A Trusted Internet Provider Built for the Future

In an industry that continues to evolve, Cablefax recognized Blue Ridge as a company that successfully blends the personal service of a local provider with the innovation of a leading telecommunications company. This commitment to customers is also reflected in our top ranking in the CTAM and HarrisX Internet Satisfaction Survey.

"Blue Ridge is here for the long haul," said Blue Ridge President David Masenheimer. "We remain committed to our hometown roots in Palmerton while continuing to invest in the technology our customers need today and for years to come."

That long term commitment is why Blue Ridge continues to invest heavily in expanding and modernizing our network. Our ongoing fiber optic internet expansion is bringing faster, more reliable internet service to more homes and businesses throughout our service area.

Investing in Faster and More Reliable Fiber Internet

Over the past two decades, Blue Ridge has invested millions of dollars to upgrade and strengthen our broadband network. Today, our fiber network expansion is delivering symmetrical upload and download speeds, greater reliability, and the bandwidth families need for streaming, gaming, remote work, online learning, and connected smart home devices.

According to Mark Masenheimer, Vice President of Operations, Blue Ridge chose to invest in fiber technology because it provides the strongest foundation for the future.

"Our fiber network is designed to reduce service interruptions while delivering faster, more reliable internet speeds that our customers can count on every day."

As demand for internet continues to grow, Blue Ridge remains committed to building a network that keeps customers connected with dependable performance.

Local Service You Can Trust

Since 1950, Blue Ridge has remained a family owned company dedicated to serving the communities where we live and work. Founded by Claude Reinhard, the company continues to be led by multiple generations of the Reinhard family.

That family culture extends throughout the organization. Many Blue Ridge employees have built lifelong careers with the company, with several families representing three and even four generations of service. Our commitment has always been simple: provide reliable internet service, honest customer support, and long term investments that strengthen the communities we proudly serve.
