Minnesota-based US Internet (USI) plans to add 2.5 and 5 Gbps service options to its FTTH Internet service portfolio beginning in the first quarter of 2016, laying a new challenge to incumbent telco and cable operators CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL) and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) in Minneapolis.
Set on serving a mix of consumer and business customers, the service provider will deliver the new tiers via its Active Ethernet platform.
