Ohio city invests $7 million in fiber optic network
(UI) – Ohio-based Omni Fiber and the City of Wilmington have partnered to bring broadband access to the majority of the city with a new state-of-the art 100% fiber network. Once the estimated $7 million project is complete, the 100% fiber network will provide affordable and reliable high-speed Internet access to residents and businesses.
Residential services available will include fiber Internet plans up to 2 Gbps (2,000 Mbps), traditional and streaming TV options, and home phone. Small business solutions will also be available later this year.
“Bringing more reliable broadband access and a new choice in Internet service for underserved areas across the Midwest is a mission we’re proud of and appreciate the City of Wilmington supporting our efforts,” said Darrick Zucco, CEO of Omni Fiber.
Construction of the multi-month project is now underway, with installations expected to begin in the summer.
