Fairmont and Sherburn Get Affordable, Accessible Gig

Fairmont, MN – Homes and businesses in Fairmont and Sherburn will now have access to Midco® Gig Internet. Midco Gig is 35 times faster than the average high-speed internet and available at an affordable price.

“The current environment has made high-speed internet more important than ever before,” said Midco President & CEO Pat McAdaragh. “From distance learning to telemedicine, Midco Gig Internet uses our state-of-the-art network to provide super-fast, reliable speeds through a modem.”

For residential customers, Midco Gig will provide a large amount of bandwidth to a home network – allowing multiple users to surf, stream, download and game at the same time. For business customers, Midco Business Gig Internet will deliver the internet capacity needed to support employee productivity and serve customers.

“COVID-19 has underscored the reality, yet again, that access to high-speed internet is no longer a luxury; it’s a utility that is just as important as clean water or electricity,” said Minnesota State Senator Julie Rosen. “Students may finally be returning to the classroom, but other trends – like the demand for telehealth and more companies allowing remote work – are here to stay. I am thrilled that Midco has stepped in to address this glaring need for Sherburn and Fairmont, bringing fantastic news to folks in these communities!”

Midco Gig Internet is now available in 95% of the communities Midco serves. It’s part of Midco’s ongoing promise to delivering services that enhance people’s lives – wherever they live and work.
