"I recently had the pleasure of delivering four days of advanced fibre optics training to the technical group at Advanced Fiber Response. (AFR)
In my opinion the AFR technicians are some of the best trained people I have worked with in my years of instruction. They all exhibit a level of technical comprehension that I rarely see in the field and in addition the hands skills I observed were excellent. It was a real pleasure to work with the group and
I look forward to any further training at AFR."

"AFR has performed above my expectations and has performed in an exemplary manner. AFR took initiative in several matters that needed attention and offered solutions to potential Network problems. I highly recommend AFR to all companies that need a partnership in splicing. AFR wasn’t just a contractor to our company, but was performing like they were a part of it.” - CLEC-NBEC ISP Manager
“AFR has been our contractor of choice not only for Fiber related outages but also for trouble shooting electronics issues. They have performed extremely well in supporting our company in trouble shooting as well as engineering our fiber routes for us. They truly understand the term “to enamor your customers” and are always thinking of ways to help us better our processes and our network. They are innovative and have cutting edge equipment and do not take the cheapest and easy way out. I believe they have saved us thousands of dollars in down time and we look forward to working with AFR long into the future." - CLEC OSP Manager
“AFR’s in depth knowledge and their high level of service have proven to be a tremendous asset to meeting our company objectives. Advanced Fiber Response, Inc has been our primary fiber optic cable splicing/testing and inside plant (ISP) installation contractor performing tasks including emergency network restoration, network maintenance and trouble shooting, ISP installation, outside plant (OSP) fiber installation, fiber optic splicing, and termination, network testing and documentation. This work all performed in a very professional manner, completed efficiently and timely. AFR has also been instrumental in updating, verifying and maintaining (our) records and providing splicing/testing and documentation as required. (We) intend to maintain our relationship with Advanced Fiber Response, Inc., as I find their services provide me with the best product possible.” - CLEC OSP Engineer
“(We) have used Advanced Fiber Response (AFR) since 1998. We have called upon them many times for emergency restoration and repair of the Cities’ Fiber Optic infrastructure. Their Knowledge and expertise in fiber is top notch. They have always responded promptly and been on site within 1 hour. Their crews are well trained and work together to get our network back up and running before some contractors can even mobilize. AFR‘s closures and trays are textbook, and they leave our manholes in a neat and orderly condition. Their rates are competitive in the market and yet their work often costs less because they know what they’re doing and don’t waste any time or manpower.” - City Engineer
“AFR responds to my requests for estimates when we ask, they have been able to handle several projects at the same time and do excellent work. Dick (President, AFR) has a wide range of Fiber Optic knowledge and we have been able to draw upon his expertise many times.” - IT Corporation Project Manager
“(Our Company) has been working with AFR for the last 12 years. Presently, (Our Company) has a contract with AFR, Inc to provide emergency restoration and preventative maintenance services in the Denver metropolitan and Northern Colorado markets. These services are in addition to a majority of the ISP construction builds that take place in each of these Colorado markets that have been awarded to AFR, Inc. (Our Company) has relied upon AFR, Inc. to provide a turn key solution to manage its ISP construction builds. Therefore, AFR, Inc. provides the following services: initial project site walks, engineering and as-builts, permitting submittals, ISP construction builds (no sub-contracting), material management, fiber splicing, bi-directional testing to complete a project from start to finish without any scheduling hiccups.” - CLEC Senior Outside Plant Engineer
“AFR has responded to all of our emergency restorations projects. AFR has been available and has responded in less than ½ hour and been on site in 1 hour. Dick’s knowledge and professionalism has been evident in maintaining plant integrity during restoration procedures and during hot cuts.” - CLEC NBEC ISP Engineer
“I have been in many situations when Dick Hall is contacted for his opinion concerning difficult construction and testing situations. I would recommend AFR without any reservation.” - Telecommunications Materials Supplier
“Dick’s knowledge, skill and experience in installing, testing and maintaining fiber networks is among the best in the industry. I would not hesitate to recommend AFR for any project." - Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturer Regional Sales Manager
“You and your people jumped in and corrected the problems caused by the other splicing contractor and saved my BACON. I wish I was better verbally so I could express just how much I appreciate your attitude, professionalism and overall ability to get the job done. One word THANKS.” - CLEC NBEC Operations Manager
“We would like to extend the highest level of recommendation for services rendered by AFR. AFR has performed admirably as a vendor for the last three years and has always shown unprecedented quality and workmanship. AFR is the preferred vendor for any splicing on our fiber optic network in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska covering over 320,000 square miles of area. AFR has always been the first company to respond to unforeseen emergency fiber cuts and has religiously bent over backward to help (our company). Strong quality, dependable staff and management as well as competitive pricing have made AFR the number one fiber optic company in the area. [Our Company] will continue to utilize the professional services of AFR and would highly recommend them to anyone needing any fiber optic work completed.” - CLEC OSP Manager
