Mediacom Communications Launches Ultra-High-Speed Broadband in Swan Lake Area

Marks ninth project completed by company in partnership with Minnesota DEED’s Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program

WASECA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mediacom Communications announced the completion of a fiber-optic network expansion that delivers ultra-high-speed broadband services to the Swan Lake area of Hale Township, MN.

Residents and businesses in previously unserved Swan Lake can now select from a variety of service offerings including broadband plans with download speeds up to 2 gigabits per second as well as low-cost phone plans. Mediacom also offers Connect2Compete-Plus (C2C+) for low-income households and participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). Both programs will help remove income barriers to broadband accessibility for eligible residents.

The Swan Lake project extends Mediacom’s fiber optic network to nearly 100 homes and businesses and marks the ninth network expansion the company has completed in partnership with the Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program administered by Minnesota Employment and Economic Development (DEED).

“Mediacom is proud to partner with Minnesota DEED to bring broadband to the unserved residents of Hale Township,” said Zach Raskovich, Area Operations Director for Mediacom. “Minnesota leaders have been trailblazers on closing the digital divide for Minnesotans through their broadband grant program. The Swan Lake project serves as another successful example of this public-private partnership.”
