Swyft Fiber has agreed to acquire Fastwyre's South Central fiber Internet network, adding the regional operator's footprint to its own broadband portfolio.

The transaction covers Fastwyre's fiber-to-the-home Internet network serving communities across the South Central United States. For Swyft Fiber, an operator focused on expanding fiber broadband in underserved markets, the purchase extends its reach into an adjacent service territory without the cost and time of building overlay infrastructure.

Fastwyre has operated the South Central network as part of its broader broadband business, delivering fiber Internet service to residential and business customers in smaller municipalities where national carriers have historically underinvested. The buyer now takes over those subscriber relationships and the associated last-mile plant.

Consolidation of this kind has accelerated across regional US fiber markets as smaller operators seek scale against larger players such as AT&T and Lumen, both of which continue to acquire and build fiber aggressively. Swyft Fiber's move fits the pattern: buy an operating network with existing customers rather than greenfield construction, then densify.

The deal remains subject to standard closing conditions customary for transactions of this size in the US broadband sector.

Following completion, Swyft Fiber is expected to integrate the acquired network into its operations and continue expanding fiber service across the acquired South Central territory.
