Where is Core Fiber expanding northwest of Prineville?
Core Fiber's latest expansion projects cover three areas northwest of central Prineville. Service is available at eligible addresses in the completed North Puckett coverage area, while construction continues in Ochoco West and Reserve at Ochoco Creek.
The maps below highlight the approximate coverage boundaries for each project. Because these are separate areas, availability will vary depending on your address.
Now available: North Puckett
Core Fiber has completed an expansion northwest of Prineville, extending its fiber network into additional residential and rural properties in the North Puckett area.
The completed coverage stretches through portions of the countryside northwest of town, generally between Highway 26 and the Ochoco West area. This expansion helps bring reliable high-speed internet to more households beyond Prineville's more densely developed neighborhoods.
If you live in this area, check availability at your address to find out whether your property is ready for service.
Coming soon: Ochoco West
Core Fiber is also expanding its network in Ochoco West, a residential community northwest of Prineville.
The project covers portions of the Ochoco West area, bringing fiber connectivity closer to more homes in this community. The shaded coverage map shows the approximate boundaries of the current construction project.
Construction is underway, with additional addresses expected to become eligible as the project progresses.
Coming soon: Reserve at Ochoco Creek
Another expansion is underway near Reserve at Ochoco Creek, bringing Core Fiber's network to additional residential properties northwest of central Prineville.
This project covers a separate residential area closer to the city's developed neighborhoods. It complements the larger network expansion taking place throughout northwest Prineville, helping extend high-speed fiber internet to more local households.
If you live in either of these upcoming coverage areas, you can check your address to see whether service is available yet. Construction schedules and individual address availability may vary.
