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.” Click here for more information.
Greenlight Networks Completes Acquisition of Loop Internet Greenlight Networks, a leading fiber-to-the-home provider, today is pleased to share the completion of its acquisition of Loop Internet, initially announced on July 8, 2025. This acquisition establishes the company’s first in-state operations hub and dedicated Pennsylvanian team. “Today’s announcement is about more than just finalizing a strategic acquisition, it’s about fueling growth and digital opportunity across Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond,” said Greenlight’s CEO, Mark Murphy. “Loop Internet has built a reputation for responsive local service and community investment – and that’s something we plan to build upon. We’re proud to welcome our new colleagues joining the Greenlight family and we’re incredibly optimistic about what the future holds for Pennsylvanian residents and businesses.” Greenlight first announced its expansion into Pennsylvania in April 2025 with news of two major market builds, Dickson City and Chambersburg. This acquisition expands Greenlight’s presence into other parts of the state including Wilkes-Barre, Mountain Top, Scranton, and Kingston. Loop’s experienced local team will continue serving the region as part of Greenlight’s organization. “As the Loop team officially joins Greenlight and becomes a part of this industry-leading organization, we’re confident it will bring meaningful benefits to our customers and a positive impact to the region around us,” said Jason Wasmanski, General Manager of Loop Internet who will now serve as Vice President of Operations for the Central Region with Greenlight Networks. “We are looking forward to contributing to Greenlight’s mission and are excited about the opportunity to expand access to affordable, reliable fiber services like never before.” By combining Greenlight’s resources with Loop’s strong local presence, the company plans to accelerate fiber network expansion and create new opportunities for jobs and community partnerships across the region. According to Pennsylvania State Representative Alec Ryncavage, 119th Legislative District, “Local residents now have access to faster, more reliable, and affordable internet connectivity options because of the efforts of Loop and Greenlight. It’s exciting to see two community and customer focused businesses coming together and investing in Northeast PA.” City of Wilkes-Barre Mayor George C. Brown said, “Congratulations to Loop Internet on joining Greenlight Networks through this acquisition. As Mayor, I am delighted to see the growth of a business which started in Wilkes-Barre City. It is a product of a rich entrepreneurial environment cultivated by our community. I wish them continued success.” John Augustine III, President/CEO at Penn’s Northeast said, “From Planters Peanuts to the birthplace of HBO, Northeastern PA has always been a major location for new companies. Loop Internet embodies that start up spirit, bringing the need for faster internet connections at an affordable cost. Now through Loop’s acquisition by Greenlight, it will only further enhance and grow high-speed fiber access across Northeastern PA. This investment strengthens infrastructure to support business and economic development.” To learn more about Greenlight services and its growing footprint in Pennsylvania, visit: greenlightnetworks.com.
