Regional and rural broadband providers are experts at serving their local community. They build fiber to farmhouses, wire main streets, and connect the schools, municipal buildings and healthcare locations that anchor a town. When a family turns on Netflix from their home in Fargo, North Dakota, they trust their local provider to bring high quality bandwidth right to the house. Or a local store making sure they have access to their inventory system and website. What they don’t see is the greater network underlying it. To deliver that Netflix stream or website access, the local operator reaches beyond its own footprint and turns to an upstream provider like Cogent to bring traffic to or carry traffic from the rest of the internet.

As more people return to the office, having stable internet delivered right to your suite matters more. So does getting it there fast and at the lowest cost, so nothing delays day-to-day business. Most providers stop at the basement. When a business signs the contract, the tenant has to pay to run fiber up the building and into their suite. That adds thousands of dollars, stretches out the install, and can still leave the business with spotty, unreliable service. Cogent works differently.
