      Great news! I live 1000′ from Atlantic road in Watts Bay Estates, will FTTH be possible for me with these new service locations? My entire neighborhood would most likely be excited about the possibility of having FTTH.

        Jake, 6 to 8 weeks more, FTTH services for residences on Watts Bay Estates will be a reality.

      A few years ago fiber optic cable was run down upshur neck road almost to virginia landing camp ground. Is there a chance that service will come to the residents at virginia landing?

        Mr. Marguglio:

        The ESVBA has built fiber to Quinby and up to Wachapreague but not down Upsure Neck yet. We are working on additional funding sources to expand our footprint including down to Upsure Neck. We will update our website as we progress this initiative.
