Fiber Internet service provider Vexus Fiber is bringing its 100 percent fiber-to-the-home network to San Angelo, TX. Vexus will fully fund the network connecting more than 35,000 homes and businesses in the area.

“Gigabit speeds are becoming additionally important as more people work remotely or need access to education and other online applications,” said Jim Gleason, CEO of Vexus. “Vexus’ fiber network will provide homes and businesses with a new competitive choice for Internet and entertainment. We are building the network of the future to help foster additional growth and economic development for the area.”

Vexus Fiber plans to begin construction this fall with availability to some neighborhoods and businesses before the end of 2021. Full completion of the network throughout most of San Angelo will take approximately 24 months.

“This positions San Angelo as a competitive option for businesses, an attractive location to future residents and provides a much-needed service to current residents,” said Guy Andrews, director, city of San Angelo Economic Development.

Fiber Internet service is more reliable because it has a higher data capacity and bandwidth, is less susceptible to outside interference and has a much lower latency than a traditional copper connection. Vexus Fiber service will deliver up to 10 Gig internet speeds along with all-digital TV and phone service for residential customers. Business customers will have access to data connections scalable up to 10 Gigs.
