United Fiber & Data (UFD) is excited to announce that PEG Bandwidth received the company’s first-ever “Premier Partner” award. UFD created the award to recognize and honor those companies that share its partner-driven philosophy that respects each company’s desire and ability to drive positive relationships, deliver solid results and generate strong revenues for each party.
PEG Bandwidth chose the UFD network in fall 2012 to help provide cell site backhaul 
service in hard-to-reach locations. “We’d been looking for a route like this for a long time,” said Rich Ruben, CEO of PEG Bandwidth. “We chose UFD because it offers a unique fiber route that runs through critical but underserved markets where our customer base of wireless carriers does business. This route provides access to cell towers via advanced fiber optics that were previously unavailable.”
“Our two companies are dedicated to excellent customer service and a unique customer experience,” added Christopher Lodge, President and Chief Operating Officer of UFD.

“We wanted to recognize this common philosophy with PEG Bandwidth to underscore to our combined customers that working with our companies delivers benefits that include logical and physical network diversity, high reliability and great service. This is the start of a long-term partnership for us.”
United Fiber & Data officially launched on February 28, 2013, announcing a 300+-mile greenfield fiber-optic network that runs between New York City and Ashburn, Virginia. UFD’s network traverses a geographically diverse route through New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, bypassing the traditional I-95 route that most other service providers follow. The UFD network is currently being built from scratch with brand-new and advanced fiber-optic network and data center technology.
