EVANSVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Metronet announced today that residents and businesses in Plymouth will soon have access to 100% fiber-optic internet service. With a $30 million investment from Metronet, Plymouth will become part of Metronet’s expanding Minnesota network, offering speeds of up to five-gigabits per second for homes and up to ten-gigabits per second for businesses.
Construction is set to begin this summer, with the first customers expected to be connected by fall of 2024. Upon completion, Plymouth will join the ranks of the nation’s internet elite as a Certified Gigabit City Powered by Metronet.
“Fiber-optic connectivity is the future of the internet, and Metronet’s ultra-high-speed, lag-free service sets a new standard for excellence," said Jill Cordes, Metronet Regional Vice President.
