When Their Internet Went Down, These Brothers Stood Up

Brothers Eric and Rob Veksler, frustrated with New York City’s notoriously slow Internet service, launched a local Internet provider, Brooklyn Fiber.

Businesses make up most of Brooklyn Fiber's several hundred customers, although it serves a few residential accounts in buildings that have no or poor Internet access.

Better customer service is the way that the brothers have distinguished themselves from the big Internet providers. The brothers said they hope to double their customer base in an expansion this summer, with much of the growth coming from residences.
