New Fiber Network is Coming!
The City Council has voted for us to expand our Internet Services to allow us to provide fiber optic internet to all of our current utility customers. COW-Link will remain online and in service until the new Fiber Optic Network is installed. We will continue to add any customer we can currently serve.
The new service will be named Williston Fiber.
Once the Fiber Optic network is up and online, and as we complete installation in areas of town, the Fiber will be available for connection to customers. We will not have to wait for the entire town to be installed, before we can utilize it.
Please understand that this is not a fast process, but we are going to complete this project as fast as we can.

Original COW-Link Network
COW-Link is the City of Williston, owned and operated Internet Service. COW-Link began it's life through a Truist EPIC Grant funded project, made possible by The Internet Society. This grant funded project is meant to bring high quality, affordable, broadband internet to the residents of Williston, FL.
This initial grant, was not sufficient to provide city-wide coverage, but was meant to be a stepping stone, to start the process, and allow for us to build up this highly needed service for our citizens.
We have begun to run some fiber optic cables, and are planning on more runs, ans our funding allows.
Our Service Plans are simple, no contract, no data caps. We are offering 3 plans at this time:
Standard: 10 Mbps Download / 5 Mbps Upload for $15.00 / month.
General: 25 Mbps Download / 25 Mbps Upload for $32.50 / month.
100MB: 100 Mbps Download / 25 Mbps Upload for $64.00 / month.
