HOUSTON, Texas (Oct. 15, 2024) – Lyte Fiber, LLC, a Houston-based company founded by FTTH industry veteran Carter Old and backed by leading digital infrastructure investment firm SDC Capital Partners, is set to rapidly expand high-speed internet access to underserved communities with its multi-gigabit residential fiber technology. Lyte Fiber is launching its first fiber network buildouts in Texas and is already making plans to expand outside of the state.
“We are thrilled to formally announce the launch of Lyte Fiber, our groundbreaking high-speed internet service,” said CEO Carter Old. “This marks a significant milestone for our company as we aim to provide the fastest, most reliable and trusted fiber optic internet to underserved communities in Texas and surrounding states.

Together, we have with Lyte the chance to build the kind of community-focused internet company we’ve always wanted to build,” Old added.
Lyte will offer both residential and business internet service plans tailored to different usage needs. These plans are supported by an XGS-PON access network that can deliver up to 10 gigabits per second, delivering unmatched download and upload speeds and state-of-the-art Wi-Fi technology. This guarantees top-notch performance for activities ranging from basic browsing and streaming to high-demand, critical tasks like telehealth and remote work.
Lyte prioritizes transparency, with lifetime reliability guarantees and month-to-month pricing for its residential plans and is committed to providing exceptional customer and technical support straight out of its Houston-based customer service and network operations center.
Lyte’s commitment to the communities it serves extends beyond unmatched performance and customer support, to include a 1% annual giveback pledge within its market territories.
