Sullivan County Rolls Out $30M Plan to Connect Thousands of Homes to High-Speed Internet

High-speed internet may soon be coming to your home or small business if you live in Sullivan County.

On Thursday, Sullivan County kicked off a $30 million broadband project under New York State’s ConnectALL program to bring high-speed internet to homes and businesses. For decades, the county’s mountainous terrain in the Catskills has hindered broadband expansion. Representatives from Archtop Fiber, the project’s internet service provider, said that they hope to begin construction by August 1 and complete the project by the end of 2026.
