Plymouth Homes and Businesses Will Have Access
to Some of the Fastest Internet Speeds in the Country
Metronet announced today that residents and businesses in
Plymouth will soon have access to 100% fiber-optic internet
service. With a $30 million investment from Metronet, Plymouth will
become part of Metronet’s expanding Minnesota network, offering
speeds of up to five-gigabits per second for homes and up to
ten-gigabits per second for businesses.
Construction is set to begin this summer, with the first
customers expected to be connected by fall of 2024. Upon
completion, Plymouth will join the ranks of the nation’s internet
elite as a Certified Gigabit City Powered by Metronet.
“Fiber-optic connectivity is the future of the internet, and
Metronet’s ultra-high-speed, lag-free service sets a new standard
for excellence," said Jill Cordes, Metronet Regional Vice
President. "We are proud to welcome Plymouth to our network of over
300 communities benefiting from 100% fiber-optic, symmetrical
speeds. We appreciate the support from Mayor Wosje, the city
council, and the entire community as we prepare to begin
construction in Plymouth. Our best-in-class service will soon be a
reality for residents and businesses.”
Once construction commences, Plymouth residents will see
Metronet trucks throughout the area. Residents will receive
communication by mail about construction activity in their
neighborhood 30 days prior to starting. Additional messaging, such
as yard signs, will also be provided to notify residents of when
construction is beginning in their neighborhood. Metronet crews are
identified by ID tags and branded Metronet vehicles.
Residents and businesses interested in Metronet services may

Metronet plans to hire local market management positions, sales
and customer service professionals and service technicians to
support the Plymouth area. Those interested in joining the Metronet
team can visit metronet.com/careers to search available positions
