GoNetspeed Brings 100% Fiber Internet to Yarmouth: A $8.5 Million Investment in Cape Cod’s Digital Future
In a groundbreaking move set to revolutionize internet access on Cape Cod, GoNetspeed, the Northeast’s largest independent fiber builder, has announced plans to bring 100% fiber internet to the Town of Yarmouth. This $8.5 million investment marks a significant milestone as Yarmouth becomes the first community on the Cape to gain access to symmetrical upload and download speeds, empowering over 9,100 homes and businesses with lightning-fast, reliable connectivity.
Construction is slated to begin in 2026, with the first residents and businesses expected to connect to GoNetspeed’s state-of-the-art fiber network as early as fall 2026. The initiative underscores GoNetspeed’s commitment to bridging the digital divide and ensuring that communities like Yarmouth are equipped for the demands of today’s digital world—and tomorrow’s innovations.
A Game-Changing Investment for Yarmouth
For years, many communities across Massachusetts have faced limited high-speed internet options, leaving residents and businesses at a disadvantage. With GoNetspeed’s arrival, Yarmouth will soon benefit from a transformative fiber-optic network designed to meet the evolving needs of its population while fostering economic growth and opportunity.
“With access to another provider option, GoNetspeed will deliver a fiber-optic network that is designed to serve our evolving community while expanding opportunities for our residents and businesses,” said Robert Whritenour Jr., Town of Yarmouth Administrator. “With access to 100% fiber internet, our town will benefit for decades from GoNetspeed’s investment in our digital future. Investments like this are key to endless opportunity online.”
The introduction of symmetrical upload and download speeds—ranging from 500 Mbps to 2 Gbps—will enable seamless video conferencing, cloud computing, remote work, and entertainment streaming. For local businesses, this means enhanced productivity and the ability to compete on a global scale. Meanwhile, residents will enjoy faster connections for everything from online learning to smart home technologies.
Empowering Communities Through Fiber Connectivity
GoNetspeed’s expansion into Yarmouth reflects its broader mission to bring high-speed, affordable, and reliable internet to underserved areas across Massachusetts. According to Richard Clark, GoNetspeed President & CEO, “Access to high-speed fiber internet is more essential than ever, and communities like Yarmouth have been left behind for far too long. Our service is built to last and will help the community grow by giving both new and long-time residents and businesses access to affordable, fast, and reliable internet. Our investment in Yarmouth will help connect more of Massachusetts to our expanding network.”
This announcement comes as part of GoNetspeed’s ongoing efforts to expand its footprint across nine states, including Massachusetts. Yarmouth joins other Massachusetts towns such as Amherst, Easthampton, Granby, and Ludlow, which have already gained access to GoNetspeed’s cutting-edge fiber infrastructure. In the coming months, even more communities throughout the Commonwealth will follow suit, further solidifying GoNetspeed’s role as a leader in fiber-based innovation.
Why 100% Fiber Internet Matters
Fiber-optic technology represents the gold standard in internet connectivity. Unlike traditional copper wiring or hybrid networks, fiber delivers unparalleled speed, reliability, and capacity. Symmetrical upload and download speeds ensure that users can send large files, participate in virtual meetings, and stream content without interruption—all critical components of modern life.
For Yarmouth, this upgrade promises to unlock numerous benefits:
- Economic Growth: Local businesses will thrive with improved connectivity, attracting entrepreneurs and remote workers who rely on robust internet infrastructure.
- Education and Workforce Development: Students and professionals will have access to advanced tools for online learning, research, and collaboration.
- Smart City Initiatives: Enhanced connectivity paves the way for innovative solutions in public safety, transportation, and sustainability.
- Future-Proof Infrastructure: As demand for bandwidth continues to rise, fiber ensures that Yarmouth remains ahead of the curve.
