All West Fiber recently announced the expansion of its multi-gig fiber broadband network, bringing high-speed internet access to more than 3,700 homes and businesses in the previously underserved Rawlins, Wyoming community. This investment is focused on bridging the digital divide and delivering future-ready connectivity typically found in larger metropolitan cities.

To mark the Rawlins launch, a groundbreaking event was held Wednesday, March 25, bringing together community leaders and All West representatives to celebrate the project and its impact on the community.

Construction will deliver a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network capable of multi-gig speeds up to 8 Gigabits per second. Upon completion, the All West footprint is expected to provide service to most homes and businesses in Rawlins, with more than 3,7000 serviceable passings.

Construction began in March 2026, with the earliest service-ready passings expected in May. As the build progresses, additional areas will be made serviceable in phases.

“All West’s expansion of fiber broadband infrastructure into Rawlins represents a critical investment in the community’s long-term economic growth, quality of life and future readiness,” said Dirk Staton, VP of engineering and construction at All West Fiber. “High-speed fiber connectivity is no longer a luxury; it is essential infrastructure that enables residents and businesses to fully participate in the modern digital economy.”

This expansion addresses the need for faster speeds, improved reliability and more choice in a market where many residents have faced limited options and outdated infrastructure. By introducing All West’s fiber network, the company will help close connectivity gaps and better support the digital needs of the community.

“It’s a great thing to have fiber in the city”

Rawlins Council Member Steve Sanger, Ward 3, said he’s looking forward to the impact All West Fiber’s advanced network will have on the community.

“It’s a great thing to have fiber in the city for our homes and businesses,” Sanger said. “It’ll be a huge benefit to have access to faster speeds that we don’t have today. We see the impact of limited connectivity every day, so having All West Fiber come into the community will be amazing.”

The project is fully funded by All West as part of its ongoing commitment to expanding next-generation connectivity across the Mountain West. All West believes that everyone should have access to a high-quality internet connection at an affordable price and is stepping in to deliver that option where it has been limited.

Residents and businesses will be notified as service becomes available in their areas.
