Metronet today announced that residents and businesses in the Illinois communities of Colona, Elkhart, Hampton, Milan and Silvis now have access to even faster internet with Metronet’s multi-gigabit speeds. In addition to Metronet’s current offerings of 1 gigabit per second, speeds up to 2 gigabits are now available for residents; businesses may choose speeds up to 10 gigabits. With access to Metronet’s multi-gigabit symmetrical upload and download speeds, customers will experience higher-quality video conferencing, streaming, gaming and online learning.

The updates to multi-gigabit speeds were made with no disruption to the current infrastructure. Those interested in upgrading to Metronet’s multi-gigabit speeds may call Customer Care at 1-855-977-4609.

“As our multi-gigabit service is rolled out throughout our Illinois footprint, we are excited to witness the positive impact it will have on the communities we serve,” said Eric Vyncke, Metronet Regional Sales Manager. “With access to multi-gigabit speeds, customers throughout these communities and others to come will experience the online world with even more speed and ease, making them a great place to live and work.”

In the coming months, more communities throughout Metronet’s 16-state service area will join Colona, Elkhart, Hampton, Milan and Silvis in gaining access to multi-gigabit speeds.
