Concerning your fiber internet billing. Lawrenceburg Broadband Communications will no longer be billing for internet service, and your March bill for April service was the last invoice that you will receive from the City of Lawrenceburg. altafiber will be contacting you to schedule a technician visit to migrate your service to altafiber equipment and billing. Customers will be contacted as the migration process rolls out in phases throughout the spring and summer. Your bill cycle with altafiber will begin on or around your date of migration, and you will be billed in advance for services from that point forward.

The transaction was closed and completed on February 28, 2023.

As part of the transaction, the City has agreed to provide certain customer support and network operations functions on altafiber’s behalf for a transition period to insure continuity of service for Lawrenceburg Broadband Communications customers.

The City of Lawrenceburg and altafiber are committed to ensuring a smooth process that minimizes any impact to customers. 

In the coming weeks, an altafiber migration specialist will contact you to walk through the migration process and discuss available services, speeds and prices. The migration specialist will also work with you to select a convenient date and time for an altafiber field technician to visit your address and transfer your current Lawrenceburg Broadband Communications services to altafiber’s Fioptics network.

Your service will not change. altafiber is committed to providing you with an outstanding customer experience. In addition, altafiber plans to introduce new services including video and voice over the next year.
