IQ Fiber Sets Sights on Jacksonville's San Marco Neighborhood

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--IQ Fiber has selected San Marco for its second infrastructure project in the Jacksonville market. Construction on the $8.4 million project started on Tuesday.

“We are proud to bring fiber-optic internet to San Marco,” said Ted Schremp, CEO of IQ Fiber.

“With this additional project, we are not only deploying a broadband network that is purpose-built for the modern internet, but also providing a streamlined and simplified customer experience that removes the hassles consumers endure today. San Marco residents will now have a smarter choice for high-speed broadband.”

The San Marco IQ Fiber project will allow for symmetrical speeds of up to 10 gigabits and is set to be completed in 2022. Construction consists of the installation of underground conduit and fiber-optic cables extending from the core internet backbone directly into individual customer’s homes, allowing for the fastest internet speeds available while supporting the explosive growth in internet usage and demand. With average broadband usage increasing over 25 percent per year in the US, demand has increased for the symmetrical speeds, reduced lag time and massive network capacity that fiber offers.

IQ Fiber is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida and is bringing high-speed, state-of-the-art 100 percent fiber internet to areas of Northeast Florida that do not currently have access to modern, symmetrical broadband services. In addition to the San Marco project, IQ Fiber is deploying its network in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

IQ Fiber will offer simple month-to-month rates with no hidden fees, surcharges or surprise price increases. IQ Fiber’s three service plans deliver symmetrical internet speeds between 250 and 1 Gbps, and whole-home Wi-Fi service with a simple app to manage connections and settings.
