Coralville residents and businesses will soon have access to fiber-optic internet service.
In a release from the city, they announced that two companies plan to extend fiber-to-the-home internet services; ImOn Communications, based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and MetroNet, based in Evansville, Indiana, are starting construction this year.
Direct fiber connections bring newer technology, faster speeds, reduced slowdowns during peak hours, and increased reliability throughout the community.
The network will be built through Coralville, but not to homes and businesses. Residents and businesses can opt to get connected to services from MetroNet or ImOn Communications. Both companies indicated that fiber-to-home service will be made available as individual areas are built out, but full build-out of Coralville won’t be completed until sometime in 2023.
Residents and businesses in construction areas will receive communications from MetroNet and ImOn Communications, including mail and yard signs, before work begins in their area.

Additional planned construction areas will be added on an ongoing basis as plans develop. Maps will be shared as they become available.
