SPEEDCONNECT LEAVING SOUTH DAKOTA CONFIRMED



Confirmed via our PUC: Speed Connect leaving SD

Last week the FCC announced that Midco was the winning bidder to receive a subsidy for providing broadband in many of the very high cost rural CenturyLink areas in South Dakota.  A chunk of the Flandreau exchange is included in that coverage.  My understanding is that Midco will use a new generation fixed wireless product (up to 100 mbps) to meet their obligation.  It’s possible some of that coverage may serve part of your area but it is way too early in that process to know.  

This will NOT happen this year.

  1. Thank you but CL is not available to many rural customers and no plans for several years.
