Metronet announced that construction of its ultra-high-speed 100 percent fiber optic network has officially begun in Daytona. Metronet’s fully funded multimillion-dollar investment will provide residents and businesses throughout the city with access to Metronet’s future-proof fiber optic internet. Upon completion of the construction plan, Daytona will join the country’s internet elite as a Certified Gigabit City.
Construction has begun near the intersection of South Clyde Morrie Boulevard and Madeline Avenue and will expand rapidly throughout the community with the first customers expected to be connected by the summer of 2023. As construction progresses, customers may sign up for presale to indicate their interest and prioritize service installation once available.

“As we make swift progress to bring multi-gigabit, ultra-high-speed fiber optic internet to homes and businesses throughout Daytona, we look forward to seeing the impact of our network on yet another community in the Sunshine State,” said Bill Gilliam, Metronet’s Florida General Manager. “As home of the Daytona 500, this community knows the importance of speed and competition. With more bandwidth and competitive pricing, Metronet will equip Daytona with the fastest speeds available while boosting the city’s business retention and economic development.”
Daytona residents will begin seeing Metronet trucks throughout the area as construction activities expand throughout the community. Residents will receive communication by mail about construction activity in their neighborhood 30 days prior to starting. Additional messaging, such as yard signs, will also be provided to notify residents of when construction is beginning in their neighborhood. Metronet crews are identified by ID tags and branded Metronet vehicles.
