WINFIELD, Kan. — Super-fast fiber internet service will soon be available to hundreds of Winfield families and businesses, thanks to IdeaTek.
The Buhler-based internet company will begin construction in late August. By fall, IdeaTek will begin delivering unlimited and uncapped speeds of up to 2.5 gigabits per second to the city’s first few neighborhoods. IdeaTek's 100-percent fiber investment of nearly $6.5 million will connect over 5,200 homes and businesses to fiber.
Investment in fiber is a scalable solution for Kansas’ future growth. While some providers use the term “Fiber-Powered” to hide the fact that they are using outdated technology, IdeaTek invests in true fiber connections to offer symmetrical upload and download speeds, enhanced reliability and scalable capacities for the city of Winfield. IdeaTek also provides more affordable pricing compared to current, often less reliable, service providers in the city.
“At IdeaTek, our mission is to bring Internet Freedom to every part of Kansas by delivering high-speed fiber internet where it’s needed most,” said Daniel Friesen, IdeaTek’s co-founder and chief innovation officer. “True fiber internet is the gold standard in connectivity, laying the groundwork for innovation, creativity and progress in today’s digital world.
“We're thrilled to make this a reality in Winfield, ensuring all residents have access to the best technology for high-speed broadband.”
Building fiber infrastructure takes time, but residents will soon look forward to:
Symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 2.5 gigabits per second
Unlimited data with no throttling or lag time
No annual contracts
Friendly, Kansas-based customer support
