About MINET Fiber

What is MINET ? MINET, short for Monmouth Independence Network, is a municipally owned fiber to the home provider of data and voice services in Polk County Oregon. The initial idea for bringing high speed broadband services to our area was developed by Monmouth City Manager Jeff Hecksel prior to 1998. In response to the incumbent providers’ refusal to upgrade aging infrastructure and provide adequate services to the community, Monmouth conducted a feasibility study about providing local institutional services and businesses with broadband services. Shortly after, Independence was added to the concept. In 2000 and 2001 Monmouth built the first fiber optic loop and acquired rights to access the Internet. In 2002 MINET was formed as an ORS190 through an Intergovernmental Agreement between the cities of Monmouth and Independence. In this year Monmouth built the main connections to the Internet backbone. The primary loop in Independence was constructed. Phase II of the project extended services to all local homes and businesses. Phase II was completed in 2006. MINET has been providing excellent services since 2006. Always looking to innovate, it has some exciting news on the horizon! What do we do ?
