What Must I Do To Set Up My LFT Fiber Email Service?

Your email is already setup. Your customer service representative set up your account/password when you placed your order for service. If you don't know your email address and password, please call 99-FIBER (993-4237).

Login

There are two ways to access your LUS Fiber Email service.

  • The first way is to go to the LUS Fiber home page (lusfiber.com). At the top center of the page, select Check My Email.

Either method will bring you to the Login page.
