Previously referred to as the “Downtown Fiber Project,” EUGNet is an ‘open access fiber optic network. The fiber strands run underground from a central exchange to individual buildings. ‘Open access’ means that the fiber strands are managed by EWEB, a public utility. Private internet service providers lease those fiber strands to serve individual businesses in the connected buildings. EUGNet’s increased speed and reduced cost is expanding in downtown Eugene and has been super charged with backbone connections to Portland and Silicon Valley.
