WESTFIELD – The next four neighborhoods to be connected to Westfield Gas + Electric’s Whip City Fiber high-speed internet have just been announced. Residents of Knollwood Acres and the Hillside/Plantation, Papermill Road/Joseph Heights, and Springdale/Holyoke Road neighborhoods are now eligible to complete their service applications at whipcityfiber.com. 
Whip City Fiber offers full fiber optic service to residential and commercial customers at speeds of up to 1 gigabit for upload and download. In Westfield, this is currently the fastest service available. Customers who submit their applications before August 31 will receive a free month of service.
The new neighborhoods are the second group since the pilot to move into the application phase. Westfield Gas + Electric and contract crews have been installing fiber infrastructure in all eligible neighborhoods. By August, neighborhoods in the first group, which includes Eastview Heights, Middle Western Avenue from Spruce Street to Kensington Avenue including all side streets, and the Prospect Street area from Foch Avenue to Willow Brook Lane, will begin to have their service activated.
“We are very excited at the response we’ve received about Whip City Fiber. Every day we hear from residents of Westfield who are anxious for high-speed internet to be available in their neighborhood,” said Dan Howard, Westfield Gas + Electric General Manager. “It’s a great motivator for our entire team to hear how much customers are looking forward to this new service.”
