Falmouth Business Main Street Fiber
OpenCape Brings Reliable, Affordable Internet to the Main Street Business Communities of Falmouth & Woods Hole
In 2019, the Falmouth EDIC and the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce approached OpenCape on behalf of Falmouth Main Street merchants and businesses who were having consistent difficulties related to unstable internet connectivity that were affecting their ability to effectively operate. OpenCape responded with a proposal for the Falmouth Business Main Streets Fiber, so called because it would connect businesses to a shared Gigabit of Internet. The initial project was designed for just the downtown Falmouth area, but eventually expanded into Woods Hole, Palmer Avenue, Depot Avenue, Gifford Street and other surrounding areas. OpenCape reports that they are continually working to expand the service areas within Falmouth.
Free Connection Program
Fifty fortunate businesses were able to take advantage of the “free connection program”; $50,000 in funding used solely for the free installation/connection of the OpenCape fiber-optic internet service. This saved each business owner anywhere between $600 - $1,700 on the installation charges. Though this program funding has been exhausted, OpenCape remains a very cost-effective internet service provider. In March 2022 OpenCape announced that they reduced their service rate to a low $80 per month.
The Falmouth EDIC and OpenCape are delighted with the success of the Falmouth Business Main Streets Fiber, bringing progressive, stable, reliable and affordable internet connectivity to the Falmouth area businesses.
