The Power of Fiberspark
Fiberspark Brings More Choice & Better Internet to Jamestown Through New Community Fiber Network
A New Era of Connectivity Has Arrived in Jamestown
The future of internet service in Jamestown officially took a major step forward with the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the launch of the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Community Fiber Network.
This milestone marks the beginning of a transformative project designed to bring high-speed, reliable fiber internet to residents and businesses throughout the community. Built through a partnership between the Jamestown BPU, New York State’s ConnectALL initiative, Entrypoint Networks, and service providers including Fiberspark, the network represents a new model for broadband access that prioritizes competition, affordability, and customer choice.
What Makes This Network Different?
Unlike traditional broadband systems where a single provider owns and controls the network, Jamestown’s new fiber infrastructure operates as an open-access network.
That means the fiber infrastructure is community-owned while multiple internet service providers can offer service over the same network. For customers, this creates something that is surprisingly rare in the broadband industry: real choice.
Residents and businesses can select the provider and service plan that best fits their needs without being locked into a single option.
Why Fiberspark Is Excited to Be Part of the Project
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Fiberspark CEO Jeff Shaffer spoke about the importance of open-access fiber networks and why they represent one of the best ways to deliver broadband service.
“What’s really special and unique about what’s happening here is this open-access concept,” Shaffer explained. “From day one, customers have the ability to choose between multiple providers, creating accountability, competition, and better options for everyone.”
As a New York-based internet provider serving communities throughout the Finger Lakes region and beyond, Fiberspark has seen firsthand how fiber infrastructure can improve quality of life, support economic growth, and connect communities to new opportunities.
