About Us
A Local Company With Deep Technology Experience
VNET’s roots in Erie go back decades. Long before VNET Fiber brought fiber internet to local homes, VNET was helping businesses and organizations throughout the region use technology to connect, communicate, and operate more effectively.
In 2017, VNET expanded that experience into residential fiber internet with the launch of VNET Fiber.
Since then, we have continued investing in our fiber-optic infrastructure and expanding service into additional Erie County communities.
Today, VNET Fiber service is available to nearly 25,000 homes across Erie County, with more areas coming online as our network continues to grow.

100% Fiber-Optic From Our Network to Your Home
VNET Fiber delivers internet using a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network.
Fiber-optic technology uses light traveling through glass fiber to carry data at extremely high speeds. Because VNET Fiber’s residential network is fiber-optic, customers can receive symmetrical upload and download speeds, providing the performance needed for streaming, gaming, working from home, video calls, connected devices, and everything else today’s households do online.
Our network is built for the long term. As technology and the way people use the internet continue to change, fiber provides the capacity to support what comes next.
Local Internet. Built for Erie.
VNET Fiber is a locally owned and operated fiber-optic internet provider serving homes and businesses throughout Erie County, Pennsylvania.
We build and operate a 100% fiber-optic network designed to deliver fast, reliable, symmetrical internet service. Our network is built in the communities we call home, and our local team provides the support behind it.
VNET Fiber is part of Velocity Network (VNET), an Erie-based technology company that has served local businesses and organizations for decades.
Fast. Friendly. Local. Built for Erie.
Local Ownership. Local People. Local Support.
VNET Fiber isn’t a national internet provider operating from somewhere else. We’re based in Erie, and the people who build, operate, and support our network are part of the community we serve.
That local connection matters.
When you have a question about your service, need help with your equipment, or want to know when fiber will be available in your neighborhood, you can talk to a VNET team that understands the area and the network.
We believe customer service is part of the product, not an afterthought.

Investing in Erie County
Building a fiber network is a long-term investment.
VNET Fiber continues to expand its network into additional Erie County neighborhoods, bringing more homes and businesses access to fiber-optic connectivity.
Our expansion is about more than faster internet. Reliable communications infrastructure helps residents work, learn, communicate, stream, play, and stay connected. It also gives local businesses the connectivity they need to compete and grow.
We are proud to continue investing in the community where VNET has operated for decades.
Built for Erie. Built for What Comes Next.
For decades, VNET has invested in technology for the Erie community.
VNET Fiber continues that tradition by building a modern fiber-optic network designed to serve Erie County for years to come.
We’re proud to be local. We’re proud to build here. And we’re proud to connect the communities we call home.
