Yes. Internet services providers (ISPs) can dig on your property if they have a legal easement or right-of-way. These are established on a piece of property when it is first developed. The easement grants utility companies (power, water, internet, etc.) the right to access your property to install, repair and maintain their service.

Please reach out to the internet service provider responsible to repair any damage. If you need help identifying the correct internet service provider, please call Bedford County at 540-586-7601, and we will try to assist.

The federal government's Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program could help cover the final 1,600 unserved addresses in Bedford County. The timing and exact allocation of BEAD funding remains uncertain at this time.
