New jobs will begin at Estate Frydenhoj in St. Thomas on June 26 and at Estate Anna’s Hope in St. Croix on June 29. Liberty VI’s work calendar continues in July with projects kicking off at Estate Sion Hill and at Peters Rest in St. Croix on July 1 and July 15 respectively, and Estate Nadir in St. Thomas on July 1. An ongoing job in Estate Mon-Bijou North and South in St. Croix is expected to conclude on July 15.

“We continue moving forward with our Fiber to the Home construction projects so more locations in the territory can have access to our fiber fast internet,” said Catherine Kling, general manager of Liberty VI. “More consumers across the territory will be able to enjoy the service and take advantage of our unprecedented rate plan offer for this fiber product, which has no equal in this market.”

The work at Estate Nadir, Estate Mon-Bijou North & South, Estate, Sion Hill and Peters Rest includes the placement and installation of aerial fiber optic cables on utility poles. The jobs at Estate Frydenhoj and Estate Anna’s Hope entail placing aerial fiber optic cables and terminals on utility poles.

Traffic controls and safety equipment were placed prior to the start of construction. Once completed, 1,933 serviceable homes overall will have access to Liberty’s Fiber to the Home (FTTH) broadband service. Construction will take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Work times may change depending on the work to be performed.

The job are being performed with minimal traffic impact. However, residents and drivers within the area should expect delays due to lane and partial road closures and must exercise caution when traveling on the narrow roadways.

Liberty VI will be providing updates on its website https://www.libertyvi.com/news on when and where the company will be working around the territory so people can plan their daily commutes ahead of time.

Recently, Liberty launched an unprecedented rate plan offer for this fiber product, with 1Gig of internet speed for $50 per month for 24 months. This limited-time promotion includes free installation and is backed by Liberty’s 30-day money-back guarantee.

The offer is the direct result of Liberty’s fiber construction project which is already bringing True Fiber internet connectivity to consumers throughout the USVI. With over 21,000 serviceable locations, many communities in St. Thomas and St. Croix are ready to enjoy the service.
