OUR STORY
The story behind Rio Broadband has a much longer history than the name… Fred Tips, the owner and mastermind behind it all, was once working in the diamond business. As much as his wife loved that job for him, he felt passion for a more technologically savvy career. He started Carrera Communications in 1993, where he specialized in phone services for businesses.
Fred realized in 2005 that the way of the future was internet, so he sold Carrera and started Phoenix Broadband. With the new company, he focused solely on providing internet to rural Pleasanton. His son, Quatro, started working with him in 2011 and the duo really hit the ground running.
We pride ourselves on being a very family oriented business - now with both sons, Fred’s mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law working for the company. We value like all of our employees are family, and we hope they feel the same. Some have even been known to name their pets after us! Shoutout to Rhonda’s Rio the dog, and Joshua’s Phoenix the longhorn!
Fred and Quatro have grown the business to have multiple markets, and decided another rebrand was necessary. This allows them to streamline everything and to create more cohesive experience for all. That’s where we are now - the birth of Rio Broadband.
To all of our customers that have stuck around with us through the good days and the lightning storms - we thank you very much!
