Bluepeak expands across the state

Bluepeak, a leading provider of high-speed fiber internet serving communities across Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Texas and Wyoming, today announced its continued expansion across Oklahoma, now including Alva. This growth represents a multi-million- dollar investment in the state, underscoring Bluepeak’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance internet while supporting local communities statewide.

“We’re excited to bring fiber internet to Alva and strengthen our presence across Oklahoma,” said Rich Fish, CEO of Bluepeak. “With fast, reliable connectivity, recognized through resident-voted award, and community investments from youth programs to local scholarships, we’re helping families, students and businesses thrive across the state.

Bluepeak’s network delivers speeds up to 5 Gig for homes and up to 10 Gig for businesses and now has the fastest speeds in Oklahoma. Residents can enjoy seamless multi-device streaming, lag-free gaming, high-quality video calls, remote work, online learning and telehealth access. Businesses gain the bandwidth and reliability to enhance productivity, access cloud services quickly and support expansion across industries. Bluepeak’s future-ready infrastructure ensures Oklahoma communities are equipped to meet growing digital demands.

For TV entertainment, customers can choose between a traditional channel lineup that includes local coverage and major networks like ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, or Bluepeak Stream – a modern, app-based experience that combines live TV, on-demand content and access to popular streaming apps in one easy-to-use platform.

— Impact Beyond Connectivity

Bluepeak’s investment in Oklahoma goes beyond broadband infrastructure. The company is committed to supporting communities through local partnerships, civic engagement and community-focused initiatives. In Pryor Creek, Bluepeak contributed to the Lincoln Elementary Habit House leadership program, fostering education and youth development. The company supported the National Western Stock Show and National Western Scholarship Trust by purchasing champion hogs from Yukon, Altus and Elk City, providing scholarships for young agricultural leaders.

Across the state, Bluepeak partners with local chambers, schools and community organizations to support events and programs that strengthen communities. In Altus, Bluepeak has sponsored OSU Posse Rally and Main Street events, supporting local schools and small businesses. In Bartlesville, the company participates in initiatives such as Night of Scholars and the YMCA Turkey Trot, promoting youth development and healthy living. In Lawton, Bluepeak engages with Fort Sill and supports local high school sports. These examples illustrate Bluepeak’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections and making a positive impact in communities across Oklahoma.
