URBANA, Ill. (WAND) - Internet service provider Volo hosted a groundbreaking celebration on Tuesday for its rural fiber internet project in Urbana.
One farmer said the faster, more reliable internet will serve people like him in more ways than one.
"Being able to bid online at auctions, or sell grain and keep better records in terms of being able to have fewer delays, fewer drops and things like that," said Scott Bidner.
Volo said the five-year project will have three phases and bring fiber internet to nearly 3,000 homes in Champaign County.
