Hi, Ken. Good timing! We expect initial field work to begin on January 24. This work will focus mostly on prepping our system for the fiber construction – think tree trimming and pole replacements. After that is complete, we’ll begin constructing the Elevate network. Our best guess for bringing service into homes within the Reconnect 2 area is mid-summer 2023.

David Ferrier
Do you know an estimate on when elevate will be in my area. Cottonwood creek road Crawford. Thanks
Becky Mashburn
Hi David! Your address is located in our Reconnect 3 Grant area. Our current best guest for kicking off field work in that grant area is early 2024. We have experienced longer timelines that normal with our federal grants (Reconnect 3 is our second federal grant) so I don't yet have an anticipated service date for you. Keep an eye on our DMEA member newsletter though - we published our latest elevate update just this past November - https://www.dmea.com/sites/default/files/Newsletters/PowerLines_November_2022_singlepage.pdf.
11:10AM August 30, 2022
Lisa Padgett
We're excited to see that Elevate is coming to our area! Do you have an approximate schedule for Reconnect 3 Grant area construction (near Cottonwood Creek Road and 4300 Road, north east of Crawford)?
Sandee Roberts
Do you have an estimate of which month, and which year, construction will begin in Pea Green 128 Zone? I asked by email 8 days ago, and no answer. Also, on my Dashboard, Action, Review, Order won't open.
Sandee Roberts
Hi Becky, Thank you for the information. My husband saw some new poles putting up a while back. That's a good sign, even though good ol' red-tape hurdles arrived, it's not Elevate's fault. I showed your information to my relative, then she showed it to her relative. Both of them are on the Pea Green list. We will stick with you more, than just a bit longer. It will be worth it. My current ISP, makes it near impossible to get a connection long enough to accomplish anything. I used your Speed Test, (with my current ISP), Download was 9.1 Mbps! (ugh) Usually it's 12.(something), which isn't wonderful. I typed this comment on Notebook so I can paste it fast before my ISP cuts me off. Thank you again.

Hi Sandee! Initial field work has actually already begun in Pea Green, which is part of our Rural Utilities Service ReConnect Grant. But, as you've probably noticed, our timeline has shifted a few times over the past year. We initially hoped to begin field construction (replacing any necessary poles, hanging or burying fiber, installing equipment, etc.) this summer, but we recently pushed that to the fall. With this being a federal grant, we are encountering a few more red-tape hurdles than originally anticipated, and now that fall time frame is being pushed back too. We are now expecting boots-on-the-ground construction to kick off in early 2023. I apologize for the frustration of a continually changing timeline - we feel it too. I appreciate all the patience and understanding you and your neighbors have given us. Can you stick with us for just a bit longer? We're coming! Regarding your order, the reason you do not see any action to take on it when you go to your dashboard is that service is not yet available. When the network construction is complete, we will send out notices to everyone like you who has preregistered to let them know it's time to complete their order. That notice will go to the email you registered on this website. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I've be pre-registered since it became available, but alas, I'm in 363 Montrose north and we're still "gathering interest"... could the problem be, at least in part, because point to point wireless and Clear Networks fiber both, at least partly cover much of the (poorly defined) "zone". I'm sincerely considering calling Clear Networks since the point to point I use fails at least once a month. If I do get clear networks I'll be retracting my pre-registration with Elevate, because paying installation fees twice would not be very wise, and I may be leaving the Montrose area within 5 years.
Diane Sanders
An update would be helpful but I can't find anything on the website. I'll be moving into the same N 363 zone by the end of the year and would really like to know if Elevate will there by then. I have it at my home now and it's great. I hope it will easy to make a clean transition and not have to rely Spectrum or satellite.

Sara Dicamillo
Any word on S414?
Our Neighbors are loosing hope that it will reach out to our area. I have referred many people to Elevate because of having it at work and still do not have it in my own area. Please give us an update or time?
Thank you
Sara
Laura Sanders
Hi Sara,
There is hope on the horizon. Elevate has received a grant from the Rural Utilities Service to bring fiber to your area, including S414. You can find more details on the grant and construction here: https://elevateinternet.com/pea-green-one-step-closer-high-speed-internet.
4:36PM January 26, 2022
Chris Peterson
How much longer are we working to gain support for montrose s515? Especially when the fiber line runs right along hwy 550
Rachael Leon
Good news Chris! M515 is included in an awarded grant zone. Construction will begin soon and you should be able to hook up to our network by the end of the year!
10:36AM November 23, 2021
Sandee Roberts
I am in the Pea Green zone also. I lose my internet connection so often every day, it's difficult to accomplish anything. I agree with James LaPonsie, even a rough estimate would be appreciated.
Timothy Crone
It's really hard as well when you have a home schooler who cant even complete their work because of the lack of GOOD INTERNET! I was told Spring 2022 --- I have yet to see any trucks or building or anything going on in Pea Green 128 area.
12:03PM April 05, 2022

You are being built Sandee! Keep an eye on your inbox and our social feed for when we release contracts.

