Metronet said it’s launching gigabit Internet service in 19 communities in central Indiana. The service is now available to Metronet’s residential customers within the city limits of all 19 communities: Connersville, Crawfordsville, Franklin, Greencastle, Huntington, Lafontaine, Lebanon, Madison, New Castle, North Manchester, North Vernon, Seymour, Vincennes, Wabash, Whiteland/New Whiteland, West Lafayette/Lafayette and Ulen. Indiana Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann (R) praised Metronet in a news release for launching gigabit service, saying “broadband connectivity is a critical issue facing many small towns and rural communities in our state.” Metronet said Thursday it also quadrupled Internet speeds for residential customers who subscribe to triple-play bundles (http://mwne.ws/1rATCz6).
