More Floridians Gain Access to the Nation's Fastest ISP

Metronet, named PCMag’s “Fastest Major ISP in the Country,” has officially launched its 100% fiber-optic internet service in Goldenrod, Florida. The first residents can now experience speeds up to five gigabits per second, while local businesses gain access to speeds of up to ten gigabits per second.

Construction in Goldenrod began last summer and the network will continue to expand neighborhood by neighborhood as construction progresses. As additional homes and businesses are connected, more residents will gain access to Metronet’s state-of-the-art, ultra-high-speed internet.

Metronet’s advanced fiber-optic network provides symmetrical speeds, enabling seamless upload and download performance for residents and businesses. Interested customers can visit metronet.com/fl/goldenrod for updates and service sign-ups.

“Metronet’s 100% fiber-optic service continues to power communities throughout the Sunshine State with fast, reliable internet designed to improve our customers’ online experience, and we are proud to now have Goldenrod join our growing network,” said Telly Whitfield, Ph.D., director of new market development at Metronet. “Goldenrod’s homes and businesses will benefit from our ultra-high-speed network that’s designed to grow with the community and its needs.”

As construction progresses, Goldenrod residents will see Metronet trucks in the area. Residents will receive communication by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood 30 days prior to the start date. Additional notifications, such as yard signs, will also inform residents of upcoming construction. Metronet crews will be identifiable by ID tags and branded vehicles.

Metronet plans to hire local market positions in sales and service technicians to support the Goldenrod area. Those interested in joining the Metronet team can visit metronet.com/careers to search available positions and to submit applications.

Metronet has made significant investments across Florida, building fiber-optic networks to serve cities including Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, Tallahassee, and a dozen other communities. To learn more visit metronet.com/fl.
