Clearwave Communications

What Clearwave Communications does

Clearwave Communications, doing business as Clearwave Fiber, is a facilities-based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet service provider headquartered in Harrisburg, United States, and operating as a private LLC (Clearwave Fiber LLC). The company owns and manages its own fiber-optic network and delivers 100% fiber internet to residential customers (plans starting at $34.99/month with no data caps and no contracts), business customers (business-class or dedicated service with 99.9% network uptime and 24-hour local tech support), and multi-dwelling/multi-tenant properties through dedicated programs.

Its underlying technology is a 100% fiber-to-the-home infrastructure — distinguishing it from competitors relying on hybrid copper/fiber — with complementary software components including the Clearwave Fiber App, the C-Fi managed Wi-Fi solution, and supporting router hardware. The company is investing millions into extending service to more than 500,000 locations and already serves thousands of homes and businesses across its footprint.

Clearwave's business model is predominantly subscription-recurring monthly revenue, with pricing delivered through direct sales channels: an e-commerce-enabled website for online ordering, phone-based inside sales (866-404-3751), field sales for business accounts, and property partner programs for MDU/MTU buildings. Customer acquisition is amplified by promotional incentives such as a $200 gift card on residential orders. Growth has been driven primarily by acquisitions and consolidation — the March 2022 acquisition of RG FIBER expanded the company into Kansas, and an announced merger with Point Broadband is positioned to materially scale the combined fiber footprint across additional states.

Broad incumbents

• Consolidated Communications: U.S. regional ILEC and fiber broadband provider (now owned by Searchlight Capital and BCI). Directly comparable in serving small/rural markets with fiber upgrades, same customer segments, but operating at larger overall scale than Clearwave.
• Google Fiber: Alphabet's residential and business fiber internet service operating in select U.S. cities. Competitor in markets where Google Fiber has expanded; same FTTH architecture and customer-friendly commercial model as Clearwave but with much deeper financial backing.
• TDS Telecom: U.S. regional ILEC and fiber overbuilder serving rural and suburban markets across 30+ states. Directly comparable in market profile and fiber expansion playbook, with broader product portfolio (video, voice) than Clearwave.
• Frontier Communications: Large U.S. ILEC aggressively upgrading copper to fiber across its ILEC footprint. Overlaps with Clearwave in secondary Midwestern and Tier-2 markets; deeper balance sheet and broader product portfolio (voice, video) but transitioning to a similar fiber-first strategy.
• AT&T Fiber: Large national telecom's fiber-to-the-home division offering gigabit fiber internet across 20+ U.S. states. Directly competes with Clearwave in overlapping markets with vastly greater scale, capital and bundling power.

Direct peers
