VNET Fiber, Erie's only locally owned and operated internet service provider, has completed Phase-One of its fiber-to-the-home buildout. 

VNET Fiber is now available to more than 16,000 homes throughout Erie County. 

VNET is now moving onto Phase-Two. Phase-Two, which is already in progress, will provide an additional 16,000 households with access to VNET's fiber-optic network. 

The expansions are planned for West Millcreek, Southeast Erie, West Erie and Harborcreek. 

“Over the past 10 years, VNET has proudly invested millions of local dollars into a fiber-optic network that bridges the gap between the Erie community and global innovation, offering the same ultra-fast, reliable connection that powers the heart of Silicon Valley,” said VNET President Joel Deuterman. “We have been pushing to invest in Erie's fiber future on our own, and now we are proud to be working alongside our local partners, like ERIEBANK, to provide more – local – access quicker than ever. Forming these meaningful partnerships not only shows a significant vote of confidence by Erieites but will also allow us to achieve our goal of reaching every urban, suburban, and rural home as fast as possible."
