LOWELL, Ind. (May 6, 2024) – Surf Internet® has deployed multi-gig, fiber-optic internet services in the Town of Lowell, Ind. With speeds of up to 2 gigs currently available for residents and business owners, the future-proof technology ensures seamless scalability as technology continues to evolve.
The achievement was commemorated through a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at the Lowell Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, April 23, marking a significant milestone in the city’s digital transformation.
Surf is slated to bring its state-of-the-art fiber internet service to nearly 4,000 residential and commercial locations by the end of this year. This venture represents an investment of $3.7 million of their own capital to power the project, which began last year.
“We are proud to bring a competitive high-speed fiber-optic internet option to the underserved community of Lowell, ” said Surf CEO Gene Crusie. “We are continuing our commitment to bringing advanced technologies to the residents of Lowell that we began last year. I have no doubt this will be a catalyst for transformative change across homes and enterprises throughout the city.”
Deana Sutton, Vice President of the Lowell Chamber welcomed Surf Internet enthusiastically, saying, “The Lowell Chamber of Commerce and their members are excited to be welcoming Surf Internet to the community and the services that they are bringing with their fiber internet.”
Customers who subscribe to a 2 gig plan will experience a noticeable increase in symmetrical speeds for even faster upload and download of data. This is especially important for consistent performance when using an internet connection across multiple devices for e-learning, video conferencing, working from home, gaming, entertainment, and so much more.
The work in Lowell is part of Surf’s overall commitment to build an advanced fiber-optic network serving communities of all sizes across the Great Lakes Region of Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois.
