What Providence Fiber Customers are Saying
"Fiber is the best possible internet deal out there, and there's more than one ISP to choose from. It's a no brainer."
– Caleb S.
"I love knowing the service is provided locally, I am invested in my network as a citizen Providence, and that if I have problems I can talk to people in my community that can help me out, not a chat bot. It was a lot of work/time to get the infrastructure in, almost overwhelming at first. Now it is done and we are ahead of the game. Great Job Providence City for seeing it through!"
– Audrey S.
"Easy hook up. There was an actual human in my home walking me through the process. And not to mention it's very affordable and I'm getting better speed than I've ever had. Much better service!"
– Jill D.
Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Open Access Networks
An Open Access Network (OAN) is at the forefront of internet technology, providing a modern approach to broadband connectivity where the roles of the network owner, operator, service providers, and customers are distinct yet interconnected.
Network Owner
The owner (Providence City) is responsible for the physical broadband infrastructure. They invest in and maintain the core network that includes the fiber-optic cables and essential hardware.
Network Operator
An operator can be either the owner or a third-party company; they manage the network's daily operations, ensuring functionality, security, and equal access for all service providers. Strata Networks is our chosen Network Operator
Service Providers
Internet Service Providers offer internet, phone, TV, and other telecom services over the network owned and operated by others. They compete freely, enabling customers to choose from various service offerings. We have 8 amazing ISP partners in Providence.
Customers
Customers, including residents and businesses, benefit from the OAN by having the power to select among diverse providers for services that best meet their individual needs and budgets.
Open Access Networks are a collaborative partnership among owners, operators, providers, and customers. Owners invest in infrastructure, operators maintain network efficiency and impartiality, while providers compete to meet customer demands. Providence City's OAN is not only a connectivity framework but also a catalyst for tech progress and economic growth.
