Moving there in a few months and want fiber only. Anyone WHO HAS AND CONFIRM fiber providers (rather than just randomly guessing or throwing out names) will be appreciated.

You will gain confirmation of availability by entering your address into the various providers' websites.

Without the address, anyone trying to help will be shooting in the dark.

Noted Mike, but the sites only respond by wanting you to fill out a long questionnaire (so they can mail and spam you later) and then tell you they aren't yet in the area. Was hoping to just get a few confirmed providers to get past that before checking further.

Need to know the development you're in, at a minimum, otherwise nobody here can help you. While Holly Springs laid the fiber backbone it is up to the providers to run the cable to each house and therefore not every house is serviced by every provider (if at all).

The landing page at ting.com is literally a box to put in your address and see if they have service at the address entered. If you're concerned with spam create a junk email account and use that.

Ting they told me I could get on a wait list with no idea when installation might happen. A non-starter.

Also, I often use a neighbor's house number for this sort of thing if I am worried about spam.

Google Fiber, ATT, Ting, Spectrum are all in Holly Springs.
And, that is meaningless without the address of the property.

At worst, I would assume that means they haven't put fiber on your street yet.

I used to ask this for west Cary several years ago and couldn't get anywhere unless I spoke to actual ppl in the particular neighborhoods or fill out that online form.

Because the availability varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. Google fiber could be in 1 neighborhood and not available at the neighborhood that borders it.

Correct, and there's no way I'm going without internet for months on end with no date in sight. Guess me only option is to ask the neighborhood next door (ours is so new there is literally only one resident moved in).

If you are local, drive the neighborhood and look at the vaults and any pedestals. They all have ID on them.
