A Note of Thanks

Thank You, Pottsboro.

On April 6, 2026, the Pottsboro City Council voted unanimously to welcome NovaLink Fiber as the city’s first fiber-to-the-premises provider. That vote didn’t happen in a vacuum — it took months of conversations, good-faith negotiations, and a shared belief that Pottsboro residents and businesses deserve big-city-quality internet service without having to live in a big city.

Your Questions, Answered

Pottsboro Construction FAQ

When will construction reach my street?

Construction follows a rolling schedule that prioritizes neighborhoods with the most reservations and the most efficient build sequence. Crews are now in the ground — we’ll update this page and email reservation holders as the build moves through Pottsboro. The fastest way to get your neighborhood prioritized is to reserve now and encourage neighbors to do the same.

How will I know when service is available at my address?

If you’ve reserved your spot, we’ll email you the moment your address becomes serviceable. You can also re-check availability anytime using the address checker at the top of this page — once construction passes your home, the system will show that you’re eligible to connect.

What does construction look like? Will they dig up my yard?

Most of our construction follows existing utility paths along streets and easements — the same routes your current power and phone lines use. For the drop from the street to your house, we use either an underground bore (minimal disturbance, no trenching) or an aerial drop if your utilities are on poles. Any ground work is restored to original condition.

Before any digging happens, call locates are placed through Texas 811 to mark all other utilities — this is non-negotiable and protects everyone.

How long does installation take once you reach my address?

Typical residential installation is 2–4 hours from the technician arriving to your service going live. We schedule appointments in specific windows — not “sometime between 8am and 5pm” like the big carriers. And if we miss our install window by more than 5 days from your scheduled date, you get a $50 credit automatically.

What does it cost?

Pricing starts at $49.99/month for 100 Mbps and goes up to $99.99/month for 2 Gig. Our most popular plan — 1 Gig Supernova — is $79.99/month. All plans include unlimited data, free installation, and no contracts. Prices are locked for 3 years when you sign up. No hidden fees, no autopay requirements, no promotional bait-and-switch.

What if I already have another internet provider?

No problem. Most customers keep their existing service until our install is complete, then cancel the old one. We recommend scheduling your NovaLink install first, testing the new connection for a day or two, and then calling your old provider to cancel. If you’re locked into a contract with another provider, we’re happy to help you figure out the best timing — some customers find the monthly savings cover any early termination fee.

Is there a waiting list or priority?

Reservations are tracked in the order they’re placed, and neighborhoods with higher reservation density get built first. There’s no cost to reserve — it just tells us where to focus the construction crews. If you’re serious about getting fiber soon, reserve now and tell your neighbors.

Will my street get fiber first if more neighbors sign up?

Yes. Reservation density is one of the main factors we use to sequence construction. A street with 10 reservations will be built before a street with 2, all else being equal. Talk to your neighbors — the more of you that reserve, the faster we’ll get to you.

Are you hiring locally for the install crew?

Our goal is to build a local-first operation — local technicians, local support, local decision-making. As we grow in Pottsboro and surrounding markets, we’ll be adding local positions for installation, support, and field technicians. If you’re interested in working with us, get in touch with Kylar — contact info is at the bottom of this page.

What happens if construction gets delayed?

We’ll be honest with you. Construction timelines can shift because of weather, permit processing, or contractor scheduling — all things outside our direct control. If there’s a meaningful delay, we’ll update this page and email reservation holders directly. We won’t hide bad news behind a phone tree.
