Gardner, MA – Gateway Fiber has officially launched its high-speed fiber optic internet service in Gardner, marking a significant advancement for local residents. The new service debuted during a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on April 30, 2025, promising faster and more reliable internet access than any previously available options in the city.

The mayor of Gardner, Michael Nicholson, highlighted the importance of expanding internet provider options for residents. He noted that the introduction of Gateway Fiber’s service directly addresses community needs for better connectivity. With this initiative, Gardner becomes the second city in Massachusetts, following Northampton, to benefit from Gateway Fiber’s offerings, further expanding the company’s reach to a total of 26 cities.

Gateway Fiber is committed to ensuring that the network buildout proceeds smoothly, having worked closely with city officials for effective implementation. To enhance its community impact, the company has also introduced free public Wi-Fi at Monument Park, which will be available for residents to use.

Gateway Fiber’s service is aimed at providing reliable and future-ready internet solutions designed to enhance connectivity within the community. This includes advanced security features and innovative tools such as cloud-optimized Wi-Fi management, which are part of the company’s efforts to create more connected environments.

One of the standout elements of Gateway Fiber’s service is its simple yet competitive pricing structure. The company plans to offer flat-rate, month-to-month pricing with no hidden fees or unexpected rate hikes, setting it apart from traditional cable internet services. Alongside this pricing transparency, customers will benefit from whole-home Wi-Fi included in their service, as well as customer service that significantly outperforms industry standards, rated nearly 70 points higher than the average.

In addition to enhancing internet access, Gateway Fiber’s expansion into Gardner aligns with its commitment to invest in Massachusetts. The initiative includes the creation of local jobs and the establishment of a new office and warehouse in Chicopee, which will further support community growth.

Residents can expect to receive regular updates on construction progress through door hangers distributed in the area. For those interested in signing up for Gateway Fiber’s service or wanting to learn more about the ongoing construction, the company encourages visits to its official website.

This expansion follows Gateway Fiber’s recent strategic merger with WANRack, a leader in E-Rate services, which is expected to enhance Gateway Fiber’s service offerings and widen its operational footprint throughout the region.

As Gardner embraces this new era of high-speed internet access, residents can look forward to improved connectivity and a range of options designed to meet their digital needs effectively.
