Happy New Year! As we kick off 2026, I’m excited to step into my new role leading our Channel Partner team and working closely to support our partners. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on building strong partner and business development strategies, and I’m especially thrilled to build on the great momentum our channel program has gained under Justin Suber.

Providing fast, reliable connectivity and helping you grow your business will remain a top priority to the team as we head into the new year.

Here’s a quick look at what we have cooking at Brightspeed Business: We’re sharing a new Premium Fiber feature, updates to make your experience even smoother, a spotlight on our big win at the MarCom Awards, and more.

I look forward to working with you to make 2026 a strong and successful year!

We’re rolling out the prioritized traffic feature for Premium Fiber. This new addition helps your most important online tools run smoothly, even when your network is busy. With prioritized traffic on the Brightspeed network, things like video calls, cloud apps, and other critical systems get first priority, so they stay fast and reliable during peak usage times.

Best of all, customers who already have Premium Fiber will automatically get this exciting feature.

Customers now have a quicker and easier way to get pricing from us when they need it. Our new Channel Partner Pricing Request Form lets you request quotes for services at specific addresses in just a few clicks.

In addition, customers can search for us in CableFinder to quickly qualify services—and we’re turning around requests within an hour of submission.

Our Channel Partner Success Kits are now available to help you engage your audience and grow your business. We’ve equipped the kits with templates for social media posts, emails, as well as a newsletter paragraph and a blog. These kits make marketing faster, easier, and more effective so you can stay focused on serving your customers.

Reach out to your Contact for your success kit.

Having trouble reaching every corner of your workspace with Wi-Fi? We’ve pulled together step-by-step guides and videos to help you set up your Brightspeed Business Wi-Fi extenders and keep your team connected, wherever work happens throughout your space.

Our “Power to Elevate” Account-Based Marketing (ABM) campaign earned us four awards, and our “Reinventing Channel Partnerships” video took home another. Both were recognized for excellence in strategy, creativity, and execution among marketing teams worldwide.

These awards highlighted how our channel-focused marketing approach resonated with our partners and delivered incredible results.
