Southern Tier Wireless Internet is a regional WISP with service territory located in Upstate New York. Established in 2007, the company offers rural internet solutions in the Southern Tier region since the major Internet service providers do not cover these areas. These wireless access points include radio towers and antennas; it provides download speeds up to 25 Mbps for its home-based consumers and dedicated business connection speeds far exceeding 25 Mbps. Their coverage is as wide as 5,000 square miles, with a focus on rural areas including Steuben, Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. As many families and businesses in the region previously could not afford reliable connectivity from poor DSL, satellite, or dial-up services, Southern Tier Wireless has been dedicated to closing the gap. The two companies still have many projects under construction, and they are gradually introducing modern Internet access to small villages that have not had good choices before. Founded in 2003, offering wireless Internet services in a specific region, Southern Tier Wireless Internet offers its customers a professional installation based on the needs and wishes of the clients, local assistance, and reasonable prices for the services it offers, giving the inhabitants of an area that many Internet providers consider not profitable enough a chance to enjoy a fast and reliable connection. Their wireless internet services make it possible for upstate rural regions in New York to work and enjoy the internet resources that are very crucial for business, education, and entertainment.
