Tacoma Power, a division of the City’s municipally-owned Tacoma Public Utilities, took a calculated risk in 1997 that has benefited the residents, businesses and development of the City of Tacoma and Pierce County ever since.
In keeping with its dedication to its customers, Tacoma Power made a $100 million investment in installing 700 miles of fiber optic cable within every single right of way in Tacoma.
Fiber optics carry digital information at the speed of light over extremely long distances.
Tacoma now boasts the best of telecommunications systems to choose from, and our public investment has also attracted competition. With hundreds of millions of dollars in private investments in Tacoma by Qwest and AT&T, customers have more options than ever. Competition helps keep rates down and can lead to innovative services.
Best of all, Tacoma residents have lightening fast, reliable access to the Internet, data transport, cable television and wireless connections, which unites our customers with the local community and the world, all in an instant.
