MCC Network Services, LLC (Conxxus) Acquires MTCO Communications
[Sullivan, IL, January 6, 2026]
MCC Network Services, LLC (doing business as “Metro” and “Conxxus”) today announced the successful acquisition of MTCO Communications. The acquisition follows MTCO Communications’ decision to sell the company and reflects Metro’s ongoing commitment to expanding high-quality fiber internet access and telecommunications services while supporting the growth and sustainability of the communities it serves.
Metro’s purchase of MTCO aligns with the company’s mission and vision to deliver top-rated, locally focused voice, video, and internet service while investing in small-town growth and long-term infrastructure expansion. By bringing MTCO into the Metro family, the company is reinforcing its dedication to increasing access, reliability, and service excellence throughout MTCO’s existing service network.
"As communities continue to grow and rely more heavily on high-speed connectivity, access to reliable fiber internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity," said Lauren Bennett, Conxxus Marketing Manager. "This acquisition reflects our shared values with MTCO and our commitment to strengthening local networks while delivering the high-quality service Metro is known for."
At this time, MTCO’s offices in Metamora and Marseilles will remain open, ensuring continuity for customers and communities. Over the coming months, Metro will work alongside MTCO team members to strategically evaluate service quality, expand offerings, and increase availability throughout the service area.
MTCO customers can expect ongoing communication as Metro evaluates future enhancements and service opportunities.
Metro provides all fiber-telecommunications services in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, serving enterprise, carrier, small business and consumer markets with products like dark fiber, wavelengths, point-to-point, IP transit, and enhanced voice. Operating as Conxxus since 2016, Metro offers Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) to over 200 communities, delivering reliable optical networks and quality service from local team members, and will continue its commitment to excellence for the customers of MTCO.
