MCTV’s Excellerate Serves 1000 Customers

MASSILLON, Ohio (August 30, 2018) – MCTV, a leading Internet, TV and Phone provider in Stark and Wayne counties, hit the 1000-mile mark and now serves more than 1000 customers with Excellerate’s fiber-to-the-home Internet technology.

The Excellerate project officially launched in June of 2017.  The project rapidly progressed and has already reached a major milestone. Excellerate uses a fiber-to-the-home technology paired to provide symmetrical download and upload speeds. Symmetrical speeds up to 100 Mbps let users stream smoother, game harder and surf faster – especially heavy Internet users. Excellerate empowers customers do all these things at the same time, without sacrificing performance.

“Our MCTV technicians have spent countless hours working diligently in the field to build Excellerate in order to deliver the best Internet experience for our customers,” said Robert Gessner, President of MCTV. “We now have more than 1000 miles of fiber built and have more than 1000 Excellerate customers throughout Stark and Wayne counties. This is a proud day for MCTV and a huge accomplishment for the entire team. Hitting 1000 miles and customers exemplifies our dedication to providing high quality experiences for our customers, today and into the future.”

Excellerate is currently available to customers in select areas and will eventually be available across nearly the entire MCTV footprint.
