Mediacom announced their plan to upgrade all of the Minnesota customers last December (2016). Well they’re making good on that announcement and have kindly send more info on cities and schedules.

They sent me two helpful fliers (1 Gig Map and Launch date for cities)– which I’m going to turn into a searchable blog post here.

Mediacom is spending $1 billion of private capital Mediacom is investing over three years (2016-18) to upgrade its fiber-based network and deliver 1Gig broadband internet to nearly all service areas. The resulting high-capacity network will bring digital services to more communities; deliver fiber-based communication services to more commercial interests; and deploy community Wi-Fi access points in high-traffic public areas.

They will pass 225,885 Minnesota homes with Mediacom’s fiber-rich digital network – border–to–border.

They will launch 1Gig broadband service in 181 communities in the spring and early summer of 2017, making new-generation internet service widely available in non-metro areas.

Here are details on communities and when they will launch:
