GoNetspeed today announced that construction has officially begun to bring high-speed, 100% fiber internet throughout Utica. With GoNetspeed’s fully funded $60 million investment in Utica, residents and businesses will soon experience fast, reliable internet and voice service for their home or business, free of taxpayer dollars.

As construction expands throughout Utica, GoNetspeed expects the first customers to be eligible for service installation as early as summer of 2024. Construction is expected to be completed by winter of 2025 when more than 38,000 homes and businesses throughout Utica will have the opportunity to experience GoNetspeed’s symmetrical fiber internet speeds, allowing customers to upload just as fast as they download. Residents and businesses interested may visit gonetspeed.com to sign up for priority installation once service is available in their area.
