Who is behind this?
Due to the inadequate, slow, and generally poor quality of Internet services being offered by the large cable and phone companies to the city of Columbus, a true fiber optic network capable of gigabit class speeds with the utmost reliability is needed. With the blessing of the City of Columbus and Public Works department, who have granted access and permits for this fiber optic network, Hoosier Fiber Networks is able to develop and construct the community network. The network construction is funded with the help of private funds so that no tax dollars were used.
Hoosier Fiber Networks is a fiber optic broadband infrastructure provider, responsible for the build out of a fiber-to-the-premise network that is anchored in Bloomington, and serves Columbus, Shelbyville, and Bartholomew County. Hoosier Fiber Networks works with communities across Indiana to close today's digital divide by building reliable fiber infrastructure that will be sustainable for the next 100 years. We specialize in developing, designing, building, financing, maintaining, and operating fiber broadband networks structured as either public private partnerships or privately funded infrastructure projects.
GigabitNow brings over 30 years of Internet connectivity and customer focused experience to Columbus. Although GigabitNow handles the design and construction of community networks and connectivity solutions as part of its own business, Hoosier Fiber Networks felt it important to bring the best possible Internet service provider to the city of Columbus and GigabitNow is proud to be of service. In addition to providing turnkey solutions for the design, construction, operation and support of gigabit fiber to the networks, GigabitNow's parent company IsoFusion provides full service business and enterprise Internet, colocation, cloud services and more. We do it all.
