Midco is now offering its DOCSIS 3.1-based Midco Xstream Gig Internet service in Watertown, SD, and five surrounding communities. The 1 Gbps service is available to both residential and business customers.
Midco's first DOCSIS 3.1 deployment was in Fargo, ND, in March, followed by other deployments in the Dakotas and Minnesota, most recently in and around Spearfish, SD. Early deployments have used CCAP gear from Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and modems from ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) and Hitron Technologies. Midco plans to add other vendors' DOCSIS 3.1 modems as they become available.
Midco Xstream Gig is now available to more than 70% of its customers. The company's goal is to reach 80% of its footprint by the end of the year.
