Consolidated Communications Expanding Fiber Network and Increasing Broadband Speeds throughout Northern New England
February 22 2018 - 8:00AM
Consolidated Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNSL) today
announced plans to increase broadband speeds to more than 500,000
residents and small businesses across its Northern New England
service area by the end of 2018. Consolidated Communications
recently launched its brand following the Company’s acquisition of
FairPoint Communications last year.
“This is an exciting time for our customers as we significantly
increase broadband speeds and make it easier to do business with
us,” said Bob Udell, president and chief executive of Consolidated
Communications. “Today’s announcement is a result of our commitment
to improve broadband speeds after we closed on the FairPoint
acquisition. We are excited about new tools and service
enhancements to come.”
As residents have more and more devices connecting to the
Internet, Consolidated Communications made delivering faster speeds
to customers a top priority. More than 500,000 residents and small
businesses will be able to get speeds two to three times faster
than what is currently available. Nearly 100,000 homes will be able
to reach speeds of 1Gbps.
Customers can visit www.consolidated.com and enter their service
address to learn more about speeds available in their area and new
and enhanced services. In many cases, speed upgrades will not
require a service call. Customers will be notified when increased
speeds become available in their area.
In addition to faster broadband speeds and overall investment in
the network, residents and businesses can expect several new
products and services. Consolidated has recently announced the
expansion of enterprise business services across Northern New
England including premise hardware virtualization and DDOS
mitigation services that solve data security and business
continuity challenges. New residential and small business services
will be announced in the coming months including IP-based voice
services and streaming video offerings.
