IQ Fiber has launched its fiber-optic internet network in Kent County, marking its entry into Delaware. The deployment introduces a 100% fiber network that will expand across the state over the next 18–24 months. The project includes last-mile connections to homes and businesses, supported by a dedicated fiber backbone and operations infrastructure.
The company will invest more than $150 million to build out the network statewide. The investment is privately funded and supported by Delaware’s Permitting Accelerator program, which streamlines approvals for priority broadband projects through coordinated state agency review.
The project is currently underway, with initial service launched in Kent County. IQ Fiber will continue construction across additional communities through 2027. The network will deliver symmetrical speeds of up to 10 Gbps to residential and commercial users.
The project will expand broadband access across Delaware and support increasing demand for high-speed connectivity. It will create more than 50 permanent jobs and improve service reliability for households and businesses.
