Construction is Underway in Albany, Troy, and Cohoes as Part of Greenlight’s Continued Commitment to Connect More Capital Region Communities
ALBANY, New York (November 12, 2026) – Greenlight Networks, a leading fiber-to-the-home internet provider, announced today the continued expansion of its fiber network New York’s Capital Region, reinforcing its commitment to bringing reliable, high-speed connectivity to more local communities. As part of a long term $44 million investment, Greenlight is expanding its high-speed fiber network in the City of Albany, Troy, and Cohoes beginning with Van Schaick Island. Construction is already underway with service expected to become available to an initial 11,200 households and businesses beginning early 2027.
Since entering the Albany market in 2022 with an initial $6.5 million investment, Greenlight has connected more than 13,000 homes and businesses with active service in Malta, Clifton Park, and Rotterdam. Originally founded in Rochester, Greenlight has since expanded into markets across New York, including Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, and the Hudson Valley, fueled by the growing demand for faster, more reliable internet.
“Access to reliable, high-speed internet is important for the businesses and residents who make the Capital Region a great place to live and work,” said Mark Eagan, President & CEO of the Capital Region Chamber. “We value partnerships with companies like Greenlight that are committed to investing in our region and working with local communities to expand access to the connectivity people rely on every day.”
“We’ve seen strong interest in Greenlight’s fiber internet across the Capital Region, and expanding our network into Troy, Cohoes, and beyond is a natural next step,” said Mark Murphy, CEO of Greenlight Networks.“As more households and businesses depend on reliable, affordable connectivity for work, education, and everyday life, having access to high-quality fiber internet is more important than ever. We’re proud to bring a new option to the market and look forward to giving more communities the opportunity to experience the Greenlight difference.”
Greenlight’s commitment to the communities it serves goes beyond providing fiber internet. The company has built local partnerships and supported nonprofits, schools, community events, and neighborhood organizations across its service areas. As Greenlight continues to expand its network in the Albany area, the company looks forward to building on its existing local relationships with the Capital Region and Saratoga County Chambers of Commerce, and finding new opportunities to support the communities it serves.
With a 100 percent fiber optic network, Greenlight services are designed to support the growing demands of today’s connected households and businesses. Greenlight offers speeds of up to 8 Gbps with a base speed of 350 Mbps, along with straightforward pricing and no contracts, taxes or hidden fees.
