Drops (when fiber is run from the road to customers' homes) have begun. This phase of the construction process brings fiber to the outside of a customer's home. An on-site installation is set up for a later time, when the fiber connection is brought inside the home to connect phones and computers.

Construction on Socket’s rural fiber network continues, including the transport route (the main fiber connection) between the Millersburg and Fulton huts. Several dozen site surveys have been conducted at homes in the northwest part of the fiber coverage area. This maps out the construction for the crews to bring the fiber from the road in to the individual houses.
