Mainstream Fiber Charts Bold Path Forward,
Expanding High-Speed Connectivity to Rural Communities Across the Nation
Leadership team outlines vision to bridge the digital divide and bring fiber-optic broadband to underserved communities
Nashville, IN — Mainstream Fiber, a leading provider of fiber-optic broadband infrastructure, today announced an ambitious growth strategy focused on expanding high-speed internet access to rural communities that have long been left behind by traditional telecommunications providers. The company's leadership is doubling down on its mission to close the digital divide, bringing reliable, affordable connectivity to households and businesses in underserved areas across the country.
“At Mainstream Fiber, we believe that fast, dependable internet isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity,” said Jeff Marston, CEO of Mainstream Fiber. “For too long, rural communities have been underserved and overlooked by the broadband industry. We are changing that. Our growth strategy is built on a simple but powerful idea: every community deserves access to the infrastructure that drives economic opportunity, education, healthcare, and quality of life in the modern world. We’re not just laying fiber — we’re laying the foundation for the future.”
“Mainstream Fiber was built on the belief that rural America deserves the same world-class connectivity as any major city,” said Bryan Gabriel, Founder and President of Mainstream Fiber. “From day one, our purpose has been clear: go where others won’t, invest where it matters most, and build something that lasts. The momentum we’re seeing today is a direct reflection of the trust communities have placed in us, and we take that responsibility seriously. This is just the beginning — our best growth is still ahead.”
Mainstream Fiber’s expansion plan centers on a community-first approach, partnering with local governments, cooperatives, and regional organizations to identify and prioritize communities with the greatest need. The company is actively evaluating new markets and expects to announce entry into several additional communities in the coming months. Each deployment is designed to deliver symmetrical gigabit speeds, supporting everything from remote work and telehealth to precision agriculture and small business growth.
“Our growth isn’t just about expanding our footprint — it’s about making a lasting impact in the communities we serve,” said Jason Korando, Director of Marketing at Mainstream Fiber. “We’ve seen firsthand how transformative reliable broadband can be for a rural town — it opens doors that were simply not available before. As we move into new communities, we’re committed to showing up not just as a service provider, but as a true community partner. We listen, we invest, and we stay.”
The company’s strategy emphasizes sustainable, long-term infrastructure investment rather than short-term deployments. Mainstream Fiber builds, owns, and operates its own network, ensuring quality of service and accountability directly to the communities it serves. This owner-operator model has been central to the company’s success and will continue to guide its expansion into new markets.
As demand for high-speed connectivity continues to surge and federal broadband funding initiatives create new momentum across the country, Mainstream Fiber is well-positioned to accelerate its growth. The company remains focused on disciplined expansion — entering markets thoughtfully, building strong local relationships, and delivering on the promise of world-class fiber broadband for every home and business it reaches.
Mainstream Fiber invites community leaders, local officials, and residents in underserved areas to reach out and learn more about how the company can bring fiber-optic broadband to their region.
