TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) has launched TDS Fiber service in Watertown, marking a milestone in the company’s construction of a high-speed, all-fiber internet network. The first Watertown customers, Robert and Barbara Schuett, were connected to super-fast reliable internet on Friday, Aug. 18.
Since breaking ground last spring, crews have worked to build a network that features internet speeds up to 8Gig, plus TV and phone service. Service becomes available neighborhood by neighborhood as work is completed.
Approximately 9,300 homes and businesses are expected to have access to TDS service when construction is finished.
