ELKHART, Ind., September 25, 2025 – Surf Internet®, a regional fiber-optic internet provider serving communities across Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois, has been recognized on Broadband Communities’ annual Top 100 Fiber-to-the-Home list for the second consecutive year. The 2025 edition spotlights companies making the most significant contributions to advancing broadband, from large-scale fiber expansions to grassroots deployments in rural communities.
This year’s list highlights Surf’s milestone of completing its 200,000th fiber passing earlier this spring, with the company on track to extend service to an additional 75,000 addresses by the end of 2025. Surf was also the top award recipient in a recent round of the Indiana Connectivity Program (ICP), which helps expand broadband infrastructure to unserved and underserved locations.
“Our mission has always been about more than just building networks—it’s about creating opportunities for the people and places we serve,” said Surf CEO Gene Crusie. “Being included on the Top 100 list again this year affirms the impact our team is making in small towns and rural communities across the Great Lakes region.”
Broadband Communities selects its Top 100 based on each company’s role in advancing the fiber industry, evaluating factors such as the scale of network deployment, innovation in technology, and contributions to expanding access. Surf employs more than 300 locally-based professionals, who work alongside community leaders, schools, and local governments to advance connectivity goals.
“Fiber has become the backbone of modern life—powering everything from education to small-business growth,” Crusie added. “We’re proud to be part of this year’s Top 100 and remain committed to building infrastructure that serves today’s needs and tomorrow’s potential.”
