Thanks to Tim Finnerty for passing on the latest on DOCSIS 3.0 in Minnesota.

According to their press release, “Midcontinent Communications has launched wideband Internet to the West Fargo and Sioux Falls service regions. The deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) or D3 technology represents a landmark shift in Internet speeds to both residential and business consumers.”

Midcontinent’s MidcoNet™ Ultimate speeds will allow up to 50 MB downloads and 5 MB uploads and customers at all service levels (residential and business) will see a speed increase. Apparently Sabin, Minnesota already received the new service. Moorhead should receive service over the summer.
