Metronet reports that it is well on its way to building its fiber-optic network in East Moline, Illinois and has begun installations to homes and businesses, giving that municipality a chance to become the ISP's latest 'Gigabit City.'

The news comes on the heels of the fast growing U.S. broadband provider's merger with Vexus for FTTH network expansion in Texas. 

East Moline customers may visit Metronet’s storefront in neighboring Davenport, where they will be able to speak with customer care representatives, sign-up for services and schedule installation.

As Metronet continues construction throughout East Moline, residents in construction areas will receive communication by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood 30 days prior to beginning and the company provides additional messaging, such as yard signs, to let residents know when the temporary construction process is beginning in their neighborhood.

Metronet brings fiber-optic services directly to homes and businesses in underserved communities in America with symmetrical upload and download speeds up to 10 Gigabits, with no long-term contracts.

The company expects its network to be available to more than one million residential households and business locations in the near term, providing more service options to hundreds of communities.
