Duluth, MN expands high-speed Internet access with pilot of Duluth Fiber network in Lincoln Park
The city's Digital Access Master Plan sets the goal of reliable and affordable access for every resident by 2028. The Duluth Fiber network will first connect to 1,900 homes and businesses in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. This project provides open access to service providers, thus creating competition for subscribers that should decrease monthly costs. A one-year pilot will evaluate user experiences and determine interest in high-speed Internet access in other neighborhoods.
