What happened to the team working on the Salem Node? They only had a few houses left to add the optic cables to the underground network. Mind you, this was a few weeks ago. WE ARE READY

We are looking for a new router that is compatible with the fiber network. We have a CenturyLink that's over 10 years old, so I suspect it won't work when we switch providers. Any recommendations/advice on finding a new one that won't cost an arm and a leg? Tanks!
