Greenlight Networks is Rochester's homegrown fiber-optic internet provider, founded locally in 2011 and now serving over 100,000 homes and businesses. They were rated the #1 internet service provider in the country by Consumer Reports in 2024, and they consistently earn near-perfect customer satisfaction scores.
Greenlight builds and owns its own fiber network street by street — no shared bandwidth, no speed degradation during peak hours, symmetrical upload and download speeds. Plans start at $55/month with no contracts, no hidden fees, and no data caps. Speeds range up to 5 Gbps for residential customers.
The catch: availability is address-specific. Greenlight is expanding constantly but doesn't cover every street yet. Check greenlightnetworks.com to see if your new address is lit. If it's not, you can register to be notified when construction reaches your block.
Most homes can be connected within 3–5 business days of scheduling installation. For remote workers, Greenlight's symmetrical fiber is usually the first choice when the address qualifies.
