First Communications Internet is a company that offers Internet services and has its operating region restricted to Indiana. First Communications was initially established in 1994 and began by offering dial-up Internet connection services. Over the past 25 years, it has grown to offer fiber high-speed internet, phones, TV, and networks to both residential and business customers in the northern and central Indiana region, as well as some parts of Illinois. As the pioneer of the other independent ISP in the region, First Communications has relied on customer care and speedy and efficient connectivity. Currently, it provides fiber broadband internet service that ranges up to 1Gbps with unlimited data usage for homes. First Communications differs from some other regional players in that it has direct control over its 100G+ fiber infrastructure instead of merely leasing it. Using its expanding fiber optic infrastructure, Indiana-based First Communications offers commercial services to over forty locations. Among the Indiana cities, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Elkhart, Kokomo, Lafayette, and Terre Haute rank highest for livability. However, in the last several years, the company's strategic focus has primarily been on expanding the places where it may provide fiber Internet services and raising the capacity of its fiber optic network. The company seems well poised to extend this growth path as the need for gigabit fiber connection to both homes and business establishments rises in the company’s coverage area.
