Today, GoNetspeed announced that construction has begun to bring 100% fiber internet to Middletown. As the next Connecticut community to gain access to GoNetspeed’s multi-gigabit fiber internet, GoNetspeed’s fully-funded $2.4 million investment will equip more than 3,000 homes and businesses with access to high-speed internet of up to two gigabits.

With construction underway, the first customers are expected to be connected by October of 2024. Residents and businesses interested in GoNetspeed services may visit gonetspeed.com to indicate interest and receive construction updates.

“Today, Middletown is one step closer to gaining access to another provider option. With construction having officially commenced, Middletown will soon experience the transformative impact of high-speed fiber internet,” said Tom Perrone, GoNetspeed COO. “As we begin our work, another Connecticut community will benefit from increased competition, faster speeds, improved customer service, and better pricing. We look forward to what lies ahead for Middletown.”

Fiber-optic internet equips communities with next-generation internet service, fostering community growth, competition, and economic development. With access to 100% fiber internet, Middletown will be powered with faster speeds and better reliability, positioning the community for a successful future online. GoNetspeed expects the project to be fully complete by winter of 2024.
