Gigabyte internet is on its way to Glidden and Mellen.
Astrea is proud to announce that the residents of Glidden and Mellen will soon have access to gigabyte internet speeds.
The Astrea and Norvado Partnership
Astrea, a division of CCI Systems, Inc. has partnered with Norvado through a Wisconsin Public Service grant, to bring fiber backed cable high-speed internet offerings to the Glidden and Mellen communities for the first time in the coming months.
As of Summer 2021, Astrea will be offering high-speed internet to residents in the Glidden and Mellen communities for the first time. These communities are currently receiving TV services from Astrea that will also be upgraded to enhanced digital services. After the upgrades have been completed, the Glidden and Mellen communities will have access to internet speeds ranging from 50mbps to 1Gig available to them.
“We are extremely excited to add Glidden and Mellen to the list of Gigabit communities we serve,” said Cory Heigl, Vice President of Astrea. “Our mission is to bring superior internet service to our rural communities that are often forgotten by larger providers. We continue to invest in bringing faster speeds to our rural markets including the launch of Gigabit speeds in additional communities such as Glidden and Mellen this year” said Heigl.
The internet offerings in this area were made possible through a Wisconsin Public Service grant awarded to Norvado and partnered with Astrea to bring faster internet to the communities of Glidden and Mellen. These speeds will allow customers to enjoy speeds that are typically only found in big cities. With the availability of up to 1 Gig internet speeds, Astrea customers will have better access to work and school from home, shop, stay in touch with friends, games, and enjoy online entertainment options. In addition, the network upgrade will also allow for enhanced digital TV options for customers in this area including expanded channel offerings.
