Telecommunications provider ensures superior wireless connectivity with modern fiber optic infrastructure now installed in more than 10,000 apartments, condos, and townhomes.
PERHAM, Minn., Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telecommunications and broadband provider Arvig has announced it has installed a fiber optic connection into more than 10,000 townhome, condo and apartment units within the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, and Rochester area. The telecommunications provider continues to grow its high-speed internet connectivity offerings, a service that has become increasingly important with many now working and learning from home because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Started in 2015, Arvig’s efforts to install a premium high-speed internet service using fiber optic infrastructure into multi-family dwelling units has proven to be a selling point for property managers and landlords. The product, known as Multiwav internet, provides instant internet and data-streaming capabilities to new residents. Arvig’s efforts to install high-speed internet connectivity in new multi-family homes and those apartments, condominium, and townhome complexes built in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s have improved properties by creating a capital improvement to hundreds of apartment communities and homeowners’ associations in the form of significantly improved technological infrastructure, all at no cost to the homeowners or owner/managers.
“People want to know their broadband options when going into a new home,” said Chase Rydberg, General Manager for Arvig’s Multiwav internet service in the Twin Cities region. “Arvig’s broadband Multiwav service is prepaid, and rates are locked in with no additional fees, offering customers maximum flexibility for their data needs. Right now, it is important to keep everyone online with people working from home and distance learning,” he added.
To begin service, all customers must do is contact Arvig to start a pre-paid monthly internet service. The base Multiwav plan costs $40 per month and offers symmetrical 100 megabits per second download/upload speeds, faster data-streaming capabilities than the 20th-century copper or coaxial cable systems offered by other telecommunications providers. Because Arvig’s technology has previously been installed, no onsite visit from a telecommunications technician to install a DSL modem or other technology is required to activate service. Arvig’s Multiwav product for townhomes, condominiums and apartments is all automated. One simply visits multiwav.arvig.com or dials 612.900.1900 to start service.
Arvig does not have data caps. Arvig currently provides broadband service to more than 51,000 customers in 52 different counties and nearly 200 different communities across the state of Minnesota. Approximately 6,500 of those customers are businesses, including more than 700 medical facilities and 300 school systems.
