW’s Information Technology department is making fiber internet service available to the home – your home! Fiber Optics is a technology that uses glass threads to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which are capable of transmitting messages into light waves.

Benefits of Fiber

Fiber has the following advantages over existing copper lines.

Speed – Fiber optic internet is much faster than traditional cable connections.

Bandwidth – Fiber has a large carrying capacity for faster data transmission.

Distance  Fiber-can carry a strong signal over a wide distance.

Reliability – Fiber optic cables are durable and resistant to weather interference, unlike copper-based connections.

Durability – Fiber is less susceptible to degradation and breakage.

Symmetric speed-Fiber optic internet offers symmetrical speeds, meaning upload and download speeds are equally fast.
 
Security-Fiber optic communication is more secure than other methods because it sends data as pulses of light that are harder for hackers to intercept. 
 
Latency-Fiber optic cables have low latency, which reduces delays and improves the experience for users, especially for real-time applications like online gaming and video streaming. 

Local Operation- When you call for support you talk to a local person.

Practically no limit on capacity. After installation is complete only the electronics need to be upgraded. The fiber will be a sufficient carrier long into the future.

A fiber network can generate new ways to work. Internet based business from home, telecommuting from home, video conferencing from location to location.

How can a fiber network benefit your family? Fiber optics makes streaming videos and online gaming fast, much faster than through a wireless service or any other method of delivery. 

A fiber network can generate new ways to work such as telecommuting from home, video conferencing from location to location, and working an internet based business from home.

The fiber optic backbone also has advantages for KBPW. It is being used to monitor and control various operations carried out at remote locations for which KBPW is responsible.

Future uses such as remote meter reading are also being planned with the fiber to the home system.

If fiber is now available in your neighborhood and you want to jump on the internet at the “speed of light.” 
Please contact our office at 888-5366 or 888-9088 and speak to a local customer service representative.
