Fiber Speed

What Fiber Speed does

Fiber Speed is a privately held fiber-to-the-home internet service provider operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, headquartered in Erbil with regional offices in Duhok and Zakho. Founded in 2015 (originally as FiberConnect) and operating as a brand under Arcella, the company delivers 100% fiber optic connectivity with symmetrical upload and download speeds and a 99.9% uptime guarantee, supported by 24/7 local-language customer service. Its service area currently covers 36+ named neighborhoods in Erbil plus presence in Duhok and Zakho, with stated intent to continue rolling out fiber across additional addresses.

The company's commercial product is a three-tier residential subscription portfolio — Mega (up to 30 Mbps, IQD 29,000/month), Giga (up to 100 Mbps, IQD 39,000/month), and Tera (up to 150 Mbps, IQD 59,000/month) — all with unlimited data and symmetrical speeds. Business plans are implied on the website but not priced publicly. The company complements its ISP offering with an e-commerce hardware store reselling TP-Link networking equipment (TL-WR840N router, Deco E4/M4/S7 mesh systems, TL-WA850RE range extender, EAP613 Wi-Fi 6 access point) and Tapo security cameras (outdoor pan/tilt and solar-powered kits).

Fiber Speed runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model: customers check address availability online, select a plan, and optionally purchase hardware through fiber-speed.net, supplemented by phone sales and in-person professional installation. No enterprise customers, channel partners, or third-party integrations are disclosed. The company has not raised external funding rounds, has no disclosed management team, holds no patents or trademarks, and operates exclusively in the Iraqi domestic market.
