TDS begins broadband expansion project in New London, several other central Minnesota cities
Oct. 24—NEW LONDON
— Residents and businesses in Brooten, Danube, Kerkhoven, New London, Pennock and Spicer will soon be gaining access to 1-gigabit broadband connections, thanks to a project by TDS Telecommunications.
The telecommunications service provider broke ground on a fiber network expansion project this month.
According to a news release, it will connect more than 3,700 properties to fiber broadband service, with the first people being able to connect by next summer. The launches will continue through the construction period as phases are completed.
"We've been a proud part of these communities for more than 50 years and we couldn't be more excited to invest in these network upgrades," said Drew Petersen, senior vice president of corporate affairs, in a news release. "Fiber is the gold-standard technology because it delivers the reliable, fast upload and download speeds people want for remote work, school, health care and to have the best entertainment experience at home."
Construction will include the burying of conduit and fiber cable underground in utility easement areas.
TDS recently completed several projects in Minnesota, including around Pequot Lakes, Pine River, Breezy Point and Jenkins.
