CenturyLink completes upgrades in Lyons

LYONS – CenturyLink Inc. announced Tuesday that it has completed a revamp and upgrade of its broadband network in Lyons after the September flood wiped out much of the small town’s infrastructure.

The company announced in November that it would be making major upgrades as it repaired its network.

Residents can now purchase service with a maximum of 40 megabit-per-second download speeds, compared to the maximum 12 MB-per-second available to Lyons customers before. The 40 MB-per-second service is available for $29.95 per month for 12 months if customers sign up for auto pay, or $34.95 per month for 12 months without auto pay.
