BETTENDORF, Iowa — Another Quad City has been declared gigabit-certified by Metronet and is set to officially receive the designation in a city council meeting Tuesday night.
Bettendorf is the latest city to receive the gigabit status from Metronet, following Davenport's certification in mid-October.
The internet provider declares the certifications after a majority of a city's residents and businesses are able to access the company's gigabit-speed (1,000 megabytes per second) fiber optic internet service.
Metronet took hold in Davenport in 2019, going on to build over 980 million miles of fiber optic cable in just that city alone. Since then, it has spread out into the other Quad Cities.
The declaration will be made official at the Nov. 1 Bettendorf City Council meeting.
