Gateway Fiber was joined by Pittsfield leaders and residents to cut the ribbon on new 100% fiber internet for the community.

Pittsfield Mayor Peter M. Marchetti joined Gateway Fiber representatives in welcoming enhanced digital equity efforts and new consumer choice to the city.

The day’s festivities included networking opportunities, presentations from city leadership, and informational sessions with Gateway Fiber representatives, who answered questions about the service and its benefits for Pittsfield’s homes and businesses.

“Today’s ribbon cutting is a celebration of Pittsfield’s future on a new fiber network,” said Gateway Fiber’s Derek Leffert. “We are honored to invest in this vibrant community and deliver the ultra-fast, ultra-reliable internet that empowers families, businesses, and schools to help bring about more digital equity.”

With the launch, Gateway Fiber reaffirms its commitment to bridging the digital divide and strengthening local economies across Massachusetts and beyond.

Leffert added, “Our mission is to provide straightforward pricing, world-class support, and a customer experience that sets a new standard. We look forward to being a trusted partner as Pittsfield thrives in the digital age.”

As part of its ongoing regional expansion, Gateway Fiber’s new network replaces traditional cable- and telephone-based internet, delivering blazing-fast symmetrical speeds, unmatched reliability, and expanded access for the entire community.
