Lyte Fiber Delivers First-Ever Fiber Internet Service to Pearsall

History made in Frio County as Lyte’s $3+ million all-fiber buildout brings reliable, multi-gig speeds to homes and businesses

PEARSALL, Texas (Feb. 24, 2026) – Lyte Fiber (“Lyte”) today announced that Pearsall residents now have access to fiber internet for the first time ever, marking a historic milestone for the Frio County community. Lyte’s newly built, all-fiber network – the result of an investment of over $3 million – is live, connecting homes and businesses to the kind of high-speed connectivity previously unavailable in the community.

The go-live is a landmark moment for Pearsall, marking the first time residential fiber internet is available in the city. In phase one, Lyte will connect nearly 2,800 locations and install about 44 miles of fiber across Pearsall, with further expansion plans already underway.

“Pearsall didn’t need a promise; it needed a partner willing to do the work. Now our neighbors are the first in this city to get online with fiber,” CEO Carter Old said. “This is what we came here to do, and we’re just getting started.”

Lyte’s residential plans are designed to meet the needs of every household, with straightforward pricing and no hidden fees: $60 per month for 300 Mbps, $85 for 1 Gig, and $120 for 2.5 Gig service. Pearsall residents can get 1 Gig for $50 or 2.5 Gigs for $95 per month for 24 months. This special, limited-time offer lets Pearsall residents experience lightning-fast fiber internet and unmatched reliability paired with outstanding, Texas-based customer service.

The Lyte network is engineered for speed and resilience, capable of delivering speeds up to 10 Gbps. Main lines are buried underground for durability, and built-in, back-up power generators help ensure customers stay connected even during power outages.

“For the first time, every family we connect gains access to better education, greater economic opportunity, and an improved quality of life,” Old said. “We’re proud to be the company that opened that door for Pearsall.”

The network will be serviced from Lyte’s Southwest Texas regional headquarters in Uvalde and supported by a Texas-based, bilingual customer service center.

Lyte has also deepened its roots in the community beyond the network buildout. The company sponsored the Lineman Appreciation Dinner presented by the City of Pearsall and has pledged a 1 percent giveback to local schools, nonprofits, and community programs each year.

“We don’t just build networks and move on,” Old said. “Pearsall is our community, too, and we’re committed to growing with it.”

Led by an executive team with over 200 years of combined telecom experience, Lyte is proud to be rapidly expanding its fiber footprint across Texas.
