Metronet to Invest $21M in Fiber-Optic
Network
Metronet, the fastest major ISP in the nation according to
PCMag, today announced a $21 million investment to bring its
internet service to three Minnesota communities. This expansion
will provide residents and businesses of Chanhassen, Shorewood and
Victoria with access to Metronet’s ultrafast 100% fiber-optic
internet, offering residential speeds of up to five gigabits and
business speeds of up to ten gigabits.
Construction is set to begin this summer, with the first service
installations anticipated early next year. Residents and businesses
interested in Metronet services can visit metronet.com/mn for more
information and construction updates.
Jill Cordes, a Metronet regional vice president, shared, “As
demand for ultra-high-speed, 100% fiber-optic internet continues to
surge across the Minneapolis region, Metronet seized the
opportunity to expand our award-winning network. This expansion
allows us to grow alongside these communities, ensuring that more
homes and businesses have access to the reliable, high-speed
connectivity they need to stay connected to what matters most.”
Once construction begins, residents will see Metronet trucks in
the area. They will receive communication by mail about
construction activity in their neighborhood 30 days prior to the
start date. Additional notifications, such as yard signs, will also
inform residents of upcoming construction. Metronet crews will be
identifiable by ID tags and branded vehicles.
Metronet plans to hire local market management positions, sales
and customer service professionals, and service technicians to
support the area. Those interested in joining the Metronet team can
visit metronet.com/careers to search available positions and submit
applications.
In Minnesota, Metronet provides internet service to Rochester,
Austin, Faribault, Lakeville, Northfield, Owatonna, Waconia and
other communities.
