Wisconsin fiber optic company TDS Metrocom meets with Billings officials, plans to compete with Spectrum
TDS is currently building a fiber optic network in Spokane, Washington and Coeur De Alene, Idaho. If Billings grants approval, it would be the first city in Montana to get fiber optic telecom lines, something council members see as a future selling point.
A Wisconsin-based fiber optic broadband company has approached the City of Billings about setting up a network in town.
TDS Metrocom would install roughly 500 miles of fiber optic line across most of Billings, from the West End to the Heights, over the course of about three years. The lines would bring a combination of high-speed internet, cable and phone service to individual homes and businesses, competing directly with Spectrum, which provides those services over traditional cable lines.
