IQ Fiber, Northeast Florida’s only local residential fiber-optic internet service provider, has activated its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network in the Town of Orange Park. The $18 million network deployment began in September of 2022 and is now serving its first customers. IQ Fiber is also constructing its fiber-optic network in the Clay County communities of Fleming Island, Lakeside and Ridgeview.

IQ Fiber’s Clay County project is part of a major $45 million network expansion announced last year. The Clay County deployment is the company’s first outside of Duval County.

IQ Fiber’s 100% fiber-optic network is capable of symmetrical speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second and is far superior to telephone or cable-based internet. The network consists of underground conduit and fiber-optic cables extending from the core internet backbone directly into individual homes, allowing for the fastest internet speeds available while supporting the explosive growth in internet usage and demand.

IQ Fiber offers simple month-to-month rates with no fees, surcharges or surprise price increases. IQ Fiber delivers symmetrical speeds along with whole-home Wi-Fi service and a simple app to manage the ever-growing number of Wi-Fi devices in the home.

IQ Fiber, headquartered in Jacksonville, is bringing high-speed, state-of-the-art 100% fiber-optic internet to areas of Northeast Florida that do not currently have access to modern, symmetrical broadband services. The first phase of the network will deliver fiber-optic internet to 60,000 homes across Northeast Florida. IQ Fiber is privately funded and launched in August 2021.
