  • Victor expansion continues: Empire Fiber Internet is growing its 100% fiber network in Victor, NY.

Empire Fiber Internet, a leading fiber optic internet service provider serving communities across New York and Pennsylvania, is continuing the expansion of its 100% fiber-optic network in Victor, NY, bringing high-speed internet access to more than 2,000 homes and businesses. Additional neighborhoods are also coming online across Ontario County as the company continues construction throughout 2026.

Founded in the Finger Lakes region, Empire Fiber Internet has been serving communities across New York and Pennsylvania since 1896 and continues to grow its local fiber footprint. That regional foundation gives the announcement added significance because it shows the company expanding in an area where it already has deep roots and long-term presence.

The expansion is part of Empire Fiber Internet’s broader investment in Ontario County and the Finger Lakes region. Residents and businesses that previously lacked access to fiber may now be eligible for service, giving more of the community access to the speed and reliability needed for modern life and work.

“Victor and Ontario County deserve internet that works as hard as the people who live and work here,” said Kevin Dickens, CEO of Empire Fiber Internet. “From families relying on connectivity for school and work to businesses that depend on our internet to serve customers, fiber delivers the speed and consistency that modern life requires. And just as important, our customers can count on responsive, local support when they need it.”

As communities across the country demand stronger broadband infrastructure, fiber providers are under increasing pressure to deliver not just faster speeds, but long-term reliability and local service. Empire Fiber Internet’s continued growth in Ontario County reflects that trend, while also highlighting how regional providers can play a major role in strengthening connectivity and supporting local economies.

“We’re thrilled to have Empire Fiber Internet as a valued chamber member,” said Miranda Odell, President of the Finger Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. “Their commitment to delivering high-speed internet services aligns perfectly with our mission to support local businesses. We love working with them and are overjoyed to hear about their recent expansion in Ontario County. This growth represents a significant boost to our community, enabling more businesses and residents to thrive with reliable connectivity. Congratulations to Empire Fiber Internet on this exciting achievement!”
