In June 2018 The Committee became The Cummington Municipal Light Plant Board. The members appointed at that time were Allan Douglas (MLP Manager), Michael Perkins, Brenda Arbib, Scott Keith, and Maureen Tumenas. Since then the MLP Board has been elected <\/span><span>pursuant to the provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws c. 164.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Cummington MLP board actively pursued the options available to the town of Cummington for a FTTH (fiber to the home) network. An intergovernmental contract was signed in June 2017 with Westfield Gas + Electric MLP for Fiber Network Design and Construction. The first subscribers to the FTTH network were live in March of 2020. Currently, January 2026, we have 381 subscribers for internet and 101 for VOIP phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Our ISP (Internet Service Provider) is Westfield\u2019s Whip City Fiber (WCF) and they are bringing Internet at the speed of light to the Town of Cummington.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_pb_gutters3 et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cummington-ma.gov\/MLPBoard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CCAJD800.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cummington-ma.gov\/MLPBoard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CCAJD800.png 800w, https:\/\/cummington-ma.gov\/MLPBoard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CCAJD800-480x343.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-73\" title=\"CCAJD800\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Over 380 Subscribers<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span>With a gigabit internet connection from Cummington Connect (1,000 Mbps for download and upload), you will have enough speed for everything you do online.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_3 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whipcityfiber.com\/cummington\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sign Up Today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_pb_gutters3 et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Sign Up for Internet or Phone<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Use this link to go to Whip City Fiber and sign up for internet at the speed of light and also VOIP phone service.
