A new internet provider is coming to the Albert Lea area. GigFire (formerly LTD Broadband), is bringing a 7,800 passing fiber network, according to the company, which boasts, fiber optic networks will provide a faster more reliable high-speed internet, compared to cable networks that can have limited upload speeds. The company started their fiber optic network in Albert Lea this month, and they’ve been working to build the mainline in Albert Lea, with hopes of finishing the project in early fall. When completed, the network will cover 90 to 95% of Albert Lea.
