Bringing fiber internet to rural areas—especially low-density communities—can present a challenge for broadband service providers (BSPs). These projects only succeed when BSPs are deeply committed to serving a specific underserved population and find the right partners to bring fiber to the market quickly and efficiently.

• Surf Internet’s unique, customer-friendly pricing model
• How Surf Internet uses powerful geospatial dashboards to help manage their fiber network expansion
