What to know about fiber optic installation in Peoria
Several carriers sell business fiber and broadband in Peoria
Peoria's economic development office names Cox, CenturyLink and Wyyerd as its fiber and broadband providers, with Wyyerd the primary provider in northern Peoria. CenturyLink is now sold as Quantum Fiber. Which carrier you can order from depends on your address.
Quantum Fiber lists plans up to 8 Gig
Quantum Fiber sells business fiber in Peoria with plans up to 8 Gig in select locations and no annual contract. Availability is limited, so check your exact address before you plan around it.
Cox now markets business internet as Spectrum
Cox now markets business internet in Peoria under the Spectrum name, including a dedicated internet access product. Dedicated service is the kind that arrives on fiber and ends at a handoff device inside your building, which is where our work begins.

Call 811 before anyone digs for fiber
Arizona law requires a call to Arizona 811 at least two full working days before digging, excluding weekends and state-recognized holidays. Any trench between buildings for a new fiber run starts with that call.

Carrier fiber and your own fiber
A carrier brings fiber to your building and ends it at a small box. From there, everything is yours: the router, the switches and the cable to each. Separately, you may need fiber of your own to connect a second building, an upper floor, a remote wiring closet or a rack across a large warehouse. That is the cable we install.
We can meet your provider's technician on install day, so the handoff lands in the right room with space, power and a clean path to your rack.
Single-mode and multimode
Single-mode fiber carries a signal for miles and is the default for runs between buildings and for anything you may upgrade later. Multimode is used over shorter distances inside a building. The choice sets the type of optic modules in the switches at each end, so we settle it before ordering gear.
- Indoor fiber runs in the ceiling with the right fire rating for the space.
- Outdoor fiber is armored or runs in conduit, and underground runs go in a trench or existing conduit.
- We add spare strands, since the cost of extra strands is small compared with pulling again.
Termination, splicing and testing
Fiber ends need clean, precise connections. We terminate onto panels with factory-polished connectors or fusion splice pigtails, then clean and test each strand. Results show the loss on each link, so you can see whether it sits within the limit for the optics in use.
The panel and strands are labeled at both ends, and we leave the test results with your cable map.
Fiber and the street work in Peoria
Buried lines are why a trench plan matters. The 67th Avenue widening from Pinnacle Peak to Happy Valley Road runs to 2027, with overhead utilities being buried underground. Lake Pleasant Parkway from Loop 303 to the CAP Canal started construction in fall 2025 and is expected to finish in 2027, with water, sewer and dry utilities extended.
If your building sits along one of these corridors, ask your carrier where their line runs and what the work schedule is, and avoid putting your only connection on a path that crews are about to open up.

What goes with fiber
Fiber usually joins structured data cabling inside the building and business WiFi on top. If an outage would cost you a day of sales, add backup internet on a different path. Everything else we do in town is on the Peoria page.
