Internet connection upgrade!

REMC1 now has a 10G link to Merit!

We actually have both the new 10G link and the original 1G link active, for redundant diverse fiber connections from us to Merit’s backbone in Houghton, and Merit has redundant links from Houghton, so we should have more reliable Internet from now on.

Thank you for your patience as we’ve performed this major upgrades to continue to improve service, capacity, and reliability for you.
