“Fast, reliable broadband is central to the economic development of the communities we serve, and we are proud to make this investment in Grinnell,” said Jeff Small, president of the company’s consumer and small and midsize business segment. “We’re proud to empower the communities we serve with access to the fastest internet services available anywhere.”

The deployment brings gigabit speeds to approximately 2,300 homes and businesses in the area. Residential customers can take advantage of these speeds to work from home, to stream video or for gaming while safely navigating the internet with the benefit of our award-winning Kinetic Secure service. Business customers can take advantage of fiber fast speed offers together with Kinetic’s reliable voice and award-winning collaboration system.  Whatever your needs, Kinetic is here to ensure the internet works for you.

The project is part of a multi-year investment program to deploy in fiber and fiber-like services to communities across the Kinetic network. That investment means when internet use soared more than 30 percent earlier this year, the network was well-equipped to handle it without slowing down.

Residential customers can call (641) 840-1504 and business customers can call (641) 828-8119 to find out if they are eligible for a speed upgrade and how Kinetic can help meet their home or business needs.
