Notes from the field.
Empire Access Fiber Internet in Ithaca: 2 Gig Pricing & Hardware
We just signed up for Empire Access 2-Gig symmetric fiber in Ithaca. Here is what we paid, the hardware we run behind it, the dark fiber and construction story that made it possible, and why multi-gig still matters in a house where nothing has a NIC faster than 1 Gbps.

Every year around the draft, the same question comes up: how many of these picks actually stick? We went looking for a real answer, couldn't find one, and built it ourselves.

Most software projects ship without tests, CI, or security audits. We take repos from zero infrastructure to production-grade, delivered as a pull request.

"Pete is a true professional. He took the time to understand what I needed and delivered a site that exceeded my expectations. Responsive, reliable, and easy to work with."
Today we build platforms that help businesses grow the same way we did: organically, through real connections, with 15 years of IT experience behind every project.
Inspired by community. Grown organically. Built to deliver.
We started just like you. An idea, a passion, and a desire to connect with others and build something that brought our creative vision to life. In 2007 we were making the drive from Buffalo to Ithaca every chance we got for GrassRoots Festival, local shows, and long weekends in the Finger Lakes. Back home it was Thursday at the Square and the Buffalo music scene. We were taping shows, shooting photos, and writing reviews. We needed a place to put it all, so we taught ourselves to build a website and launched bandsthatjam.com.
That passion project grew into something bigger. GrassRoots gave us our first photo passes. Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad gave us our first real client work. We started Brooks New Media as a way to help others grow like we had. The work grew beyond the music scene. Local businesses, law firms, event planners, e-commerce stores. Every project came through a connection, a referral, a handshake. That is how we have always grown.
In 2018 we made the move to Ithaca, the community that had been pulling us in for years. We connected with the GrassRoots Festival team, helped bring Ithaca Reggae Fest online, and put down roots.
