IQ Fiber Launches Service in Gainesville, Florida
April 29 2024 - 2:17PM
IQ Fiber, North Florida’s only local residential fiber-optic
internet service provider, has activated its network in Gainesville
and will begin serving its first customers in the area. IQ Fiber’s
initial investment in Gainesville and Alachua County is now
estimated at $50 million and represents the company’s accelerated
growth beyond Jacksonville.
“IQ Fiber is bringing high-speed internet to a community that is
in desperate need of it,” said Gainesville City Commissioner Bryan
Eastman, whose district includes the first network area. “We’ve had
a lack of competition in our area for decades, which means
expensive, slow internet and no options for our residents. I’m
excited to see new fiber infrastructure bringing modern, fiber
speed broadband that’s been lacking for so long.”
Headquartered in Jacksonville with a new office
in Gainesville, IQ Fiber is deploying its network across Alachua,
Duval, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns counties. Since it began
operations in 2021, IQ Fiber has built more than 1,500 miles –
almost 8 million feet – of fiber-optic network across North
Florida. The company has 135 local employees serving customers in
the Jacksonville and Gainesville areas.
“We are excited to launch our Gainesville
network and bring the first modern, reliable and customer-friendly
internet choice to the community,” said Ted Schremp, CEO of IQ
Fiber. “In just two years, we have established a significant
presence across our home in North Florida and delivered on our
promise to simplify and deliver a personal customer experience in a
way that no other provider has been able to achieve.”
IQ Fiber is closing the gap between available
fiber-optic internet and residents in North Florida. IQ Fiber’s
100% fiber-optic network is capable of symmetrical speeds of up to
10 gigabits per second and is far superior to telephone or
cable-based internet. The IQ Fiber network consists of underground
conduit and fiber-optic cables extending from the core internet
backbone directly into individual homes, allowing for the fastest
internet speeds available while supporting the explosive growth in
internet usage and demand.
IQ Fiber offers simple month-to-month rates with
no fees, surcharges or surprise price increases. IQ Fiber delivers
symmetrical speeds along with whole-home Wi-Fi service and a simple
app to manage the ever-growing number of Wi-Fi devices in the
home.
