IdeaTek is bringing gigabit fiber internet to Goodland

Goodland, Kansas – A faster, more connected future is coming to Goodland. IdeaTek is making a $3 million investment to deliver a blazing-fast, 100% fiber network to the city, setting a new standard of connectivity.

The Buhler-based internet provider will deliver unlimited, uncapped speeds of up to 2.5 gigabits per second — cutting-edge performance that is far beyond what other providers can offer. The project will give 2,200 homes and businesses the reliability and bandwidth they need for generations to come.

Construction in the first few zones of the project are almost complete, with the first neighborhoods connecting later this month. The entire project is on track to be completed in about six months. Residents can learn more about IdeaTek’s services and pricing at ideatek.com.

Unlike some providers that use terms like “Fiber-Powered” to disguise outdated technology, IdeaTek delivers true 100% fiber connections. Fiber offers symmetrical speeds, unmatched reliability, and scalable capacity—all at more affordable pricing than many existing providers.

“At IdeaTek, we’re committed to bringing our high-speed fiber internet to every corner of Kansas, and we’re excited to make it a reality in Goodland,” said Daniel Friesen, IdeaTek’s co-founder and chief innovation officer. “True fiber internet is the gold standard in internet connectivity. We believe everyone deserves the best possible online experience, whether you’re casually browsing or online gaming. Our fiber network delivers unparalleled reliability. IdeaTek’s ultimate goal is to provide fiber to all Kansas residents because fiber is hands-down the best technology for high-speed broadband.”

Friesen added, “We’re so confident you will prefer our service over others that we don’t require contracts. We’ll provide you with the best service, so we’re not worried about you leaving.”
