Midco Invests $30 Million in Next-Gen Fiber in Kansas

Midco is leaping ahead with Fiber Forward, an investment that uses the company’s robust fiber network and next-gen fiber tech to bring 10 Gigabit speeds to Lawrence (KS) and its surrounding communities. Over the next few years, more than 65,000 homes and businesses in Kansas will benefit from the future-proof $30 million investment. Fiber Forward will begin this year in Basehor, Eudora and Lawrence to deliver fiber upgrades, enhanced product offerings and increased performance. The upgrade is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. “Broadband deployment and improvement are critical for the future of Kansas and can unlock new opportunities for our state,” said Sen Jerry Moran (R-KS). “The investment Midco announced today to upgrade its networks in Kansas will provide a new generation of broadband service for businesses and create new opportunities to innovate and connect.”
