Progress Updates
Fiber for all of Teton Valley
As we gear up for the 2026 build season, we are excited to provide you with your first monthly update on the 2026 Teton Valley fiber build project!
Over the past several weeks, we’ve been carefully assembling a dedicated internal project management team whose sole focus will be on Teton Valley. While we’re not quite ready to introduce all of them by name, you’ll meet them in next month’s update. They are already hard at work coordinating construction efforts, schedules, and customer transitions to ensure the project moves smoothly at full speed.
Assembling the Team
One of our biggest goals for 2026 is switching over our 2997 DSL customers to fiber. This upgrade will dramatically improve speeds, stability, and their overall internet experience. We can’t wait for you to see and feel the difference that fiber makes.
Beyond upgrading our customers, Silver Start is committed to the expansion of our fiber network throughout every location in Teton Valley in 2026. If any team can accomplish this goal, it’s the one we’re assembling. Together, this team brings more than a century of combined experience, giving this project the insight and proven expertise it deserves.
Fiber is the best option available today. It is unmatched in its potential speed and reliability. It benefits and strengthens each community by bringing reliable communications solutions that allow for better recreational, work, and emergency internet use.
Thank you for your patience, excitement, and support as we take the next step towards delivering the future, to Teton Valley, today. We are thrilled with the progress we have planned and look forward to sharing more details on the new project team, our amazing local vendors, construction areas, maps, and timelines!

Leaving February and Stepping into March
With the 2026 build season right around the corner, we’re excited to bring you another monthly update on the progress toward delivering fast, reliable fiber to our community. The project team is fully assembled, and we’re kicking off a new portion of these updates where we introduce you to the people who will be working on this project throughout construction and installation.
Meeting the Team
This month, we’re highlighting two customer-facing team members who many of you will meet as we move into the next phases of the project.
Kasi Nelson – Drops Coordinator
Kasi is stepping into a brand‑new role at Silver Star as our Drops Coordinator. If you’ve signed up for service, she’ll be working closely with you to make sure your construction and fiber drop experience is smooth from start to finish.
Kasi’s favorite part of the job is meeting customers face‑to‑face and seeing firsthand how our fiber internet impacts their daily lives. She’s a natural problem‑solver who listens carefully and works hard to create effective solutions for every situation.
Her personal mission for the Teton Valley buildout is to “leave things better than we found them,” a mantra she proudly inherits from her time spent with her two sons in the Boy Scouts of America. Outside of work, you’ll find her at a workout each morning to start her day with intention and motivation. She gets pumped up with the song Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, and her phone is her go‑to tool for getting things done.
Jazzlyn Jones – Customer Success Specialist
Jazzlyn is our customer success specialist focused on Teton Valley. She loves talking with people, answering questions, helping people get signed up, and ensuring everyone feels confident and supported throughout the process.
Her passion lies in connecting Teton Valley to fast and reliable fiber by building trust, communicating honestly, and helping every household gain access to our fiber network. Jazzlyn wants the community to know her purpose is far more than getting sales; she’s a customer resource for anything related to the project and your personal build. If she doesn’t have the answer, she’ll connect you with the right person who does.
Every morning, she walks her dogs (even in the snow) which gets her moving and inspired to start the day. She usually listens to rock music to stay focused and lives by the quote:
“Work hard in silence; let success make the noise.”
Community Events & Meetings
City Council Meetings
Our team has been and will be attending upcoming city council meetings throughout Teton Valley to stay connected, answer questions, and continue partnering closely with the community. We’ll share specific dates and times each month as meetings approach. This month we stopped by Victor, and you can catch us at the next Driggs city council meeting on March 3rd.
Coffee Meet-up with Wydaho Roasters
Make sure to join Kasi and Jazzlyn Thursday, March 5th from 9am -12pm for a community coffee meet‑up! Silver Star is partnering with Wydaho Roasters for this pop‑up event where you can chat with our team members, ask questions, learn more about the buildout, and grab some delicious food and a cup of locally roasted coffee from an amazing local business.

Are Fiber and "Air Fiber" the Same?
No, fiber and “air fiber” offered by some providers are not the same. Fiber is capable of speeds up to 5Gbps per household and is a direct, wired connection. “Air Fiber” is a name that has been given to wireless internet, which is capable of lower speeds, experiences interference problems and slow downs when exposed to weather, high internet usage in your area, and other factors that true fiber is unaffected by.
5Gbps vs. 5G
5Gbps and 5G may sound like they mean the same thing, but there are actually significant differences between the two products. 5Gbps refers to the download and upload speed that your internet connection is capable of, whereas 5G refers to the kind of network that cellular devices use.
The 5G cellular network is capable of speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, and plans offered for 5G wireless internet are often capped, meaning your speeds are throttled after you hit a usage cap for the month.
5Gbps fiber internet is capable of speeds up to 5 Gbps, with unlimited data usage and more reliability since it is wired directly to your home.
Do I Have to Sign Up for Fiber to Claim My DSL Discount?
Yes, in order to claim your discounted DSL package, you must sign up for fiber.
How Much is My DSL Being Discounted?
Discounts on DSL packages are customized per plan. All plans are being reduced by over $24 per month if you sign up for fiber! If you have questions about your specific discount or about your account, contact our Customer Success team.
