FirstLight Fiber
Tier 2FiberRegional fiber carrier headquartered in Albany with dedicated fiber routes extending into the Rochester metro. FirstLight owns and operates its own fiber network across upstate New York and the Northeast.
FirstLight is a Tier 2 regional carrier — not a reseller. Their owned fiber infrastructure and direct channel relationships make them a strong option for businesses needing dedicated circuits with local support.

The telecom industry classifies providers into tiers based on infrastructure ownership. Tier 3 providers are not recommended for primary business connectivity because they lease capacity from Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers rather than owning their own network — which means limited SLAs, smaller support teams, and less control during outages. They may still work as a cost-effective backup connection. Learn more about the tier system →
Greenlight Networks
Tier 3GoNetspeed
Tier 3Empire Access
Tier 3FiberWhy does this matter? Tier 3 providers often resell another carrier's network or operate with limited local support. For your primary business connection, we recommend Tier 1 or Tier 2 carriers listed above. Tier 3 can make sense as a backup line where cost matters more than SLA guarantees.

Why use BIA
Why Greater Rochester businesses use an independent advisor
Rochester's optics, healthcare, and university sectors need enterprise-grade connectivity
The University of Rochester Medical Center, Paychex, and Rochester's optics and photonics cluster require enterprise-grade internet with formal SLAs. Rochester has a competitive fiber market with multiple carriers serving the metro. But building-level availability still varies significantly. A business on East Avenue may have four fiber providers available; a business two miles away may have one. Checking your specific address is the only way to know.
Same price as going direct — no markup
Carriers pay BIA a referral fee. You pay the exact same monthly rate as calling the provider directly. Our service is completely free to your business. The only difference is you get every qualified option in one comparison instead of making five separate sales calls to providers who each claim to be the best option.
Rochester's fiber market is more competitive than you think
Rochester has multiple fiber carriers competing for business customers — from national backbone providers to regional carriers with deep local infrastructure. We know which buildings have existing fiber risers, which carriers have active construction in the market, and which providers consistently deliver on SLA commitments in the Greater Rochester area.
Post-sale support — we stay with you
When your service has an issue, calling the provider's 1-800 number puts you in a queue. Calling BIA puts you in front of someone with escalation contacts at every carrier in our network. Most brokers disappear after the sale. We don't — and that matters most when something goes wrong.
