Why 100% Underground Fiber Means Fewer Outages

When it comes to internet reliability, not all networks are created equal. Many people in Saline are used to outages caused by storms, downed wires, or even a stray tree branch—but it doesn’t have to be that way. At Prime-One Net, we’ve chosen a different path: building a 100% underground fiber network. Here’s why that makes all the difference for your connection, no matter the weather.

Above-Ground vs. Underground: What’s the Difference?

Traditional internet providers often run cables on telephone poles or above-ground lines. While this setup is convenient for installation, it comes with real risks:
  • Storms and High Winds: Overhead wires are vulnerable to falling branches, ice buildup, and wind damage.
  • Accidents: Utility work, car accidents, or even animals can bring down lines and disrupt service.
  • Aging Infrastructure: Exposure to sun, rain, and temperature extremes wears cables out faster, leading to more frequent repairs and outages.

The Underground Advantage

Prime-One Net’s fiber network is installed entirely underground, using advanced horizontal directional drilling and plastic conduit to protect every connection. Here’s how this approach benefits you:

1. Weatherproof Reliability

Underground fiber is safe from storms, wind, and ice. Even during Michigan’s toughest weather, your connection keeps running while others go dark.

2. Accident-Proof Connectivity

No more worrying about a truck or falling tree taking your internet offline. Buried cables are out of harm’s way, keeping your service steady and strong.

3. Less Maintenance, Fewer Interruptions

Underground fiber is shielded from UV rays, moisture, and temperature swings, so it lasts longer and needs fewer repairs. That means less downtime for you and your family.

4. Minimal Yard Disruption

Prime-One Net uses horizontal directional drilling to install fiber in protective plastic conduit. This method minimizes disruption to your yard, garden, or driveway—no giant trenches or torn-up lawns.
