There is little new to report about RST and the high-speed fiber optic internet cable coming to Wake Forest.
Last week Dan Holt, who spearheaded efforts to start the project and is a member of the fiber task force, said, “We are currently setting up to deploy in Crenshaw Manor and Crenshaw Hall Plantation and will spend the next two to three weeks in these neighborhoods.
“If someone would like to officially register for service, they may go to www.wakeforestfiber.com and click the registration link. This supersedes the town’s survey and acts as an official request for service.”
