The new High-speed internet service is expected to be available to nearly 10,000 homes by the end of 2022, due to a $1 million dollar investment in the infrastructure of the town's network, which is also creating new jobs and work for contractors along the way.

The company also announced that it is partnering with South Line Fire District No.10 in Cheektowaga to host its network equipment in exchange for complimentary high-speed fiber broadband service. Residents in these areas surrounding the South Line Fire District No. 10 can now place pre-orders for the Greenlight internet service by CLICKING HERE.

Greenlight’s high-speed fiber represents a major investment in our community. We welcome Greenlight Networks and appreciate the benefits they are bringing to our residents.
