Needs of customers behind the decision to add DOCSIS 3.0

At Midcontinent Communications our mission is to create and deliver high-quality services to our customers and that commitment was behind our investment in DOCSIS 3.0 technology. Our adoption of DOCSIS 3.0 will boost speeds for all customers and we can deliver 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload speeds to homes with our MidcoNet® Ultimate package. The goal of preparing our customers for the future with more bandwidth and advanced technology was also fulfilled by adding DOCSIS 3.0.

Our business customers will see a variety of benefits from this technology. For example, we are offering substantially more bandwidth at a competitive price with our Business Solutions Advanced package. Businesses will be more productive with a faster, more reliable DOCSIS 3.0 Internet connection. DOCSIS 3.0 will also give businesses advanced technology without the headache of maintaining complicated technology.

Overall, we see the addition of DOCSIS 3.0 as a way to better serve customers starting in Sioux Falls and West Fargo and moving to our others service areas in the months ahead.
