Company Now Exploring 25 Gig Speeds
Metronet was named America’s “Fastest Major ISP” by PCMag for
2024, the second year in a row. According to PCMag’s recently
released report, Metronet was ranked the fastest overall ISP in the
nation with a score of 340.5 on the PCMag Speed Index.
“Metronet customers enjoy the fastest speeds in the country
because we have invested so heavily in our state-of-the-art
infrastructure,” said Craig Cowden, Metronet’s Chief Product and
Technology Officer. “But we’re not stopping there. While our
residential customers now have access to symmetrical 5 gig speeds,
our technology roadmap calls for a 25 Gig platform that will
support even higher symmetrical speeds. We can’t wait to see what
our customers do with these blindingly fast speeds.”
Metronet provides 100% fiber-optic internet service to more than
300 communities in 17 states. Beyond its fast speeds, Metronet’s
networks are constructed with a focus on uptime and resiliency,
using multiple rings that provide a level of redundancy not often
seen from fiber-to-the-home providers.
“Metronet’s fiber network is truly carrier class,” continued
Cowden. “Our standard market architecture includes core and access
fiber rings each connected with at least two egress points,
designed so there’s no single point of failure -- either physical
or logical. To further improve reliability, we also extend this
ringed architecture deeper into the access network than our fiber
competitors can typically justify. This allows Metronet to survive
individual fiber cuts and network element failure with no or
limited impact to our customers.”
Metronet has scaled to become the nation’s largest independent
fiber-to-the-home provider, serving communities that include
Lexington, Des Moines, Norfolk, Tallahassee and Colorado
Springs.
