IQ Fiber

The IQ Fiber brand is expanding to Maryland. IQ Fiber has reached a definitive agreement to acquire ThinkBig Networks, LLC, a Maryland-based provider of 100% fiber-optic internet service. The acquisition marks a significant milestone in IQ Fiber’s continued expansion and is backed by additional equity funding from SDC Capital Partners. ThinkBig Networks, LLC currently serves customers in Charles, Kent, Queen Anne’s and Harford counties in Maryland with additional expansion planned. "We have been impressed by what the ThinkBig Networks team has been able to achieve across its markets in Maryland,” said Ted Schremp, CEO of IQ Fiber. “We look forward to working with Dee Anna and her team to bring competition, choice and a streamlined customer experience to even more communities across the Chesapeake Bay Region.” “Joining forces with IQ Fiber will allow us to accelerate our network deployment and leverage the success of a larger platform,” said Dee Anna Sobczak, CEO and Co-Founder of ThinkBig Networks. “IQ Fiber’s complementary culture, vision and strategy will ensure a seamless transition for our customers and further strengthen our position as Maryland’s premier fiber-optic internet service provider.” Clinton Karcher of SDC Capital Partners, noted, "The strategic expansion of IQ Fiber, bolstered by the acquisition of ThinkBig Networks, underscores our confidence in the IQ Fiber team and their vision to bring a modern internet choice to the market. Our ongoing partnership and additional capital commitment is a testament to the company’s trajectory and ability to execute." IQ Fiber announced this year an expansion to Savannah, with customers coming online in early 2025. #FTTH #Jacksonville #Gainesville #Savannah #Maryland

PROMOTED: When we started IQ Fiber, it was our hope that we could help local college students with a bridge to a great career. Connor was a talented information technology major at the University of North Florida when we hired him part-time as a Junior Network Technician in 2023. He has done an amazing job at managing his role along with his studies, earning him a promotion to Network Operations Technician to coincide with his graduation in December. Connor has been invaluable behind the scenes as our network has evolved into a reliable machine that serves tens of thousands of people. His customer-first focus is perfect for our organization, and we simply wanted to shout to the world that we are immensely proud of him. #FTTH #Jacksonville

As Hurricane Milton leaves our service area, we are proud to report that IQ Fiber’s network is 100 percent operational. Despite widespread power outages and tree damage in our North Florida service area, our customers remained online through it all. Milton was a historic storm, and our team’s expertise, dedication, and readiness ensured we delivered reliable, high-speed internet, even in the toughest conditions. After working through two major storms in just three weeks, we’ve gained invaluable insights that will help us serve our customers even better in the future. While we’re grateful our network fared well, we know that many others were not as fortunate and suffered significant damage. Our thoughts are with those communities still recovering, and we extend our support as they rebuild. We’re grateful to our team for their late nights, the weather experts who kept us informed, and those working around the clock to restore utilities across the region. As we continue to expand, we’re taking everything we’ve learned to ensure we’re ready for whatever comes next. #HurricaneMilton #FTTH #NetworkResilience

As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, IQ Fiber is fully prepared to respond swiftly and ensure our customers stay connected. Our employees have secured our fiber-optic infrastructure -- and we are ready to deploy backup generators to keep service running during the storm. Our Network Operations Center is monitoring everything 24/7 to maintain the reliability our customers expect. Delivering high-speed, uninterrupted service is our top priority, and if our network is affected, we’re ready to dispatch teams immediately once conditions are safe. We are committed to keeping our customers connected when it matters most. It’s been a challenging few weeks for the Southeastern U.S., and like many of you, we look forward to the end of hurricane season. #Florida #FTTH #HurricaneMilton #IQFiber
