IQ Fiber Activates Fiber Network in Clay County

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.– IQ Fiber 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 now serves 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 significant $45 million network expansion announced last year. The Clay County deployment is the company’s first outside of Duval County.

“Orange Park and Clay County residents deserve a better – and local – choice for high-speed internet service,” said Ted Schremp, CEO of IQ Fiber. “IQ Fiber delivers a streamlined, straightforward experience and the highest internet speeds. Our network is purpose-built for the modern internet and we’re proud to be based here in Northeast Florida.”

IQ Fiber’s fiber network is capable of symmetrical speeds of up to 10 Gbps and is far superior to telephone or cable-based internet. The network consists of underground conduit and fiber 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 fiber 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.
