Vexus to provide internet service across the
city with $35 million investment
Vexus Fiber, a leading provider of high-speed fiber-optic
internet, announced the launch of its $35 million fiber-optic
network in Mission, Texas. The first customers can now sign up for
ultrafast internet service of 5/5 gigabits per second for homes and
unlimited multigigabit speeds for businesses. Residents and
businesses located in Vexus Fiber’s initial service areas may now
sign up for internet by visiting shop.VexusFiber.com.
"We are excited to announce service availability in Mission,”
said Mark Bookout, Regional Vice President – Rio Grande Valley at
Vexus Fiber. “The start of service for our reliable fiber-optic
network to the community represents a major milestone in our
commitment to infrastructure and economic development across the
Rio Grande Valley and the state of Texas. Our investment in Mission
allows us to provide one of the fastest internet connections in the
nation to all community members, enabling both residents and
businesses to meet their growing bandwidth needs.”
Vexus began construction in Mission earlier this year and almost
2,000 homes and businesses now have service available. Construction
continues throughout the city and is on track to be completed to
more than 30,000 homes and businesses over the next 24 months. With
this state-of-the-art infrastructure, both residents and businesses
in Mission can enjoy reliable high-speed internet access to stay
connected in today’s fast-paced world.
"We are delighted to welcome Vexus Fiber to Mission," said Norie
Gonzalez Garza, Mayor of Mission. "This high-speed fiber internet
service will greatly enhance the quality of life for our residents
and provide our businesses with the connectivity they need to
succeed. Vexus Fiber's investment marks a significant step forward
for our community, and the creation of many jobs in the region is a
tremendous benefit."
Vexus is opening several retail stores across the Rio Grande
Valley, including a location in Edinburg at 2001 W. Trenton, Suite
101, which it expects to open this summer. Vexus currently operates
a location in McAllen at 5601 S Ware Road, as well.
Vexus is proud to support the local economy through permanent
jobs all across Texas, including a Texas-based call center team for
support and sales. The construction project has brought
approximately 200 jobs to the region and Vexus is creating 150
permanent jobs.
“Our team is dedicated to bringing a competitive, local choice
for internet that can adapt and grow with ever-changing digital
demands,” added Bookout. “By investing in a 100% fiber-optic
network, we are building for the future, and elevating Mission to
Gigabit City status. Vexus is committed to being a true community
member and partner here.”
The network provides customers with symmetrical speeds, with
packages from 150/150 Mbps up to 5/5 Gbps for residential customers
to meet every household need and a secure connection that protects
their personal information. Businesses now have access to data
connections customizable at multi-gig speeds to meet their specific
needs and TeleCloud-hosted communication solutions that bring
together phone, chat and video conferencing services in one.