James LaPonsie
Hello, exciting to see the grant for the Pea Green zone was approved. Was wondering if you have any kind of estimated time frame for construction to begin? Even a rough estimate would be appreciated. Thank you.
Rachael DeRossi
Hi Tamera- the northern part of Delta S 414 falls in the Reconnect grant zone. We don't have any more details at this time. Please check back in a couple months as we make progress on this zone.
Becky Mashburn
Hi Heather! Sorry for the glitch. If you keep tabs on our social media channels you'll have the most up to date information on any promotions or discounts. You can follow us on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ElevateInternet. There is not a set schedule for programs like free installs. Thanks!
7:11PM August 07, 2021
Sandee Roberts
What does it require to qualify for a Grant? Pea Green 128 has 292 more people compared to a current Granted zone, and Pea Green 128 has 352 more people than another current Granted zone.
Sandee Roberts
Hi Becky, Yes, I saw the post with a picture of the Pea Green Store, and read about. I told a relative on the Pea Green 128 Zone, she is very excited too. We realize it will take a lot of steps, but our step is great. Thank you so much!
2:29PM August 18, 2021
Becky Mashburn
Hi Sandee. Have you heard he good news?! - https://www.dmea.com/dmea-awarded-105-million-usda-broadband-grants Our grant for Pea Green 128 was successful. There are still A LOT of steps to complete before we can provide service to your home, but one of the biggest hurdles has been cleared!
8:58AM August 04, 2021
Chris Peterson
Any update on montrose s515? Fiber lines are run along the hwy but no update on install for anyone in rivers edge. I asked for a price to run it from the hwy to my house, but noone has reached out. Seems like since the fiber line is there it would be pretty easy to accomodate installs.
I did also reach out to region 10 because someone said it was their line, they referred me back to elevate because it is elevates line. Region 10 didnt know why we could use that line for installs Please update
Chris Peterson
Becky
Jonathan reached out a month ago about doing a utility drop for Elevate for us along highway 550. I have left several messages but have had no contact returned
1:00PM August 19, 2021
Chris Peterson
Becky
Thanks, someone reached out last night. We spoke about doing a utility drop since we are close enough to the line with just the install fee. Now just waiting for that to happen. Thanks again.
2:18PM August 18, 2021
Becky Mashburn
Hi Chris. Let me touch base with our construction manager. He may have had trouble reaching you. I know we chatted about him connecting with you awhile back. Stay tuned.
12:42PM August 03, 2021
Sean Hale
Any news for Pea green 128? Been waiting almost 5 years. Extremely sick of 3Mbps from centurylink, internet is used a lot in our house and is very irritating with the speed we have.
Keith Nichols
You used to have a chart that showed for each zone the number of people required to show interest that was your goal as well as the number currently signed up or at least the percentage of your goal that have shown interest. All I find now is a lit showing a statement that you're currently generating interest.
Did you do away with the more specific chart or can I just not find it?
Thanks.
Also, very informative meeting today, thanks.
Christine Hammack
I saw Elevate trucks out with the guys replacing the poles along Falcon Rd east of Hwy 50, are they installing fiber along the road too? If so how will we know when we can get service?
Sandee Roberts
Excuse me, I may have commented in the wrong place yesterday ... Is there good news regarding the grant for Pea Green 128 yet? It took me about ten consecutive attempts to send this comment. I lose my connection often, and for a long time, with my current ISP.
Sandee Roberts
Okay, thank you for answering, Becky.
4:43PM June 14, 2021
Becky Mashburn
Hi Sandee! I don't have news yet. We have received promising reports on a federal grant, but no official news. Keep those fingers crossed!

Leslie Garlinghouse
Just wondering why all of the zones say gathering community interest means And wondering when Olathe 148 will have Internet
Becky Mashburn
Hi Leslie, This is a recent change to our construction process. Unfortunately, the remaining zones were not gathering enough interest to meet our preregistration requirements, so we shifted our strategy. We are no longer collecting preregistrations as part of a construction goal. Now, the best way to build our network within the remaining areas is by using grant funds from state and federal programs. We still encourage people to submit their interest because that information helps us with our grant applications. Robert is correct, a portion of Olathe 148 was approved to received grant funding. It is now listed as North Mesa on our zone map. Unfortunately, I believe your home is just outside of the approved area. I'm so sorry!
12:28PM June 06, 2021

Our Zone has a grant approved and they are doing construction on it now, hoping for late summer installs!!
3:37PM May 24, 2021

3:26PM May 18, 2021
Stacey White
Hi Becky. Do we have an update on Olathe 148? I see them hanging wire in my subdivision and they came in an did a locate on my front yard? Would like to know! Thanks!!
Becky Mashburn
Hi, Stacey. I have good news for you. Your neighborhood is part of an expanded portion of our North Mesa Zone. We haven't had the chance to add in these additional areas yet into the backend, which is why it looks like you are still in Olathe 148. We expect to build this zone, which is HUGE, over the course of the summer and have service to your home available by early fall!
