Atherton Fiber is powered by OpenFiber, a community-driven open access fiber optic network that delivers fiber to the homes of Bay Area communities.
​
​Atherton Fiber brings 10 Gigabit fiber service to homes, schools, and public servants in Atherton.

​Like many Atherton residents, Mike Farmwald was frustrated with the poor quality of Internet service offered by providers like AT&T and Comcast. The fact that there were no other providers to choose from in his area only made matters worse.

Rather than settle for a substandard Internet experience, in 2015 Farmwald and several neighbors created Atherton Fiber, a public-private collaboration to build an open-access fiber network for our town. After searching for a suitable partner to install and operate the network, Farmwald’s team decided upon OpenFiber. In 2017 the two groups formed a partnership, enabling Atherton Fiber to build a resilient, next-generation fiber network capable of delivering the fastest Internet speeds available.​
