Metronet has begun construction to bring multigigabit internet service directly to homes and businesses throughout Chaska. According to a Metronet press release, the residents who pay for the service will gain access to speeds of up to five gigabits per second while businesses will gain speeds of up to ten gigabits per second.
As Metronet’s fiber construction teams move through the community, service will become available neighborhood by neighborhood. The first customer service installations are anticipated early next year, Metronet claims.
“Metronet is committed to improving life online and we’re thrilled that Chaska will soon experience the best fiber-optic internet available,” said Jill Cordes, a Metronet vice president. “And for the city of Chaska itself, we believe that the availability of ultra-fast fiber internet will be a strong contributor to its economic development efforts.”
Company officials note that residents 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.
In addition to soon serving Chaska, Metronet provides internet service to Rochester, Austin, Faribault, Lakeville, Northfield, Owatonna, Waconia, and other Minnesota communities.
