Pzazz first in Burlington to get LISCO?s one gig internet service

BURLINGTON - LISCO is pleased to announce that Pzazz is the first LISCO customer in Burlington to get 1 Gig Internet/data services. Most LISCO fiber optic customers are happy to use up to 100 megabits per second data speeds, but Pzazz now gets ten times that with 1 Gig Internet. That means Pzazz gets speeds up to 1000 megabits per second. Scott Anderson, IT Director for Pzazz says, ?Pzazz is delighted to be on the cutting edge of telecommunications technology in Burlington. With LISCO fiber optics, we have the phone and data technology we need, not just now, but well into the future.?

LISCO Vice President, Linda Stallone said, ?Five years ago, Pzazz was one of LISCO?s first fiber optic phone and data customers in Burlington getting speeds up to 100mbps. Pzazz is once again first with the fastest internet speeds available anywhere in the US.? Significant improvements in LISCO?s local central office in Burlington allow LISCO to deliver the 1 Gig internet/data service. This is the same internet service that Google popularized with its experimental 1 Gig installations, such as Kansas City.

LISCO serves customers throughout Southeast Iowa. More than 12,000 customers over the past 20 years have used LISCO for their internet connections, including major businesses, utility companies, banks, police departments, schools, libraries, city and county governments. Internet service is an essential component in the future economic development of Southeast Iowa, and LISCO is the major independent ISP in this market. LISCO two-way gigabit fiber has steadily spread throughout numerous southeast Iowa towns who, like Burlington, will experience the fastest data speeds anywhere in the U.S.
