About
The story of Summit Broadband is a journey of deep-rooted connection to the state of Florida. Its origins trace back to 1982 with a company offshoot, Orlando Telephone, which laid the groundwork for a future dedicated to connecting Floridians. The company as it's known today, Summit Broadband, Inc., was officially incorporated in 2009, marking a new chapter focused on leveraging the power of fiber-optic technology. From its headquarters in Orlando, the company embarked on a mission to become a leading fiber-optics telecommunications provider, serving only the Sunshine State. This Florida-only focus isn't just a business strategy; it's a core part of their identity, ensuring that their team lives and works in the very communities they serve, fostering a deeper understanding of their customers' needs. Over the years, Summit Broadband has invested heavily in the state's infrastructure, meticulously building and managing an expansive fiber-optic network that now stretches over thousands of miles. This robust network allows them to deliver high-speed internet, TV, and phone services to a diverse range of customers, including residential homes, local businesses, large enterprises, and wholesale partners. In 2020, the company was acquired by Grain Management, LLC, a strategic move that provided the resources to accelerate its growth and further its mission. Under new leadership, Summit Broadband continues to expand its state-of-the-art network, bringing modern, reliable connectivity to new communities and reinforcing its commitment to being an integral part of Florida's technological advancement and future growth. They believe that better connections with technology create better connections in life, a principle that guides their service-first approach and their dedication to the people of Florida.
