WASHINGTON, March 11, 2026 – Surf Internet announced it has closed a $407 million fiber asset-backed securitization, a financing deal the company said will support network expansion across the Great Lakes region.
The Indiana-based broadband provider said the transaction includes $332 million in secured fiber network revenue term notes and a $75 million variable funding note facility.
The financing, Surf’s first asset-backed securitization, was issued through a newly formed subsidiary, Surf ABS Issuer LLC, and drew strong interest from institutional investors including asset managers, insurers, and credit funds.
The layoffs are the latest in a series of cuts as the company restructures its technology operations and continues hiring in new areas.
The act went into effect a year ago, but participation rates are unclear.
Experts at Broadband Breakfast spotlight managed Wi-Fi, legacy building solutions and bulk Internet as keys.
Supported by public funding, the network will reach more than 200,000 Virginia homes and businesses once complete.
