Gateway Fiber will deploy fiber to Cottage Grove (Washington County)

Business Wire reports...

High-speed internet providerGateway Fiber is excited to announce its network expansion into Cottage Grove, Minnesota, providing residents and businesses a great new way to connect online. This milestone follows the City of Cottage Grove’s Request for Proposal (RFP) process, in which Gateway Fiber was selected to design, construct, and deploy a state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure throughout the community.

“Residents deserve not just an additional option for internet, but one that provides a level of service that is above and beyond what is currently offered. As people across the country are working remote or hybrid, paying bills online, streaming TV and movies, to say nothing of the role that quality internet service plays in commercial businesses, this is a vital service that residents rely on daily. It supports economic development, housing development, and our current residents in massively meaningful ways.”

Gateway Fiber’s selection was based on its comprehensive response to the city’s RFP, demonstrating a proven track record of successful fiber deployments, commitment to transparent pricing, and dedication to exceptional customer service, with customer service scores that far exceeded traditional internet providers.
