The story
Blue Stream Fiber was founded in 1975 as Coral Springs Cablevision, a local cable television provider serving Coral Springs, Florida.
Following acquisition by Schurz Communications in 1978, the company expanded and rebranded as Advanced Cable Communications.
In 1999, the company launched its internet services and went on to deploy its first fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure within select communities in 2001, marking an early transition toward fiber-based broadband delivery. In 2015, it introduced gigabit-speed services as part of its continued broadband network upgrades.
In August 2016, Schurz Communications sold Advanced Cable Communications to private investment firm Twin Point Capital. The company later rebranded as Blue Stream Fiber, reflecting a strategic shift from traditional cable operations to a fiber-focused telecommunications model.
In 2020, private equity firm GI Partners acquired a majority stake in Blue Stream Fiber, supporting further network investment and geographic expansion. That same year, the company acquired ITS Fiber, expanding its footprint throughout Florida's Treasure Coast.
In 2024, Sixth Street joined GI Partners as a strategic investor in Blue Stream Fiber. Also in 2024, the company announced expansion into Texas with plans to enter the Houston market, marking its first major growth outside Florida.
