Thanks to a $24,000 grant from the state and over 18 months of hard work by Monrovia city staff, the Monrovia Public Library now has high-speed broadband and Wi-Fi internet connections. In fact, internet speeds at the Monrovia Library are now 10-times faster than what they were in the past.
Before the switch, the Library had internet access speeds of 100 Mbps for both upload and download services. Now, with the CENIC connection, the Library has 1 Gbps internet speeds, which is much faster. In fact, 1 Gbps is equal to 1,000 Mbps. This means that the Library can now accommodate more users streaming at once without encountering any buffering related issues.
The CENIC Broadband initiative is a statewide program that supports high speed networks in public libraries, schools, and universities. The Library is thrilled to have received this grant and to have the opportunity to provide even better service for the community. Visit the Library for some incredibly fast internet for all to share.
