Bluepeak reports Denison launch as its first Texas market

Households and businesses in Denison have another fiber internet option, according to Bluepeak, which reported on March 14, 2025, that it had connected customers in its first Texas market. The announcement confirmed the company’s entry into North Texas. Bluepeak construction timeline

Bluepeak had opened advance orders in December 2024, advertising planned maximum speeds of 5 gigabits per second for homes and 10 gigabits per second for businesses. At that time, the company expected its first connections the following January; its construction timeline subsequently recorded the March announcement that customers were connected.

Bluepeak said its Denison investment would give customers more providers to choose from and improve internet speed and reliability. In its November 2023 expansion announcement, the company described spending millions of dollars on the project and said construction was underway. It did not disclose an exact investment amount for Denison. Bluepeak expansion announcement

Denison’s planning records describe a city that already had broadband coverage. A document included in the June 16, 2025, City Council agenda packet reported citywide coverage from fixed and mobile broadband and identified several providers. That assessment does not establish whether fiber connections were available at every property. Denison planning document

Bluepeak describes its wider expansion as an effort to serve rural and underserved communities. In July 2026, the company reported that its network passed roughly half a million homes and businesses across six states, including Texas. Bluepeak network announcement

Texas’s broadband funding rules distinguish between locations without qualifying service and those where service is available but falls below specified speeds. Under those definitions, an underserved location can already have internet access. The state broadband office directs users to federal address-level availability records to check service at individual properties. Texas funding guidance, state mapping guidance

Denison also drew a competing fiber project. Vexus announced on December 5, 2023, that construction had begun on a privately financed, $20 million network intended to serve more than 12,000 homes and businesses. The company projected 12 to 18 months of construction and advertised multigigabit service with matching upload and download speeds. That announcement does not establish when construction was completed. Vexus announcement
