Thousands Of Guilford Homes, Businesses To Gain Fiber Internet Access: Details

GUILFORD, CT — GoNetspeed, a large independent fiber internet provider in the Northeast, recently announced plans to expand its fiber internet network to Guilford and Madison.

The company said in a news release the project is backed by a fully funded $4 million investment and will provide service to more than 4,200 households and businesses across the two shoreline communities.

Construction is expected to begin this summer, with the first homes and businesses anticipated to be connected as early as August.

"Bringing our 100 percent fiber network to Guilford and Madison is about more than expanding our footprint; it’s about investing in the future of these communities," said GoNetspeed Chief Operating OfficerTom Perrone in a news release.

"At GoNetspeed, we’re building infrastructure that keeps people connected through the demands of everyday life while supporting long-term growth for years to come," he added. "As we prepare to welcome Guilford and Madison to our network, we’re proud to provide residents and businesses with a reliable service and the power of provider choice."

The company said the expansion will provide access to symmetrical multigigabit internet speeds and further expand fiber internet infrastructure in Connecticut.

Guilford and Madison are set to join more than 40 Connecticut communities already served by GoNetspeed, including Ansonia, Bridgeport, Danbury, East Haven, Hartford and New Haven.

The planned expansion follows a recent $4.2 million network expansion in Derby and Shelton, according to the company.

GoNetspeed, which operates in 11 states, said its fiber-optic network offers symmetrical upload and download speeds ranging from 500 Mbps to 6 Gbps.
