About broadband in Lafayette
Lafayette is served by LFT Fiber, the city-owned network run by Lafayette Utilities System, which served its first customers in February 2009 as the first municipally owned fiber-to-the-home provider in Louisiana, after voters approved it in a July 2005 referendum. LUS Fiber rebranded as LFT Fiber in April 2025. Using the state GUMBO program and federal grants, the network has extended fiber beyond Lafayette into surrounding Acadiana parishes including Acadia and Evangeline.
