(BARTLESVILLE, Okla.) – July 6, 2022 – Bluepeak announced today that it has begun connecting its first customers in Bartlesville, Okla., officially launching its internet service here. The milestone follows the previously announced investment of at least $15 million to bring Bluepeak’s high-speed fiber network to approximately 15,000 homes and businesses in the community.
Brandi Williams, a native of Bartlesville, said, “Yes, I would definitely recommend Bluepeak internet to others.” Williams signed up to be the first Bluepeak customer here and test the service before launch. Williams was also impressed with the download and upload speeds with Bluepeak’s one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) plan. Her top download speed with her previous provider was just 50 Mbps. Another thing that stood out to her was Bluepeak’s customer service. Williams recalled, “Any time I’ve had questions, they were really quick to answer.”
Williams’s experience with internet service in Bartlesville – including working from home through the pandemic in 2020 – is no different from many others in the state. Access and competitive options remain a challenge for many in the Sooner State:
- Oklahoma ranks 43rd in the nation in internet coverage, speed and availability, according to broadbandnow.com.
- A Kansas City Federal Reserve study estimated 30 percent of Oklahomans have access to fewer than two wired internet providers.
- An April 2020 survey by the Oklahoma Education Department showed that nearly one in four students did not have a home internet connection.
Bluepeak dramatically improves the options for residents in Oklahoma by providing fast, reliable, affordable internet to communities like Perry, Enid, Stillwater, and Bartlesville, in addition to the other announced Bluepeak expansion markets in Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
With Bluepeak service, local residences and businesses get faster speed, equal upload and download speeds, and whole-home WiFi. Bluepeak features all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum speed tier of 1 Gbps internet service at just $50 per month. Each internet speed tier includes eero Secure, which protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering.
Bluepeak is designed to provide the best fiber connection without the things that get in the way of great service — like red tape, hidden fees and slow response times.
