Socket Fiber is a Missouri-based telecommunications provider specializing in fiber internet for residential and business customers. Founded in 1994 in Columbia, it began as a dial-up service and evolved into a competitive local exchange carrier, expanding into higher-speed offerings over time. Its fiber network currently serves multiple Missouri communities, delivering reliable, high-speed connectivity and local support. The company targets homes and small to mid-sized businesses that require dependable internet and scalable services, especially in rural areas reached by its fiber buildout. Within the telecom industry, it positions itself as a local, community-oriented fiber internet provider focused on service quality and accessible support. In early 2026, Socket announced the acquisition of Fastwyre's Missouri network business, signaling expansion of its regional footprint.
