Under its new ownership, Metronet evolved into a wholesale builder and operator of fiber-optic networks used by T-Mobile Fiber for residential customers and microbusinesses and by Metronet itself for commercial customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMetronet has built the strongest construction capacity in the industry, bringing world-class digital infrastructure to new cities at a pace that is unparalleled among pure-play fiber builders,\u201d said Dave Heimbach, Metronet\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough our partnership with T-Mobile Fiber, Metronet will be bringing its award-winning multi-Gig Internet service to millions more Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speed of Metronet\u2019s network-expansion efforts continues to accelerate. The company reached its first one million locations 17 years after its founding. It took just two more years to reach two million and then a little more than one year to surpass three million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complement its organic growth, Metronet is making strategic acquisitions. In September, the company closed on the purchase of Minneapolis-based fiber ISP US Internet, Metronet\u2019s seventh acquisition in seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, Metronet\u2019s fiber network now serves more than 300 communities across 19 states, with additional state launches to be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metronet has expanded its all-fiber network to three million locations, marking a major milestone in US connectivity.
