100 Mbps to My Desk

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

100MbpsToMyDesk.jpgWell, I only went with 4 Mbps. However, I understand that a number of downtown businesses have gone with 10 Mbps and one business is at 50 Mbps.

100 Mbps to your desktop IS available to businesses in Downtown Northfield.

I’m not anything near an expert on this topic. What I understand is that you can get internet service that is as fast as anything available in the world…in Downtown Northfield.
