Bob VanDelinder, Vice President of Sales at Empire Access, joins Broadband Communities’ podcast, Broadband Ripple, to discuss Empire Access’ efforts in local markets and its recent growth, including its recent expansions in Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania communities. In this podcast episode titled, “Empire Blazes New Fiber Broadband Path in Upstate NY, Northern Pennsylvania,” VanDelinder explores how Empire Access works to offer improved fiber optic services to often underserved communities.

ABOUT EMPIRE ACCESS

Empire Access, a regional broadband provider serving large areas of New York and Pennsylvania, provides residents and businesses with rapid enterprise-class WiFi, streaming, TV, phone plans, security, home automation, and more. Headquartered in Prattsburgh, NY, Empire Access operates in markets which usually lack access to such services, outside of the major metropolitan areas, to provide residents with Internet packages up to 1 Gigabit and businesses with Internet up to 10 Gigabits. 

Bob VanDelinder states that Empire Access is proud to be a locally-based, family-run company, and takes pride in being part of the local communities in which it operates. When Empire Access enters a new market, most recently Cortland, NY, it hires local technicians and customer service representatives from those communities to ensure it maintains a local connection.

SERVING LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Bob VanDelinder highlights that today, the Internet is a core service for not only entertainment but critical services, such as telehealth, that require WiFi connectivity. Similarly, at-home work is often only accessible to more densely-populated regions due to the usually high costs of fiber optic Internet. This is also true for businesses, as business Internet, including its speed and security, can significantly improve, or even harm, operations. With affordability and reliability key, Empire Access is dedicated to providing the fastest Internet available to both businesses and residents alike, as the provider was named the “Fastest ISP in the U.S.” by PCMag. 

Because of its work, Empire Access is well-received in its communities. Likewise, reliable fiber optic access makes these communities more attractive to everybody, including long-time, new, and even prospective residents and businesses.
