About Metronet in Georgia

Metronet is a 100% fiber-optic internet provider headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. The company has been rapidly expanding across the Midwest and Southeast, building its own fiber network from scratch in each community it enters. Georgia represents one of Metronet's newest expansion markets, with the company targeting fast-growing suburban communities in the Atlanta metro where fiber infrastructure is still being built out for the first time. Many Georgia neighborhoods previously only had access to cable or DSL. Georgia's rapid growth, particularly in the Atlanta metro, has created strong demand for fiber broadband. Suburban communities south and east of Atlanta are among the fastest-growing in the nation.

Metronet's approach in Georgia differs from incumbent cable providers in a fundamental way: the company builds 100% fiber-optic infrastructure from the ground up rather than upgrading existing cable or copper networks. This means every Metronet connection in Georgia runs on modern fiber designed for today's bandwidth demands, delivering symmetrical upload and download speeds that cable technology cannot match. For Georgia households with multiple remote workers, gamers, or streamers, symmetrical fiber eliminates the upload bottleneck that plagues cable connections.

Founded in Evansville, Indiana, Metronet has grown into one of the largest independently owned fiber providers in the United States. The company's expansion into Georgia is part of a broader push across the Southeast and Midwest, targeting communities where residents have limited fiber options. In Georgia, Metronet typically enters new markets by partnering with local municipalities, securing construction permits, and building fiber infrastructure neighborhood by neighborhood over a period of months. Georgia residents in upcoming build areas can pre-register on Metronet's website to receive notification when service becomes available.
