Greenlight Expands Across NEPA; Partners with Blakely Borough

Greenlight Networks (“Greenlight”), a leading fiber-to-the-home internet service provider, and latest emerging player in Pennsylvania, is accelerating its investment and network buildout across Northeastern Pennsylvania. On the heels of the acquisition of Loop Internet last month, Greenlight today announced several new expansions within the Northeast Pennsylvania region including the Boroughs of Blakely and Throop – bringing residents, businesses, and municipalities the fast, reliable internet they need.

The company is pleased to share that Blakely Borough has signed a municipal agreement with Greenlight, securing high-speed fiber connectivity for eight community buildings, including the Borough Office, DPW Garage, Electrical Switchgear Station, Blakely Hose Co. No. 2, Wilson Fire. Co. No. 1, Blakely Borough Community Ambulance, and both the Blakely Borough Community Center and the Blakely Borough Recreation Complex.

“Reliable, affordable, high-speed internet is essential infrastructure for our community,” said Christopher Paone, Borough Manager of Blakely. “By partnering with Greenlight, we are ensuring not only our residents but also our municipal operations and emergency services are equipped with the best connectivity available for the needs of today, tomorrow, and beyond.”

“The continued expansion of Greenlight Networks’ fiber is a big plus for our regional community,” said Bob Durkin, President of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. “With increased remote work and schooling, and the advances in AI., high-speed, reliable internet is no longer just a convenience—it’s a necessity for families, businesses, and economic competitiveness. We are excited to see this type of investment by Greenlight Networks, here in northeastern Pennsylvania.”

Greenlight’s regional expansion is progressing rapidly, with thousands of homes and businesses already connected or under construction throughout Lackawanna County. In Blakely, residents can expect construction to begin in early 2026, with more areas to be announced in the coming months.

The company is also accelerating its investment and network buildout across the Scranton market following the acquisition of Loop Internet. Over the past several months, service has become available in multiple new neighborhoods across West and South Scranton, the company has also continued its momentum across Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, and Mountain Top, further strengthening Greenlight’s regional footprint across Luzerne County.

“Northeastern Pennsylvania is an exciting place for us to grow, as we continue to partner with communities that welcome competition and are eager for better internet options,” said Mark Murphy, CEO of Greenlight Networks. “Residents and businesses alike want more choice and Greenlight is ready to deliver with the speed and reliability of our fiber network. We are proud of our national recognition as a top Internet service provider for value, reliability, speed and service and excited to further expand access to enhanced connectivity across this region.”
