Goodbye, Bandwidth IG, hello BIG Fiber

Bandwidth IG recently changed its name to BIG Fiber. The dark provider stated that the name change reflects its growing momentum in providing dark fibrer solutions to meet the demands of AI and cloud computing.

Since officially launching in 2019, BIG Fiber has rapidly expanded its presence in key data center hubs, including the San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Atlanta area. The company later entered the Greater Portland market. Further, BIG Fiber has also grown existing markets by significantly expanding in the San Francisco Bay Area and launching a project in Greater Atlanta earlier this year that will more than double its network
