What happened: IQ Fiber begins service in Savannah’s south‑west neighbourhoods
IQ Fiber, based in Jacksonville, Florida, launched its 10‑gigabit fibre‑optic internet service in Savannah, Georgia, under a US $50 million investment. The network rollout covers targeted residential and small business addresses with further expansion planned in coming months.
The company opened a Savannah operations centre in April and is onboarding around 25 employees for sales, engineering and technical operations. The network runs on a redundant fibre core linked across multiple cities. It delivers symmetrical multi‑gigabit speeds directly to customers’ premises via dedicated fibre lines.

Why it’s important
The launch marks IQ Fiber’s first major market entry beyond Florida. It signals increased choice and competition in Savannah for high‑speed fibre services. The investment may boost local digital infrastructure and create jobs during rollout and support.
The availability of fibre‑based symmetrical speeds up to 10 Gbps offers better bandwidth for homes and businesses, supporting applications like remote work, high‑def video and cloud services. Offering transparent, no‑contract pricing may set industry expectations higher. The redundant design also improves network reliability and resilience for the community.
