EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- 11/11/2024 -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --Metronet, the nation’s fastest major ISP according to PCMag, today announced that 100% fiber-optic internet service will soon be coming to Chaska, Minnesota. Investing tens of millions of dollars, Metronet has officially begun construction to bring multigigabit internet service directly to homes and businesses throughout the city. As construction progresses, Chaska’s residents will gain access to speeds of up to five gigabits per second and businesses will gain speeds of up to ten gigabits per second.

As Metronet’s fiber construction teams move through the community, service will become available neighborhood by neighborhood. The first customer service installations are anticipated early next year.

“Metronet is committed to improving life online and we’re thrilled that Chaska will soon experience the best fiber-optic internet available,” said Jill Cordes, a Metronet vice president. “And for the city of Chaska itself, we believe that the availability of ultra-fast fiber internet will be a strong contributor to its economic development efforts.”
