Gateway Fiber debuts 2 Gbps symmetrical fiber broadband service

The new multi-gig product is part of a broader effort to increase internet speeds for its customer base.

Gateway Fiber has heeded the call for faster broadband speeds by introducing a 2 Gbps symmetrical tier and increasing speeds on two existing packages.

Designed for heavy gamers and those who work from home and need to upload and download large files quickly, customers looking for speeds faster than 1 Gbps can now choose the new 2 Gbps service.

Gateway Fiber's multi-gig fiber internet service will be available to residential immediately and business customers by early October.

For existing customers, the speed increases happened automatically and with no increase in their monthly rate. The 250 Mbps speed tier increased to 300 Mbps, while the 500 Mbps jumped to 600 Mbps. New customers will receive the benefit of faster speeds for the same simple, flat-rate price.

Gateway Fiber's multi-gig fiber internet service will be available to residential immediately and business customers by early October.

"The launch of these new speeds is a testament to our commitment to bringing more value to our customers,” said Chris Surdo, Gateway Fiber's President. “At a time when other internet providers are raising rates, we are increasing speeds instead."
