We’re excited to offer more speed options to many communities in our Midwest region, giving you the freedom to connect now and far into the future.
Midco Fiber refers to our fiber network. In some areas, fiber runs directly to the home; in others, it runs deep into the neighborhood, and the final connection uses existing infrastructure. Your available plans and speeds depend on your service address. Plans, speeds, availability and delivery method vary by location.
