Internet provider GoNetspeed has begun construction on a $1.6 million expansion of its 100% fiber-optic network in Manchester, Connecticut, the company announced, a move it says will make multi-gigabit speeds available to more than 5,000 additional homes and businesses.
Construction is already underway, and GoNetspeed expects to start connecting customers in the newly served areas “in the coming weeks,” according to a release last week.
Tom Perrone, GoNetspeed’s chief operations officer, framed the project as a response to growing demand for higher bandwidth.
“We understand the importance of a fast, reliable internet connection designed for current and future bandwidth needs, from supporting more devices to delivering faster speeds,” Perrone said.
He also added that the expansion will let “more Manchester residents unlock the power of a 100% fiber-optic internet with multigigabit capabilities.”
This latest outlay raises GoNetspeed’s total investment in Manchester to $8.2 million.
The company positioned the project as part of a broader Connecticut rollout that includes a recent $7 million build in Stratford and service already available in cities such as Ansonia, Bridgeport, Danbury, East Haven, New Haven and Hartford.
The company’s announcement did not include a detailed timeline for full completion of the Manchester build, nor did it specify which neighborhoods will be reached first. GoNetspeed did say customers in the expansion areas should be able to begin connecting within weeks and can pre-order service online.
