Service Installations Begin for Residents and Businesses

Metronet, named the “Fastest Major ISP” by PCMag two years in a row, today announced the launch of its 100% fiber-optic internet service in Marshalltown, Iowa. Residents and businesses in initial construction areas are now able to sign up for Metronet, with residential speeds up to five gigabits per second and business speeds of ten gigabits per second and beyond.

Metronet connects fiber-optic cables directly to homes and businesses, offering faster and more reliable speeds than traditional cable internet. As Metronet builds Marshalltown’s network neighborhood by neighborhood, customers will gain access to 100% fiber-optic internet as service is available at their location. Construction in Marshalltown is expected to be complete by early fall of 2025.

Residents and businesses interested in Metronet services may visit metronet.com/ia/marshalltown to sign up for service installation or receive construction updates.

“At Metronet, we know firsthand how important fast, reliable internet service is for every area of life, from remote working and learning to streaming and gaming,” said Ben Ruzick, Metronet vice president. “That’s why we’re thrilled for Marshalltown to experience our state-of-the-art fiber-optic internet, with steady, powerful speeds to keep you connected.”

As construction progresses, Marshalltown residents will continue to see Metronet trucks in the area. Residents will receive communication by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood 30 days prior to the start date. Additional notifications, such as yard signs, will also inform residents of upcoming construction. Metronet crews will be identifiable by ID tags and branded vehicles.

Metronet has invested heavily in Iowa, building fiber-optic networks to serve customers in Ames, Ankeny, Bettendorf, Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa City, Sioux City, Waterloo, and more than 30 additional Iowa cities. To learn more visit metronet.com/ia.
