Open-access fiber

Open-access fiber means that one shared network is available to multiple internet service providers (ISPs), giving residents and businesses the power to choose who delivers their internet. Instead of being locked into a single provider, communities benefit from competition, transparency, and flexibility. Open access is important because it:
  • Creates choice: Multiple ISPs can compete for your business on the same high-quality network.
  • Encourages better pricing: Competition keeps costs fair and affordable.
  • Improves service quality: Providers work harder to deliver strong customer support and reliable performance.
  • Expands access: More households and businesses can get connected, even in underserved areas.
  • Builds resilience: A shared infrastructure strengthens communities and ensures long-term sustainability

A Message from the CEO

“Following on the success of our ConnectALL pilot project in Nichols, NY, Southern Tier Network will be able to provide open-access networks directly to residential customers in our region. We’re excited about what this means for families and small businesses in rural towns across the Southern Tier.”

It’s not a secret anymore.

We still operate and lease bandwidth through our dark fiber network infrastructure.
But now we’re also available for residential customers.
