As the new year begins, Royell is now set to launch this service in several communities. Auburn now has beta customers and will be followed by Waverly, Virden, Girard, Farmersville, Palmyra, Carlinville, Shipman, Bunker Hill, Gillespie, Litchfield, Hillsboro, Irving, Nokomis, and Raymond.
     The coverage area will be a 7 mile radius from each community with Motorola promising greater distances with firmware updates in the near future. Download speeds up to 6 Mbps sustained will be offered. (Don't confuse 'sustained' speeds with 'burst' speeds advertised by others.)
     Most of the buildout in Macoupin and Montgomery County is part of the State of Illinois funded Vince Demuzio Broadband network (VDBnet). Additional communities are planned upon completion of the VDBnet infrastructure. Watch for flyers and ads as we begin customer installations in each community. Call our office at 217-965-3699 or 217-697-2333 for more information.
