FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sparklight® Recognized for Network Consistency, Low Latency in Longview by Ookla®
LONGVIEW, Texas, (July 30, 2025) – Sparklight®, Longview’s hometown internet provider, has been recognized for delivering the most consistent internet performance and lowest latency in Longview for the first half of 2025,* according to Ookla®, the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights.
Network consistency measures how reliably customers experience high-performance internet speeds, while latency reflects how quickly data travels between devices and servers — an integral factor for video calls, online gaming and real-time applications.
The recognitions were based on results of consumer-initiated tests conducted through Ookla’s Speedtest® platform.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition from Ookla because it’s based on real feedback from the customers who rely on our service every day,” said Kenny Walker, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, South Central. “We remain focused on investing in and enhancing our network to deliver the speed and reliability our customers expect, supporting everything from remote work and streaming to the growing number of connected devices in their homes. This recognition reinforces the impact our continued investments are making in keeping customers connected to what matters most.”
Sparklight provides Longview residential customers with up to 6 Gig internet speeds, supporting seamless streaming, gaming, remote work, smart home connectivity and more. For businesses, Sparklight Business delivers up to 10 Gig fiber-powered internet and tailored solutions for industries including education, healthcare, government, financial services and hospitality.
Through a partnership with eero, an Amazon company, Sparklight also offers intelligent whole-home Wi-Fi with advanced security, device management tools and parental controls.
Over the past three years, Sparklight has invested more than $1 billion across its footprint to enhance connectivity for the communities it serves.
