Surf Internet and MiSignal Joining Forces to Expand Fiber-Optic Broadband in Eastern Michigan

Surf Internet has entered into an agreement to acquire the fiber-optic network assets of Howell-based MiSignal. Surf has made significant investments in Livingston County, Michigan, and now with the purchase of MiSignal’s fiber-optic broadband network, will significantly expand those efforts. The company has plans to invest an additional $20 million in Livingston County over the next three years to expand the fiber-optic network, reaching over 18,000 rural households. MiSignal is a high-speed, fiber-optic internet service provider in eastern Michigan offering symmetrical gigabit internet speeds to residential and commercial customers. The MiSignal team shares Surf Internet’s vision to provide exceptional customer service and connectivity. All MiSignal team members will join the Surf Internet team as part of the transaction. MiSignal’s business phone system services and customers are not a part of the acquisition and will continue to operate under the MiSignal name. Current MiSignal internet service and residential voice customers will continue to receive the same pricing, products, and customer support they have been accustomed to. In addition, Surf Internet will continue to operate and maintain MiSignal’s East Michigan office in Howell. Close of the acquisition is pending local approvals, anticipated to happen over the next few weeks. Once the acquisition has been fully executed, customers will have access to new products and improved network management capabilities, as well as Surf’s expanded customer service capabilities.
