Fiber is Coming to HWY 50!
A new era of connectivity is on the way
Project Area
Built for the Future of Rural Connectivity
United is excited to expand fiber internet to eligible homes north of Highway 50 between Dodge City and Cimarron. This project will bring next-generation connectivity to homes along the planned fiber route, supporting the growing needs of today’s connected households.
Because this project follows a specific fiber path, availability varies by address. The best way to find out if your home may qualify is to complete the sign-up form on this page.
PRE-ORDER WHILE CREWS ARE IN YOUR AREA!
Sign up while crews are in the area to unlock free construction, installation, and activation for eligible addresses — a savings of more than $2,200 on average! We will only build fiber drops to eligible addresses that sign up before construction is complete. Once crews leave your area, they’re gone—don’t miss this one-time opportunity!
