MetroNet to Make Montgomery a 'Gigabit City'

MONTGOMERY, IL — – Fiber-optic communications service provider MetroNet will expand into Montgomery with construction of its multimillion-dollar 100 percent fiber network in December.

The franchise agreement was approved at a Village of Montgomery board meeting in September.

With construction of MetroNet’s state-of- the-art fiber infrastructure, Montgomery residents can
look forward to the benefits of living in a “Gigabit City” that only a handful of communities nationwide currently enjoy, according to a news release from the business. Residential consumers in Montgomery will gain access to Internet speeds of up to one Gigabit per second and interactive fiber TV service with incredible picture quality, plus feature-rich and reliable fiber phone service: all at affordable rates.

MetroNet also plans to offer a full suite of business communications services ranging from a scalable hosted PBX phone solution for small and medium businesses all the way up to customized network services tailored to the specific needs of larger customers.

MetroNet will communicate the construction process with residents in a letter mailed to them before construction begins in their neighborhood. Crews working with the company will also post informational yard signs on individual properties in areas of construction to communicate activity. Residents may also go to the company’s website www.metronetinc.com/construction to view construction areas and details about construction process and to submit questions.

Meanwhile, Montgomery residents that would like to sign up for MetroNet services, check their address for serviceability or get more information about options are encouraged to call MetroNet at 844-889- 0450 or visit metronetinc.com and click “order now.” Early sign-up helps ensure residents that their address will be among the first for installation when MetroNet service reaches their neighborhood.
