GoNetspeed announces $8 million expansion into Carteret, NJ

A fully funded $8 million investment will extend GoNetspeed’s fiber-optic network into Carteret, a borough in New Jersey.

The ISP says the expansion will deliver symmetrical internet speeds of up to 6 Gbps to more than 6,300 homes and businesses.

GoNetspeed expects construction on the network to begin in the spring of 2027.

“Strong communities are built on strong infrastructure, and reliable fiber internet has become an essential part of that foundation,” said Richard Clark, GoNetspeed president and CEO.

The announcement is the latest momentum for GoNetspeed, which just last month celebrated the addition of Norwich, New York to their footprint.

“Granite State customers will not see any immediate change in services, and no action is required on their part,” TDS Telecom announced Sept. 1.
