Lehigh Valley consumers will soon have another choice for internet services.

Empire Fiber Internet recently announced that it will provide 100% fiber optic internet services to more than 35,000 homes and businesses in the Valley. The Prattsburg, New York, company said construction is underway and it is taking early registration for service.

“Lehigh Valley residents deserve internet that works as hard as they do,” said Kevin Dickens, CEO of Empire Fiber Internet.

Empire Fiber Internet said early registration ensures customers are among the first to know when its internet goes live in their neighborhood.

The company serves homes and businesses across Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, Hazelton, Bloomsburg and Erie.
