Basic Information
LeverettNet is a Fiber-optic-To-The-Home (FTTH) broadband network owned by the Town of Leverett. LeverettNet is operated under the telecom authority of the Leverett Municipal Light Plant (LMLP), which contracts with third parties for Network Operator, Internet Services Provider (ISP), and maintenance functions.
LeverettNet provides symmetrical (equal upload and download) 1-gigabyte per second (1Gbps) active ethernet (dedicated fiber links) connectivity between each subscriber location and the Internet point of presence. LeverettNet connects from the point of presence to the Internet Service Provider at 2Gbps.
Subscribers pay a monthly ISP fee, plus a LMLP charge for Network Operator and maintenance costs.
Protect your fiber connection
In order to avoid expensive repairs to the fiber-optic cable that brings LeverettNet telephone and Internet services to each premise, remember it is the property owner’s responsibility to avoid damage to the fiber and the Optical Network Terminal (ONT). The Leverett Municipal Light Plant (LMLP), in accordance with general utility company practice, holds homeowners responsible for costs to repair fiber broken or damaged by homeowner or homeowner-contracted activities, including digging, moving, tampering with, or otherwise interfering with the fiber cable or ONT. See the FAQ file or more information about locating the cable.
