Century Library To Get Faster Data Connection
January 18, 2016
The Century Branch Library’s data connection to the outside will soon be getting faster.
The Escambia County Commission is set to approve an agreement with Southern Light, LLC, to provide a fiber optic connection to the library. This will provide a high speed fiber data connection between the Escambia County Library Century and the Main Library Branch with a monthly fee of $762.
The present T1 connection between the facilities is insufficient to progress with newer technology, according to county officials.
Once approved by the commission, work will be scheduled for the underground connection from the street to the building. The installation is expected to take just one day.

With that in mind, it would be appreciated if they would leave the WiFi on all the time, serve the community 24 hours per day, or at least those huddled around the building.
David for good stuff
>>I’m not a high-techy sort of fella, but does this mean there is fiber optic cable that passes through Molino, but doesn’t stop here?
Yes….the same fiber passes through Molino. It serves the library, tax collector, tax assessor and multiple cell towers. Services is sold to businesses only, not residential. Service ranges from about $500 to $1000 per month.
I’m not a high-techy sort of fella, but does this mean there is fiber optic cable that passes through Molino, but doesn’t stop here? My present DSL is insufficient to progress with newer technology (can’t watch Netflix).
