| Ann Treacy Oct 3 | Arvig announces... Arvig has elected to enroll in a newly modernized Alternative Connect America Model (A-CAM) program that has been granted additional project funding and includes higher internet speed targets. The Federal Communications Commission established Enhanced A-CAM after adopting an order to raise target speeds to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) download and 20 Mbps upload in eligible project areas. The updated program also makes a share of $13.5 billion available to Arvig and the nation's 446 other participating service providers. ... Through this federal program, Arvig will invest in network projects across dozens of rural communities in the coming years to bring high speed internet to thousands of households in the region. Arvig is on track to easily meet the higher speed targets,of up to 100 Mbps/20 Mbps, with many eligible areas projected to receive access to internet speeds up to 8 Gbps. Here are the target areas... Arvig has participated in A-CAM since it was established in 2016 and has since provided services to more than 43 rural communities throughout Minnesota. In 2023, Arvig is focusing its ACAM efforts on the rural areas of Eagle Bend, Frazee, Grey Eagle, Melrose, Nevis, New York Mills, Wabasso, Walker and Vergas, providing access to internet speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) download and 100 Mbps upload. A-CAM's previous target speed was 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
