The City of Pharr announced last week that it has officially been approved as a Certified All Fiber Provider by the Fiber Broadband Association. The Fiber Broadband Association’s All Fiber Network Certification recognizes members for their commitment to ensuring customers receive the fastest, most reliable broadband services — connectivity delivered over “future-proof” fiber networks.

“This is yet another milestone achievement in the work we are doing here in the City of Pharr to close the digital divide and provide our citizens, businesses, school districts and surrounding areas with the fastest, most reliable and affordable internet service through our TeamPharr.Net broadband,” said Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez. “We are extremely proud of our team who have worked tirelessly to ensure we provide the best service through the highest quality technology and certification while meeting the demands of our customers.”

The All Fiber Certification is available to Fiber Broadband Association members who demonstrate a high-level of strategic commitment to fiber deployment by ensuring 90 percent or more of their networks rely on fiber optic infrastructure.

“I congratulate the City of Pharr on its certification,” said Gary Bolton, president and CEO at the Fiber Broadband Association. Service providers, like TeamPharr.Net, that qualify for the All Fiber Certification are leveraging fiber to connect their communities and customers to high-quality internet and digital services that will support broadband needs for decades to come.”
