STRATFORD, CT — Construction is underway for GoNetspeed’s $7 million build in Stratford to deliver 100 percent fiber internet access to more than 12,400 homes and businesses in town, officials announced this week.

“With infrastructure built to support multi-gigabit speeds, GoNetspeed’s ultra-fast fiber internet is expected to begin connecting consumers later this fall, delivering more Connecticut residents the power of reliable, next-generation connectivity,” officials wrote in the news release.
