GoNetspeed Commits $43M to Expand Fiber Network in Four New Jersey Communities — GoNetspeed

Event summary

$43 million investment to expand fiber network across Rahway, Clark Township, Linden, and Woodbridge in New Jersey.
Expansion will connect over 34,000 residents and businesses to GoNetspeed’s 100% fiber network.
This marks the company’s second expansion in New Jersey following a $13.6 million investment in East Brunswick and South River.
GoNetspeed now operates in 11 states across the Northeast, offering symmetrical speeds from 500 Mbps to 6 Gbps.

The company is capitalizing on a broader industry shift toward fiber-optic networks, driven by increasing reliance on remote work and digital services. With Oak Hill Capital’s backing, GoNetspeed is positioning itself as a key independent player in the Northeast’s competitive broadband market.
