Top Internet Speeds for Midcontinent Customers
Posted: 07/15/2011 11:34 AM (MidcoNet Xstream)

By Jon Pederson, Vice President of Technology for Midcontinent Communications

 

We have been making some technology improvements designed to enhance our broadband capacity. MidcoNet Xstream Wideband is a shift in technology, allowing Midcontinent Communications to deliver up to 100 Mbps downloads and 15 Mbps uploads–speeds unmatched in the three-state area we serve. Our goal is to deploy advanced technologies to ensure an outstanding customer experience now and well into the future.

 

Current customers will receive an automatic boost in Internet speeds at no additional cost.

 

MidcoNet Xstream® Wideband 3.0 will offer up to 100 Mbps downloads and 15 Mbps uploads
MidcoNet Xstream® Wideband 2.0 will offer up to 50 Mbps downloads and 10 Mbps uploads
MidcoNet Xstream® Wideband 1.0 will offer up to 30 Mbps downloads and 5 Mbps uploads

 

Why does capacity matter?
