Hitting the Road (Full Speed Ahead blog)

Nobody wants to see a Corvette tearing down the sidewalk at 75 mph. Or a pedestrian jogging down the middle of I-25. At least, not outside a really wild action movie.

 

Each has different needs. So they pick the road that fits those needs.  And when you shift from on the road to online, the same truth applies.

 

That’s why Longmont’s fiber-optic NextLight internet offers a lot of possibilities for a customer to choose from. After all, you know your needs best – and whether your cyber journey requires sneakers, a racing bike or a Maserati, we’re there for you.  It all depends on the pace you want to set:

 

Nice and Easy – Maybe your internet use is really light: you mostly do some online shopping on payday, email like it’s going out of style, or plunge into the depths of Reddit and TV Tropes chasing an obscure pop culture fact. Or maybe there’s just one or two of you at home and you’re rarely online at the same time. If that’s, you might consider a 100-megabit NextLight home connection.

 

Off and Running – Longmont residents love to brag that they’ve “got the gig” and there’s a reason. A gigabit NextLight connection fits a wide variety of needs and situations, whether it’s a professional photographer sending out multiple blasts of high-quality pictures, a remote office worker with seven different video meetings before noon, or just a large and busy household with half a dozen smartphones, three tablets and laptops, a streaming TV and a smart device to water the lawn on time. 

 

Tearing up the Miles – With a 2.5 gigabit connection, you’re starting to see the serious NextLight power users, like folks who do a lot of 4k video editing, or work in IT, or do hardcore gaming with half a dozen roommates simultaneously. This is powerful enough to download a typical movie in 30 seconds or less – just the thing if you’re about to dash to the airport and forgot to queue up something to watch on the trip.

 

Warp Speed, Captain! – The NextLight 10-gigabit connection is for the fastest of the fast – the super tech-savvy folks who know cutting-edge speeds like the back of their hand and have BIG bandwidth needs. These are the networking pros who run an IT business from home, the computer gurus who need unlimited device support, or the folks dealing with ridiculously detailed satellite or medical imagery for a living. Suspenders aren’t required, but it doesn’t hurt.

 

So check out our offerings and see what fits. And when you’re ready to hit the road, give us a call.
 

We’re happy to help you get up to speed.
