Surf Internet Doubles Fiber Reach, Surpasses 200,000 Internet Passings Across the Great Lakes Region
ELKHART, Ind. (May 13, 2025) – Surf Internet® has reached a major milestone with the completion of its 200,000th fiber-optic internet passing—referring to homes and businesses where service is now available—across Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. The milestone marks a doubling of the company’s reach since November 2023 and underscores Surf’s rapid expansion in delivering high-speed, reliable internet to communities throughout the Great Lakes region, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
“We’re not just building infrastructure—we’re building the future of connectivity for our communities,” said Brent Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Surf Internet. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, and it energizes us to keep pushing forward.”
As part of its growth, Surf recently introduced two new speed tiers—300 Mbps and 5 Gig—in select markets. These options join the company’s existing lineup of 1, 2, and 8 Gig fiber plans, offering a broader range of solutions to meet evolving digital demands at home and at work.
With over 200,000 locations now serviceable, Surf continues to differentiate itself by removing many of the barriers that typically prevent people from switching providers. The company offers no contracts, unlimited data, a price-lock guarantee, and locally based customer support teams who understand the needs of their communities. These policies are part of Surf’s broader mission to make high-speed fiber-optic internet more accessible and user-friendly—especially in rural areas where residents may be connecting to fiber for the first time.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Surf has steadily expanded its fiber-optic network, driven by local partnerships, strategic financing, and competitive broadband grant funding. The company plans to reach an additional 75,000 addresses across its growing footprint in the Great Lakes region by the end of 2025.
