Brightspeed Fiber Internet Now Available in Six States

Brightspeed, the nation’s fifth-largest incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC), announced it has officially started selling its gigabit internet service via its newly built next-generation Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network just six months after officially launching as a standalone company. Homes and small businesses in parts of Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that previously had limited high-speed broadband internet options can now subscribe to Brightspeed Fiber Internet, the company’s newly launched XGS-PON (10-Gigabit-capable Symmetric Passive Optical Network) fiber broadband service. This launch represents the first phase of Brightspeed’s high-speed fiber deployment. The company plans to reach 1 million homes and small businesses by the end of 2023.
