“We are fully committed to bringing our affordable, reliable, high-speed fiber-optic broadband services to residents and businesses across Northern Illinois, and we are looking forward to working alongside community leaders as we complete this latest expansion in Love’s Park,” said Bill Shreffler, chief operating officer, i3 Broadband. “Whether they’re primarily using the internet for work, school or family life, we know that customers in Love’s Park and across Greater Rockford are looking for choice when it comes to their broadband service. We are thrilled to be getting to work to meet that demand.”
i3 Broadband began the early stages of launching services in and through Love’s Park in late April. The company is aiming to activate a total of approximately 14,200 passings in Greater Rockford, including several thousand in Love’s Park, by the end of 2024.
