The Shoreview deployment will significantly improve the local digital infrastructure, ensuring faster download and upload speeds, improved online reliability, and seamless connectivity for multiple devices.

“We’re looking forward to having fiber optic for our residents and our businesses and the economic development that will follow it,” said John Connelly, president of the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce.

Shoreview residents will receive timely updates as construction progresses, including information on connecting to the new service. Each neighborhood under construction will be informed of progress through door hangers, with contact information for questions.
