Open-access fiber

Think of STN as the road and your internet provider as the car you choose to drive on it.

STN builds and maintains the fiber network. Multiple internet companies can use that same network to offer service to homes and businesses.

That means you aren’t limited to one internet company. You can choose the provider, price, and service that works best for you.

More choice
Choose from multiple internet providers instead of being limited to just one.
Better prices
When providers compete for your business, you have more options on price.
Better service
Competition gives providers another reason to offer reliable internet and helpful customer service.
More homes connected
A shared fiber network makes it easier to bring internet service to rural and underserved areas.
A network built for the future
One strong fiber network can serve the community for years to come.

STN isn't just for businesses anymore.

For years, Southern Tier Network has provided fiber services to businesses and organizations across the region.

Now we’re bringing that same fiber network to homes.
