20 Years of Connection: A Thank You to the Businesses That Built Acadiana With Us

On July 16, 2005, LFT was voted on by the citizens of Lafayette.

And from that moment forward, everything changed.

What began as an ambitious idea—to build a fiber-optic network owned by the community, for the community—has grown into something far greater. For 20 years, LFT Fiber has had the honor of serving the businesses that keep Lafayette and Acadiana running.

We’ve been there with you, from the small retail shop just getting started to the enterprise operation scaling across multiple sites. We’ve helped connect restaurants, manufacturers, startups, hospitals, real estate offices, law firms, non-profits, and every type of organization in between.

Not just with internet. But with reliability, service. And a commitment to this place we call home.

Business, Built Together

We know success in Acadiana looks different than anywhere else. Here, business is personal. It’s local. And it runs on relationships, reputation, and resilience. For two decades, we’ve taken pride in being more than a utility—we’ve been a partner to the people and companies shaping this region’s future.

We’ve seen businesses grow from garage operations to regional leaders. We’ve powered videocalls, file transfers, credit card machines, and job interviews. We’ve helped companies recover from hurricanes, rebuild, expand, and compete with anyone, anywhere—because we believe Acadiana deserves the very best.

And because LFT Fiber is community-owned, every decision we make starts and ends right here. No shareholders. No boardroom in another city. Just a team of people who live here, work here, and care about what happens next.

Looking Ahead—With Gratitude

The technology will keep evolving. Our network will keep expanding. But the reason we do it won’t change.

It’s for the entrepreneurs—the risk-takers.

The family-owned shops and fast-growing teams.

The people who bet on Acadiana—and make this region stronger every day.

From everyone at LFT Fiber:
Thank you.

Thank you for letting us be part of your story.
Here’s to the next 20 years of building something even greater—together.

Let’s keep Acadiana connected.
