Aberdeen Gets Affordable, Accessible Midco Gig

Aberdeen, SD – Homes and businesses stretching from Roscoe to Waubay and Frederick to Redfield will now have access to Midco Gig. Midco Gig is 35 times faster than the average high-speed internet and available at an affordable price.

“We know people living in and around the Hub City have been clamoring for Midco Gig. The current environment has made high-speed internet more important than ever before,” said Midco President & CEO Pat McAdaragh. “From distance learning to telemedicine, Midco Gig Internet uses our state-of-the-art network to provide super-fast, reliable speeds through a modem.”

For residential customers, Midco Gig Internet will provide a large amount of bandwidth to a home network - allowing multiple users to surf, stream, download and game at the same time. For business customers, Midco Business Gig Internet will deliver the internet capacity needed to support employee productivity and serve customers.

In addition to Midco Gig launching in Aberdeen, Midco is nearing completion of construction on a new 4,000 square foot, state-of-the-art headend. Known as the central network facility, the headend was designed as a Tier 2-equivalent data center and will provide enhanced security and advanced backup to keep customers’ services working in the event of a power issue or other interruption.

The transition to move customers’ services to the new headend will take place over the next few months. Customers will be notified in advance of the transition.

Midco Gig Internet is now available in 95% of the communities Midco serves. It’s part of Midco’s ongoing promise to delivering services that enhance people’s lives wherever they live and work.
