This month Integra Telecom continues to make news. Progress on featured services such as Ethernet over copper (EOC) are astounding. Integra’s dedication to get Ethernet to as many customers as possible is becoming a reality.

Integra will continue to deliver EoC services in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 Mbps increments and with Overture, possibly reach 100 Mbps.
