About Us

ValpoNetTM‘s mission is to provide businesses and community organizations of the greater Valparaiso area access to a secure, vendor-neutral fiber optic network that operates at high capacity. This mission enables ValpoNetTM to provide high speed local and global networks to its customers.

ValpoNetTM will be community owned and operated by the City of Valparaiso. ValpoNetTM only provides an infrastructure resource through dark fiber installation. This infrastructure enables customers to directly lease dark fiber and allows internet service providers to provide competitively priced broadband, offering community businesses access to a high speed, high capacity network at low cost.

ValpoNetTM is fully built and is ready for customers.

  • Freedom

    Community businesses will have options to secure services from  multiple providers over an open access, carrier-neutral fiber network.

  • Performance

    Fiber is 6,000 times faster than a T-1 line, which not all that long ago was the industry standard.

  • Competitive Pricing
