PS Lightwave is a Houston-area fiber provider offering internet, dark fiber, Ethernet, private networks, voice and a data center on its own network. A facilities-based carrier established in 2010, it owns one of the larger fiber networks in metropolitan Houston, over 1,600 on-net buildings reached across more than 5,500 route miles of owned fiber, built on roughly 100 fault-tolerant multi-gigabit Ethernet rings for redundancy and sub-two-millisecond latency, with a local 24/7 network operations center. On top of the network it offers fiber internet, dark fiber, Ethernet, private networks, managed wireless, voice including PRI, SIP and hosted PBX, cloud connectivity and SD-WAN, plus its LightHouse data center for colocation with cross-connects to many carriers and other data centers. It serves large enterprises, municipalities and school districts across greater Houston. For a business in that region that wants connectivity, voice and colocation from one local, facilities-based provider, PS Lightwave is a strong option.
Best for
- Businesses in the greater Houston area that want fiber from the operator that owns the network.

- Public-sector entities such as municipalities and school districts wanting a local, certified provider.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
