Getting Up To Speed

Much as I love winter, I have to admit that it moves S-L-O-W. As in slow driving on the roads. Or slow and careful steps on the sidewalk. Or slow reactions from those who would much rather be hibernating.

So with spring just a short leap away, let’s pick up the pace a bit.

It’s time to talk speed. Speedometer ending in 2022

For NextLight, that’s a familiar conversation. After all, we’ve been named one of the fastest ISPs in the nation every year since 2018. Your support has made a big difference in that, with many of you revving up the PC Mag speed test into overdrive each year to demonstrate just how good your connection is.

Well … ladies and gentlemen, we’re asking you to start your engines once more.

Yeah, it’s time for the annual reminder to wave the flag and take that speed test yet again, so that the rest of the nation can see what NextLight’s capable of. We’ve heard from you repeatedly about what NextLight has meant to you for work, school or recreation, whether it’s crossing the digital divide or exploring our TV Solutions for streaming alternatives. (Heck, some of you have even talked up NextLight to a friend and gotten a discount for it!) And when you put us in the spotlight – well, that gives us an opportunity to brag about you even as you brag about us. It’s a sweet deal.

We know you count on us. With so much of life online, it makes a difference to have a fiber connection that’s fast, reliable and has no data caps. We’ve been proud to keep powering you up with that for the last seven years and we’ll keep doing it for many, many years to come. Together, we make all of Longmont a community worth shouting about.

So go ahead. Take a few seconds and click the speed test link. As always, make sure to experiment with the server options they provide – some are better at capturing our speed than others!

 Let’s show the country that even in a Colorado winter, we still know how to move.
