I wrote about this deployment last week, but here’s a slight update from WDIO…

Crews are busy installing fiber cables across Duluth, to make sure people can have high speed Internet services through ImOn.

Dave Ball, Sales and Operations Manager for ImOn Communications, added, “Every single customer is going to have their own fiber line going directly into their house. They’re not going to have to share bandwidth with their neighbors and other businesses. And, you know, we’re going up to speeds up to five gig and five gig symmetrical. And nobody in this area is up to those speeds.”

ImOn is investing $120 million dollars into the Northland. WDIO caught up with them in the Kenwood neighborhood on Wednesday. …

Connection to the customers will begin in August, according to Ball. They are doing about half of Duluth this year, and Superior. And then the other half of Duluth next year.

Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the company has also pledged $100,000 to community organizations and non-profits.
