Metronet recently announced that high-speed multi-gigabit fiber optic internet is now available to residents and businesses throughout Hope Mills.
As Metronet’s service becomes available throughout the Hope Mills area, residents will have access to multi-gigabit speeds up to 2 gigabits; and businesses may access speeds up to 10 gigabits.
“Hope Mills now has the opportunity to tap into Metronet’s ultra-fast multi-gigabit 100 percent fiber optic internet, helping residents and businesses experience upgraded online quality of life that only symmetrical, fiber optic internet can offer,” said John Autry, Metronet Regional Sales Manager, Community Development, in a press release. “We’re thrilled for Hope Mills to join our network of multi-gigabit communities and are excited to see the positive impact of our service for years to come.”
As Metronet continues construction throughout Hope Mills, residents in construction areas will receive 30 days advance notice by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood. Metronet provides additional messaging, such as yard signs, to notify residents of when construction is beginning in their neighborhood. Metronet crews are marked by ID tags and branded vehicles.
