BrightRidge Fiber
March 16, 2025 Yes, I recently moved, and I finally got access to fiber internet. Brightridge fiber is absolutely amazing. I love how fast everything is. I’m a huge gamer too, so I’m greatly appreciative of the low ping. I have the gigabit plan, so it’s lightning fast. Both my download and upload speed. For $90 a month, you can’t beat it.

BrightRidge Fiber
March 14, 2025 Brightridge Internet service was worth waiting for because they are far superior to our previous Internet Service provider. The transition to Brightridge was easy, once they came to our neighborhood, and the technician who came to set it up was friendly and knowledgable. We have had better speed for a lower price than our previous service, and no issues with anything at all.

BrightRidge Fiber
May 02, 2024 My family upgraded to fiberoptic through BrightRidge when it finally became available in our area about a year ago. The process of getting set up was simple, and the appointment for installation was faster than expected. The installation technician was on time and respectful of our home. He clearly explained every step of the process, including what to do if any problems should arise. We have been very happy with the service so far. The speed is excellent and we are able to stream and use multiple devices simultaneously with no signs of slowdown. The only time we experience an outage is when the electricity goes out.
