Ripple Fiber

What Ripple Fiber does

Ripple Fiber is a privately held, Charlotte-headquartered fiber-to-the-home internet service provider founded in 2021. The company operates a 100% fiber-optic network with 10GB-ready capability across 11 U.S. states, offering residential and small business internet packages ranging from 650 Mbps at $40/month up to 8 Gig at $135/month. Service is delivered through a direct-to-consumer model combining online ordering, phone sales, retail storefronts, and public-private municipal partnerships, supported by 51-100 employees and a network of regional offices spanning North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, California, and other growth markets.

The company's underlying technology is a 10GB-ready all-fiber network paired with patented software, distinguishing it from cable/hybrid competitors. Customer-facing value-adds include White Glove Installation, a Service Promise (30-day issue resolution with up to two months refund), a Price for Life guarantee, a 3-Year Price Lock option, and a March 2026 partnership with Amazon's eero that integrates eero Pro 7 Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers and exclusive free eero Signal cellular backup for Gig customers. Tiered pricing and bundled services drive a subscription-based recurring revenue model with month-to-month terms and no long-term contracts required for residential customers.

Ripple Fiber's growth strategy is built on a capital-intensive geographic land-grab. The company expanded its debt facility to $350M in May 2025 following its merger with HyperFiber, and has committed $80M+ in Arizona, $60M+ in California, and $250M in Washington alone — collectively targeting over 388,000 homes. It has supplemented organic builds with acquisitions of CloudWyze's fiber assets (October 2024) and BridgeNET Fiber (June 2025). Post Road Group is an identified financial partner. The June 2026 appointment of Chris Peeples as CRO signals a pivot from network construction toward commercial customer acquisition.
