Hickory Powers Up with Metronet’s Multi-Gigabit Fiber Optic Internet

Service Installations Now Available for Residents and Businesses

Metronet today announced that 100 percent fiber optic internet has officially rolled out to residents and businesses in Hickory. As Metronet becomes widely available throughout Hickory, residents will have access to multi-gigabit speeds up to 2 gigabits; and businesses may have access to speeds up to 10 gigabits. Customers located in Metronet’s initial construction areas may now sign up to have Metronet’s future-proof, symmetrical fiber optic internet installed by visiting metronet.com or calling 888-225-3864.

“By bringing unmatched, multi-gigabit speeds to Hickory, we are able to ensure yet another community has access to the life-changing speeds that only fiber optic internet can provide,” said John Autry, Metronet Regional Sales Manager, Community Development. “In community after community, we have seen the positive impact that our network can have, setting communities apart from their neighbor. We are honored to bring service to more residents and businesses and look forward to seeing the lasting impact of our multi-gigabit speeds.”

As Metronet continues construction throughout Hickory, 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.

To check the status of Metronet’s construction in your area and to sign up to be notified when Metronet services are available to be installed in your home or business, please visit construction.Metronetinc.com.
