City, MetroNet to provide fiber-optic network for high-speed internet service
Indiana-based fiber optic provider MetroNet and the City of Rocky Mount are now partners in an effort to bring lightning-fast internet service to residences and businesses.
In a joint statement by MetroNet and the municipal government, the plan is for the company to begin a two-year construction project this fall to be paid for by the company, with the first Rocky Mount customers to receive service by early next year.
The statement said that once construction is completed, Rocky Mount will become North Carolina’s newest “Gigabit City.”
