Illinois Private
Easement Consent

Surf Internet and the State of Illinois are working together to bridge the digital divide! Your property easement may be needed for fiber internet infrastructure, just like electrical.  Join us in being a solution for bridging the digital gap bringing high-speed internet access to communities across Illinois.

Step 1: Fill out the form on this page.

The state of Illinois requires residents and businesses to give their consent to Surf Internet to use the right of ways near roads. If this form isn’t filled out, your home is at risk of not being connected to our fiber-optic network. There is no cost to you.

Step 2: Preparing for your fiber internet connection

After completing this initial consent form, Surf will be in contact with you about the next steps for fiber installation. Surf Internet will manage all the heavy lifting and costs required to obtain and file the proper easement documentation, permitting Surf to install fiber on the property easement.

If you have any questions, please contact our Illinois Grant support contact for assistance:

We are very excited to share this opportunity with you and look forward to bringing your community into our fiber-optic broadband network.

Signing the agreement does not obligate you in any way to sign up for Surf’s fiber service. * Signing the agreement does not guarantee that construction will take place at your property. While we are committed to bringing fiber internet to as many properties as possible, final construction plans are subject to factors such as design feasibility, permitting approvals, and funding requirements.

Unlimited Data

It’s hard work to track data usage, throttle speeds, and bill you incrementally for overages… we’re not looking for extra work. We’d rather just let you use as much data as you need for one low price.
