GoNetspeed’s Senior Director of Operations, Chris Brooks, spoke at the Philadelphia Regional Fiber Connect this week on a panel of fiber experts — representing a broadband company leading the way in expanding accessibility as the Northeast’s largest independently owned fiber network builder.
During “The Community Connection: How Fiber Impacts Economics and Opportunity” panel, Brooks shared insights into fiber-optic internet as the digital infrastructure of the future, and how these infrastructures are driving economic growth and creating new opportunities while transforming communities.
Brooks expressed on the panel, “We have seen that communities thrive when they are given a choice in their provider, especially when that new choice is a high-speed fiber provider. Quality provider choice has become a necessity for nearly every community, and GoNetspeed is working to close the gap for many communities throughout our footprint.”
Brooks’ insights included GoNetspeed’s emphasis on fully-funded infrastructure builds to support community development without requiring any taxpayer dollars, plus increased reliability for work, school, streaming, gaming, and every aspect of the daily online experience.
“We believe access to our future-proof, symmetrical fiber internet enhances the quality of life in education, retention, and economic development throughout the communities we serve for years to come,” expressed Brooks.
Fiber-optic internet boosts economic development by attracting and retaining new residents, businesses and industries to communities that can boast fiber infrastructure. A reliable, high-speed internet connection is more essential than ever for individual and community-wide growth.
GoNetspeed continues to ensure that more communities throughout the Northeast have access to a high-speed 100% fiber internet infrastructure. Currently, more than 200 communities throughout GoNetspeed’s footprint have access to GoNetspeed’s service, along with many communities that are well on their way to having access to GoNetspeed’s fiber internet.
With a legacy of innovation and a commitment to customer service, GoNetspeed is accelerating the expansion of its fiber networks across nine states. GoNetspeed continues to deliver more fiber, more access, more speed, and better reliability to residents and businesses throughout our footprint. With access to 100% fiber internet, customers have access to symmetrical upload and download speeds, ranging from 500 Mbps to 2 Gbps. Learn more about GoNetspeed at gonetspeed.com.
