KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Knoxville Utilities Board, better known as KUB, has finished the first half of its years-long KUB Fiber initiative.
It means that 84,000 residential and business customers in East Tennessee have access to internet service through KUB.
“The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that high-speed internet was no longer a luxury, but a necessity for individuals and communities to thrive,” KUB President and CEO Gabriel J. Bolas II said. “We’re delivering on our promise to provide the fastest internet possible with a full range of internet products and services all backed by local customer support.”
The next phase of the project is slated for 2026. That rollout will mark the third and final step in KUB Fiber’s rollout.
“For some of our customers, this is the first time they have had a wired connection,” Bolas said. “Remote work and internet-reliant schoolwork is now something these households can complete without worrying about their connectivity.”
In 2025, KUB Fiber will be available to customers in Seymour, Strawberry Plains, Holston Hills and other parts of Knox County.
