Vexus is committed to providing internet service across the city of Denison with $20 million investment
LUBBOCK, Tx. – June 12, 2024 – Vexus Fiber, a leading provider of high-speed fiber-optic internet, announced the launch of its fiber-optic network in Denison, Texas. The first customers are now available for service.
“We are thrilled to announce service availability in Denison,” said Jim Gleason, CEO of Vexus Fiber. “The start of service for our reliable fiber-optic network to the community represents a major milestone in our commitment to infrastructure and economic development across Texas. Our investment in Denison allows us to provide one of the fastest internet connections in the nation to all community members, enabling both residents and businesses to meet their growing bandwidth needs.”
With this state-of-the-art infrastructure, both residents and businesses in Denison can enjoy reliable high-speed internet access to stay connected in today’s fast-paced world.
“Vexus fiber internet is built to deliver the most robust and reliable internet connection available,” noted Bill Flowers, Regional Vice President of West Texas at Vexus Fiber.
Vexus began construction in Denison only five months ago and almost 1,500 homes and businesses now have service available. The first service areas for fiber internet are located in the southeast area of town. Construction continues throughout the city and is on track to be completed to more than 12,000 homes and businesses by the end of the year.
A Vexus retail store is also opening in Denison later this year. Vexus is proud to support the local economy through permanent jobs all across Texas, including Denison. They also provide a Texas-based call center team for support and sales. The construction project has brought around 50 jobs to the area and Vexus will provide around a dozen permanent positions in Denison.
“Our team is dedicated to bringing a competitive, local choice for internet that can adapt and grow with ever-changing digital demands,” said Jeff Kennaley, Director of Operations at Vexus Fiber. “By investing in a 100% fiber-optic network, we are building for the future, and elevating Denison to Gigacity status. Vexus is committed to being a true community member and partner here.”
The network provides customers with symmetrical speeds*, with packages from 150 / 150 Mbps up to 5 / 5 Gig for residential customers to meet every household need and a secure connection that protects their personal information. Businesses now have access to data connections customizable at multi-gig speeds to meet their specific needs and TeleCloud-hosted communication solutions that bring together phone, chat and video conferencing services in one. It is a network built to grow with the needs of Denison. These features are imperative in supporting the economic development of the region.
“I always tell people Texas is our home and we’re proud to bring fiber-optic internet to communities across the state,” added Kennaley. “We like to say, ‘if it ain’t Vexus, it ain’t Texas,’ because we embody everything we love about Texas and the communities we serve.”
Residents and businesses located in Vexus Fiber’s initial service areas may now sign up for internet by visiting shop.VexusFiber.com.
