Empire Fiber Internet, a leading fiber optic internet service provider serving communities across New York and Pennsylvania, has launched its 100% fiber network in Berwick, PA, bringing fast, reliable internet service to more than 2,800 homes and businesses.

Enabled by a $1.4 million local investment, the new network gives the Columbia County community another choice for the high-capacity connectivity increasingly essential to daily life and local commerce.

For Berwick, the investment comes at an important time. High-speed broadband has become foundational infrastructure for families, schools, employers and small businesses alike as it enables remote and hybrid work, online learning, telehealth, cloud-based business applications, e-commerce and customer communications. As Berwick continues to support local employers, attract investment and meet the digital needs of residents, the availability of a new fiber network strengthens a critical piece of the community’s infrastructure.

“Reliable, high-speed internet is essential infrastructure for today’s businesses, whether it’s a manufacturer moving large amounts of data, a small business processing transactions, or an employer simply trying to stay connected with customers and employees,” said Chris Berleth, President/CEO of the Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce. “Empire Fiber Internet’s investment in Berwick brings another broadband option to the community, and that kind of private investment and increased choice helps strengthen the environment in which our local businesses operate and grow.”

This latest launch also reflects Empire Fiber Internet’s broader expansion strategy across Pennsylvania and New York. In 2026 alone, the company announced new or expanded fiber availability in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley and in New York communities including Steuben County, Wellsville, Ithaca, and Victor.
