BERLIN, CT — Local dignitaries and company officials were on hand this week to celebrate the grand opening of new, high-speed internet provider in town.

GoNetspeed Wednesday celebrated the official grand opening of the company’s Berlin facility.

GoNetspeed’s Berlin construction project began in 2021 and has developed rapidly, providing access to high-speed 100 percent fiber internet to thousands of residents and businesses, welcoming more than 50 new jobs to serve the area.

GoNetspeed’s warehouse is located at 24 New Park Drive, Berlin, and is the primary command center for the company’s locally based construction, human resources and field tech teams.

GoNetspeed serves communities throughout the area including Berlin, Bristol, Bloomfield, Farmington, Glastonbury, New Britain, Newington, Plainville, Southington, Waterbury, Wethersfield, West Hartford and Windsor.

As far as Berlin is concerned, town officials said the company's opening represents good economic development news in town.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to celebrate GoNetspeed’s first physical location in Berlin, serving the greater Hartford area,” said Berlin Mayor Mark Kaczynski. “GoNetspeed has rapidly expanded construction, bringing high-speed fiber internet to Berlin and much of the surrounding area.

"GoNetspeed has created many good-paying jobs and has plans to create many more in the coming months, supporting our growing workforce, residents and businesses as they create a permanent presence in our community.”

Company officials were equally pleased.

“As we continue to expand service, it is vital for GoNetspeed to have a physical home to support construction and field tech teams that serve Berlin and the surrounding area. Today we are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of our Berlin facility, proof of our investment in the area and plans for future growth,” said Richard Clark, GoNetspeed President and CEO.
