We're planning Multi-Gigabit Fiber Internet for El Dorado Hills

Why EDH Fiber?

Better technology. Competitive price. Local service.

Cable and DSL internet are outdated -- limping along but all too common simply because the infrastructure exists, and infrastructure is costly to build.

↕️

Symmetric Multi-Gigabit Speeds

Fiber is fast in both directions — 2 Gbps download and upload, with bursts to 10 Gbps. Cable download speeds are limited at 1.2 Gbps (1.6× slower), and upload speeds are extremely limited: 35 Mbps is just 0.035 Gbps — 57× slower. That slow upload is why cloud backups take overnight, uploading a 4K video takes long enough to make coffee, and a house full of people quickly runs out of headroom. [1]

⏱️

Lower Latency

Fiber typically measures 6–12ms round-trip latency vs. 15–30ms for cable. For competitive gaming the difference is tangible — faster response times, less rubberbanding. For cloud gaming, every millisecond of latency translates directly to input lag. And for everyone else, lower latency means a snappier, more responsive connection across the board. [2]

🏷️

Competitive Pricing

Our goal is monthly rates well below what residents currently pay the major ISPs, for service that's significantly better. No promotional-rate surprises.

📍

Local Support

We live here. When you have a problem, you'll talk to someone local — not a distant call center.

Adds Market Value to Your Home

Fiber is an asset. A consumer survey by RVA Market Research for the Fiber Broadband Association found that FTTH connectivity adds an average of 4.9% to a home's value. For a $750,000 El Dorado Hills home, that's roughly $37,000 in added resale value — on top of the monthly savings from lower rates.[3]

Sign up

Tell us you're interested

No commitment, no money — just your name and address so we can map demand across El Dorado Hills.

The form takes about 2 minutes and asks for:

  • Your name and street address (to map demand by neighborhood)
  • Your current ISP and roughly what you pay
  • Whether you'd switch if fiber were available at a fair price

Where things stand

This is a long-term project in early planning

EDH Fiber is in early planning. There is no timeline — bringing fiber infrastructure to a community like El Dorado Hills is a multi-year undertaking, and we're being deliberate about getting it right.

If you have relevant expertise — telecom engineering, infrastructure finance, legal, or local government — or if you're interested in discussing investment, we'd like to hear from you.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really "fiber to the home"?
That's the goal. The exact architecture will depend on engineering surveys and cost analysis.
What does "expressing interest" commit me to?
Nothing. Your interest helps us gauge neighborhood demand, which will help us design the network and determine if the project is viable.
Will this actually happen? How long will it take?
This is early-stage. Projects like this can take 3–5 years from organizing to first connections. Success depends on demonstrated demand, funding, and local support. The more people who sign up, the stronger our case.
How much will it cost?
That will be determined based on demand and build costs. Our goal is monthly rates below what residents currently pay the major ISPs, for service that will be significantly better than existing cable internet.
I rent — can I join?
Yes! Renters can express interest. Building infrastructure in rental properties involves working with landlords, and we'll develop a strategy for that as we get further along. Your interest still matters for mapping demand.
Can I invest in EDH Fiber?
We're actively exploring funding options. If you're interested in learning more, reach out to hello@edhfiber.org — we'd love to talk.
