December 27, 2025, 10:46 AM EST. Minooka Village is expanding its fiber optic network as Surf Internet holds a ceremonial groundbreaking (indoors due to cold) at the Minooka Village Hall. Surf Internet, a telecom provider focusing on rural and underserved Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, plans to lay fiber using boring methods to bring high-speed gigabit service to residents and businesses. The company, founded in 1999, now employs over 300 and serves more than 600 communities; it currently operates in Coal City. City officials say the project will increase competition and give customers more broadband options at reasonable prices. Surf's team emphasizes that customers won't have equipment on private property until service is ordered. Once completed, Minooka could become a true GIG city with enhanced connectivity.
