LA CROSSE, Wis. - 01/04/2023 --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Metronet today announced that residents and businesses in La Crosse now have access to Metronet’s multi-gigabit speeds with service installation available. As service becomes widely available throughout much of the La Crosse area, residents will have the opportunity to tap into multi-gigabit speeds up to 2 gigabits; and businesses with access may choose speeds up to 10 gigabits. Customers located in Metronet's initial construction areas may now sign up for installation by visiting metronet.com or calling 888-225-3864.

“La Crosse is officially the first Wisconsin community that has the opportunity to go online with Metronet’s ultra-high-speed 100 percent fiber optic internet,” said Ben Ruzick, Metronet Government Affairs Director. “As we roll out our multi-gigabit internet access, La Crosse’s residents and businesses will now have the opportunity to connect with those most important to them with the ease and speed that no other provider can match. And, at Metronet we believe that everyone that has access to our network should have access to the same life-changing, symmetrical upload and download speeds, and that’s exactly what we have done in La Crosse.”

As construction continues throughout La Crosse, residents in construction areas will receive 30 days advance notice by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood. Metronet provides additional messaging, such as yard signs, to notify residents of when construction is beginning in their neighborhood. Metronet crews are marked by ID tags and branded vehicles.
