IQ Fiber

We're #hiring a new Digital Marketing Strategist in Jacksonville, Florida. Apply today or share this post with your network.

As our birthday week draws to a close we reflect on our amazing team who drive us to be the best fiber-optic internet provider we can be. Year 3 saw an incredibly successful rollout to the Gainesville market and huge growth in homes passed in Jacksonville, and year 4 will be bigger and better. Our customers are noticing how we are changing the perception of internet service providers. Gone are the days of lackluster customer service, slow, unreliable WiFi. Just a month ago, we had a customer who messaged us on Facebook and showed his speed test of 5.4 GIG up and down. It really proved what our network can do and how will serve the needs of residents in the future. The demand for fast internet is only going to increase, and we are here for it. One thing last thing: We are hiring. As other companies scale back, we have openings, so hit up our Jobs tab or the Careers page on our website.

IQ Fiber officially turned three years old on Tuesday -- and we also got word that our Gainesville rating on Google moved from 4.9 to a perfect 5.0. In short, it was a great day for our employees -- and our customers. We have provided 100% fiber-to-the-home service in Gainesville for four months; many of our new customers have never seen the symmetrical speeds we offer. During that time, thanks to a tremendous team, we have single-handedly changed the perception of internet service providers. Gone are the days of slow upload speeds, ever-changing (always upward) bills and lackluster customer service. In part, this was our 100th Gainesville review: "Installation was professional and [IQ Fiber] even offered me an earlier time slot that became available. I am dropping off [cable modem] happily on my lunch break. Good riddance to overpriced and unreliable internet." There is plenty more to do and more markets to conquer.

Please give a warm LinkedIn welcome to Josh Worrell, our new Director of Market Development. We continue to attract the best and brightest in telecom -- Josh joins us from TDS Telecom, where he supported the market selection process for six years. Josh's new role is critical for the future of our company as we continue to expand in Florida -- and elsewhere. Josh will identify, select and incubate new IQ Fiber markets that will bring stress-free fiber-optic connectivity to many more people. Josh's immediate goals are to streamine and document the market selection process to ensure targeting and resource allocation. "Cross-department collaboration and communication are critical for success," Josh said. "At IQ Fiber, our team and culture will foster seamless interactions across boundaries, which will serve as the foundation for our future achievements." Welcome to the Fiberhood, Josh! #FTTH #Jacksonville #Gainesville

LAUNCHED: Did you know that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will soon require all ISPs to provide accurate information about the cost and performance of high-speed services? As of today, IQ Fiber is already in compliance with this federal order. The information is shown in the form of grocery store-style labels that are easy to read and easy to compare. The labels show standardized information related to speeds, data usage caps, fees, taxes and equipment charges. “These labels embody our core values of authenticity and transparency," said IQ Fiber CMO Km Smithers. "We already feature upfront pricing and the promise to deliver the speeds and service our customers pay for, with no fees, data caps or other unwelcome surprises.” #FTTH #Jacksonville #Gainesville

Please give a warm LinkedIn welcome to Jackie Toepfer, our new Vice President, Controller. Jackie moves to IQ Fiber from the Zayo Group, a global provider of fiber and network connectivity solutions. Jackie is a proud graduate of Michigan State. Jackie will be tasked with helping us scale up our financials, systems and processes as we enter an exciting phase of growth. Her best advice? Do what's right for customers, employees, and vendors. Doing so builds trust and leads to long, productive relationships. #WomenInFiber #Leadership #Jacksonville #Gainesville

Helping new hires feel comfortable is a huge priority for us. Starting any new job is stressful, and we do everything we can to ease the transition and educate our new employees why IQ Fiber is a Smarter Internet Choice -- and a Smarter Job Choice. We are officially moved into our new headquarters, but one thing hasn't changed -- we still bring in new employees once a quarter to discuss each area of the business; sales, marketing, outside plant, network management ... even finance. We also talk about our values, like being a good human and having fun. It's a great way to get to know our team, especially as we expand and our employee count grows. If you follow us on LinkedIn and wonder whether you should apply to one of our job openings, go for it! Just check our Jobs tab (we are always updating it) or simply bookmark our Careers page on our website. #Jacksonville #Gainesville #Florida #NowHiring #JaxJobs

If there is one thing we have learned in moving the IQ Fiber headquarters (again) to accommodate our growth … It’s not about the building. It's about the people and giving them the space they need to provide even better service to our customers. Our incredible team -- which now numbers over 150 -- made this possible. Everyone pitched in to pack, move and set up our new space. And we never heard a single person say "this isn't my job." We accomplished the move without missing a single workday, with our technicians stopping by between jobs to install TVs, connect our network, and taking the time to hook up monitors. Our new office is just a couple of miles down the road, and we have big plans for the space. Stay tuned -- we'll reveal it here in the coming weeks. #Jacksonville #Gainesville #FiberOptics
