Bluepeak Internet Service Now Available in Blackwell and Tonkawa

(BLACKWELL, Okla.) – Aug. 18, 2022 – Bluepeak began connecting its first customers in Blackwell and Tonkawa today to officially launch its internet service in the Oklahoma communities. The milestone follows previously announced investments totaling $5.5 million to bring Bluepeak’s high-speed fiber network to nearly 4,500 homes and businesses in Blackwell and Tonkawa.

“We’re excited to deliver on our promise to bring faster, more reliable, affordable internet service to Blackwell and Tonkawa.” said Rich Fish, Bluepeak’s CEO. “Our great partnerships with city officials have been crucial to enabling our investment in the fiber-to-the-home network we’re building in these two cities.”

Blackwell residents in the area east of the railroad tracks and north of Blackwell Avenue will be the first to have service available to them, with construction moving south after that. Tonkawa residents in the area east of 5^th Street and north of East Grand Avenue – including south along Frantz and Pine streets – will be the first to have service available to them, with construction moving west after that. Those interested can confirm service availability at their address on mybluepeak.com.

Before Bluepeak, high-speed internet was a challenge for many in Blackwell, Tonkawa and across the Sooner State:

• Oklahoma ranks 43^rd 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, Bartlesville and Stillwater, in addition to the other announced Bluepeak expansion markets in Missouri, Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota.

Bluepeak features all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum speed tier of one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) internet service at just $50 per month. With Bluepeak service, local residences and businesses get faster speed, equal upload and download speeds, and eero Secure, which provides whole-home WiFi and 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.
