The company will offer connection speeds of up to 40 Mbps as part of CenturyLink’s commitment to bring broadband to rural areas of Nebraska. High-speed Internet access brings many benefits to rural communities, including economic development and better access to education and healthcare services, such as distance learning and telemedicine. The Chadron State Park area, located eight miles south of Chadron, and the Bordeaux Road area, located three miles east of Chadron, will benefit from the upcoming expansion. Depending on location, a variety of speeds may be available.
