Ezee Fiber has grown rapidly in recent years, with aggressive expansion efforts in markets like Houston, New Mexico, and the Pacific Northwest.
The fiber internet provider’s CEO, Matt Marino, recently joined Beyond the Cable—a Broadband Communities podcast—to discuss the company’s quickly expanding footprint and talked strategy.
Marino said a sense of urgency is incredibly important.
He said it has been key in helping the company grow from just a few thousand customers to a multistate footprint in a few short years.
“This is a highly competitive business, it is a highly complicated business,” he said, adding that there are lots of moving parts that need to be tracked and managed.
More than that, he said Ezee Fiber’s growth is driven by disciplined execution.
“Our success is based on essentially the compounding effect of making a lot of small, really, really well-informed decisions over and over and over again,” he said.
He said Ezee Fiber’s growth is customer-centric and additionally called it “operations 101.”
Among the company’s footprint, which currently spans across areas of Texas, New Mexico, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington, Marino said a common theme in all of them is that Ezee Fiber sees opportunity to deliver their value proposition: multi-gig fiber served by Wi-Fi 7 with the best customer service at an attainable price.
Expanding into Salem, Oregon
On Friday, Ezee Fiber continued their momentum in the Pacific Northwest, announcing plans to bring their fiber-to-the-premises network to Salem, Oregon and surrounding communities.
The announcement builds off of Ezee Fiber’s recent progress in the region, including their acquisition of Tachus Fiber in Washington state.
With their release, Ezee Fiber said customer installation in the area would also begin in the first half of this year.
Along with the expansion, Ezee Fiber plans to open an office in Salem and create employment opportunities for construction workers, installation technicians, sales and marketing staff, and community engagement personnel.
As progress continues in the Northwest, Ezee Fiber continues to make moves close to home.
Meanwhile, also this month, the company announced it had acquired the assets of DayNet, a provider of fiber-based services in Dayton, Texas.
