At least one town is so irked by Comcast’s new internet service cap that it’s looking into starting a municipal internet option.
On Thursday, Feb. 11, the creation of a Municipal Fiber Task Force to study implementing an internet network throughout Agawam was announced by Mayor William P. Sapelli.
Sapelli said that a town-owned and managed network is just one option Agawam will explore as an alternative to Comcast. The town could also partner with a third party to provide service, make another arrangement, or not change anything at all.
Among the factors that will be studied by the task force are costs and service impact on residents.
