The network passes 250 homes and businesses, and residential plans start at $30 per month for 100 Mbps symmetrical service, [Telecompetitor](https://www.telecompetitor.com/stimulus-broadband-connects-first-fiber-customers-in-bonanza-oregon/) reported. Stimulus Broadband is a division of Henderson, Nevada-based Stimulus Technologies.\n\n## Bonanza Fiber Network and Stimulus Broadband Plans\n\nStimulus Broadband's fiber network in Bonanza now passes 250 homes and businesses. Residential plans in the community start at $30 per month for 100 Mbps symmetrical service, with options up to 2500 Mbps for $139 per month, and all plans offer matching upload and download speeds. Residents can check availability and sign up at stimulusbroadband.com/bonanza-or or by calling (800) 340-0766.\n\n\"Fiber changes what's possible in a town,\" said Nathan Whittacre, CEO of Stimulus Broadband. \"It gives people more options for how they work, learn, run a business and stay connected. Bringing fiber service to Bonanza is an important step for this community, and connecting our first fiber customer here is an important milestone for our company. It's something we've been working toward for years, and we're glad it started here.\"\n\nWhittacre said Bonanza is the start, not the finish, for Stimulus Broadband's fiber work. \"We built this network to grow, both in Oregon and across our footprint. Over the next few months we'll bring thousands more homes online, but our focus goes beyond building the network. We want to be a provider people can count on, with a local team they can reach and a long-term commitment to the communities we serve.\"\n\nStimulus Technologies, the parent company, urged Las Vegas businesses on September 1, 2026, to test their disaster recovery plans, comparing the exercise to a fire drill, according to EIN Presswire.\n\n## Stimulus Broadband's Earlier Nevada Builds\n\nStimulus Broadband began fiber internet construction in Goodsprings and Jean, Nevada, in September 2026, bringing speeds up to 2,500 Mbps to 131 addresses across roughly 16 miles of new infrastructure, EIN Presswire reported. Service there will be available in phases, with full completion expected before the end of 2026.\n\nIn August 2026, the company began construction on a fiber network in Sandy Valley, Nevada, serving about 1,246 households, with speeds up to 2,500 Mbps and full completion expected before the end of 2026, supported by Nevada's SLFRF funding, according to EIN Presswire. Stimulus Broadband said in May 2026 that it would expand its fiber network to Indian Springs, Nevada, using a state grant to deploy about 16 miles of infrastructure for over 400 addresses, EIN Presswire reported.\n\n## Stimulus Broadband's Next Fiber Locations\n\nBy the end of 2026, Stimulus Broadband expects to make fiber available to several thousand additional locations across Indian Springs, Goodsprings and Sandy Valley, Nevada. The company also plans continued fiber expansion in southern Oregon in the coming years.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
