Southern Tier Network builds and maintains the fiber infrastructure. Your ISP takes care of you directly.
In most service areas, installation is typically scheduled within 1-3 business days.
Once construction is complete in your neighborhood, you’ll receive notification that service is ready and can move forward with installation scheduling.
You pay your monthly bill directly to the Internet Service Provider you selected.
There is only one bill.
Southern Tier Network does not send you a separate invoice. Your ISP handles all billing. There are no contracts.
We are locally built and locally invested.
Southern Tier Network is a nonprofit, open-access fiber network serving the Southern Tier. We were created to strengthen our region, not to extract profit from it.
What that means for you:
- You choose your ISP
- Local infrastructure investment stays in our communities
- Built for long term reliability and growth
- Designed to support homes, businesses, schools, and healthcare
We live here. We work here. We are building this for our community.
Our Team
We are more than a fiber network, we are your neighbors. Our team lives here, works here, and raises our families here in the Southern Tier. When we build and maintain this infrastructure, we are investing in the same schools, businesses, and communities that we care about personally. Every mile of fiber we place is a long term commitment to local growth, opportunity, and connection. We believe strong communities are built by people who show up, and that is exactly what we do.
