(Chelsea Update would like to thank Gary Munce for the information in this story.)
In 2018, Lyndon Township entered a 5-year contract with Midwest Energy and Communications (MEC) to provide internet services.
The 5-year term of the contract was designed to provide the opportunity to review the service and pricing options available in the current broadband marketplace to ensure we are receiving the best possible services and pricing.
As we near the end of our current contract, the Township Broadband Oversight Committee is undertaking a review of our current contract and requesting information from other qualified providers interested in working with us.
This opportunity will allow us to explore our options to ensure we can continue to have the best possible service at an affordable price. Any potential benefits from new providers will be weighed against the potential disruption of switching providers, and renewing the contract with MEC is a possible outcome of this activity.
At the Nov. 15 meeting of the Lyndon Broadband meeting there will be an update on the status of the contract review process.
