Gustine, CA — Residents and businesses in Gustine are set to experience blazing-fast internet speeds as unWired Broadband launches construction of its NextGen Fiber Internet network. This multi-million-dollar project promises to bring connectivity of up to 5 Gbps to nearly 2,500 addresses across the city, marking a transformative development for the community.
The network, designed to offer symmetrical speeds, unlimited data, and unmatched local support, is expected to benefit single-family homes, commercial enterprises, and multi-dwelling units alike. Installations will commence in select neighborhoods as early as April 2025, with construction slated for completion by June 2026.
“unWired’s mission is to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities, and we are so excited to welcome Gustine to our NextGen Fiber network,” said Matt Murphy, CEO of unWired Broadband. “This investment will provide the essential speeds for the community to thrive, now and for years to come.”
Headquartered in Fresno, unWired Broadband has specialized in connecting rural and underserved regions across Central and Northern California since 2003. With over 200 towers spanning 17 counties and recognition as the Fresno Bee’s Best Internet Service Provider for three consecutive years, the company continues its expansion to meet the growing demands of its 30,000 customers.
Strategic Projects Manager Mark Peterson presented the details at a Gustine City Council meeting on March 18, emphasizing the network’s transformative capabilities. “The service will be 5GB, which is blazing fast,” he stated. Peterson welcomed the competition brought by Comcast’s concurrent internet expansion efforts in Gustine, highlighting its benefit in ensuring no customer is “taken for granted.”
Beyond high-speed internet access, unWired’s NextGen Fiber technology is expected to enhance education and telemedicine opportunities, support remote work, and increase property values. Fiber-to-the-home services will be available, delivering state-of-the-art connectivity directly to Gustine residents.
unWired’s project will span service to 2,068 single-family homes, 110 businesses, and 242 multi-dwelling units. Construction kicks off this week.
