Metronet announces multi-gigabit fibre optic internet for residents, businesses in Hickory

Metronet announced that 100% fibre optic internet has rolled out to residents and businesses in Hickory. As Metronet becomes widely available throughout Hickory, residents will have access to multi-gigabit speeds up to 2 gigabits; and businesses may have access to speeds up to 10 gigabits. Customers located in Metronet’s initial construction areas may now sign up to have Metronet’s future-proof, symmetrical fibre optic internet installed by visiting here or calling 888-225-3864.

“By bringing unmatched, multi-gigabit speeds to Hickory, we are able to ensure yet another community has access to the life-changing speeds that only fibre optic internet can provide,” says John Autry, Metronet regional sales manager, community development. “In community after community, we have seen the positive impact that our network can have, setting communities apart from their neighbor. We are honored to bring service to more residents and businesses and look forward to seeing the lasting impact of our multi-gigabit speeds.”

As Metronet continues construction throughout Hickory, 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.
