West Point residents will gain access to fiber optic internet service replacing the aging copper network, after the city council approved Kinetic's infrastructure plan Monday. The utility project coordinator said fiber optics offer dramatically faster speeds — up to 2 gigabits per second symmetrically for $50–70 monthly versus current copper's 200 megabit download speeds — while proving more durable as copper corrodes over time. Kinetic will install cables 18–48 inches below grade depending on location to minimize damage risks to existing utilities and roads.
