"The fastest Internet speeds in the market are now available to the DC area where reliable, uninterrupted and high performance speed is in high demand," said Sanford Ames, Jr., senior vice president and general manager of RCN DC Metro. "We recognize our customer's need for speed is getting stronger with multiple devices, over-the-top (OTT) video content, smart homes and more. By integrating the newest technologies, RCN remains unrivalled in DC innovation."
