JR Smith, goBEC fiber network manager, said the Washburn area is now complet- ed, and the Seligman area will begin signing up new customers by Oct. 1. With goBEC finishing up phase 5 of the project, the number of subscribers is growing rapidly — 1,700 and counting. Washburn is being actively served, but according to Smith, there are still more than 100 lines being installed to homes. “It was rough terrain, and we knew that, but we got it done,” Smith said. “After finishing the Seligman main line, the crew has to test each individual fiber line to verify that the fibers aren’t broken or damaged, and that takes some time.” According to Smith, every Treyson Roller, 3, of Purdy, rides the bucking spider Saturday at the Wheaton BBQ.
