300 Mbps Internet Speeds Now Available in TDS Fiber Optic Footprint

MADISON, WI — TDS Telecommunications introduced 300 Mbps Internet service in parts of Tennessee, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Minnesota. The 300 Mbps speed is available to customers in select areas within the company’s fiber optic footprint. Earlier this year, TDS announced availability of 100 Mbps Internet service.

Achieving Fiberville Status
In addition to launching 300 Mbps Internet speeds, TDS announces TDS TV is now available in the Hollis, N.H. area and to an expanded portion of the Halls, Tenn. community. In both of these communities, TDS is also bringing Fiberville. The concept rewards residents and neighborhoods with special offers and discounts once 15 percent of the neighborhood pre-registers for TDS TV service. When this happens, Fiberville status is achieved and each pre-registered household can choose an upgrade—free HD or Internet speed upgrade — for life.

TDS continues to upgrade its fiber optic network to deliver the bandwidth customers want and need. The new 300 Mbps Internet is available alone or as part of a TDS TV bundle. Powered by Mediaroom, TDS TV features more than 260 all-digital channels (including HD), video-on-demand, pay-per-view, picture-in-picture channel surfing, and instant channel change. It also includes a Connected-Home DVR, which links all TVs together in a home giving full DVR functionality to each set-top box. Wireless set-top boxes are also available.

Free Remote PC Support
Included with TDS’ new 300 Mbps high-speed Internet service is Remote PC Support. In addition to receiving unlimited access to technical support, Remote PC Support provides assistance with device setup, computer cleanup, PC optimization, advanced Internet troubleshooting, and wireless device configuration.

In Hollis, TDS plans to begin the first neighborhood installations of TDS TV and 300 Mbps in January; installations in remaining neighborhoods should begin sometime this spring. Residents can get updates on when TDS TV and 300 Mbps will be available in their community, as well as track their neighborhood’s progress toward Fiberville status, at TDSfiber.com.

In 2014 TDS plans to continue expanding TDS TV to other N.H. communities including New London, Andover, Boscawen and Salisbury.
