WASHINGTON, June 4, 2025 – Midcontinent Communications announced Tuesday its acquisition of Savage Communications Inc. Broadband, advancing its mission of providing fiber-optic networks in areas in the upper Midwest. 

SCI Broadband,[ a privately owned Multiple Systems Operator, has served more than 90 rural communities throughout east central and northern Minnesota.](https://scibroadband.com/about/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) 

SCI Broadband President and Founder **Ron Savage** said in recent years he had been uncertain of the future of the company and ultimately decided the best path forward for SCI Broadband was to sell to a company with shared values. 

“I found that in Midco,” **Savage**[ stated](https://midco.com/news-and-events/20252/june/tuesday-june-03-2025/midco-to-acquire-sci-broadband/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com). 

Through its $500 million Fiber Forward Investment, Midco has provided many homes in the Midwest with fiber-optic broadband. Through its [Fiber Forward Initiative,](https://midco.com/fiber-forward/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) Midco’s fiber network is ready to lay up to 22,000 miles throughout the Midwest.

Through this acquisition, Midco will further expand high-speed internet throughout the rural Midwest, especially in parts of Minnesota, a state eager to close the digital divide through the [Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment initiative](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/minnesota-keep-bead-fast-and-grounded-in-local-expertise/). 

“Ron and his team have built a great company, and we look forward to achieving Ron's vision under the Midco name,” said Midco Chair & CEO **Pat McAdaragh**.

Midco and SCI Broadband hope to provide customers with the fastest possible internet.
