It has been a busy 2025 so far for Ripple Fiber, as was highlighted by Greg Wilson, the ISP’s CEO, in a recent appearance on Beyond the Cable.
Speaking on the podcast, which was recorded at Fiber Connect in Nashville, Wilson said Ripple Fiber has been executing a defined pre-existing plan.
Recently, the ISP made headlines by completing their strategic merger with Hyperfiber, and increasing their debt capacity to $350 million.
Wilson said Ripple Fiber and Hyperfiber grew up alongside each other as companies. He noted that Hyperfiber was an investment from the same group of investors that has supported Ripple Fiber.
He said the companies shared aligned practices, so that it would be easy to consolidate them into one company someday.
“We decided that time was right,” Wilson said.
He added that the merger makes the ISP “a really strong player in the market.”
“It lines us up well,” he said.
Wilson said the ISP sought additional capital to pursue their build plan. Additionally, he said Ripple Fiber’s investors and partners have been phenomenal to work with.
“We said we need more capital, they said, ‘they’re there,’ and they delivered,” he said.
