Powering Up (Full Speed Ahead blog)

Ready for an epic speedrun or an unbeatable battle royale? Here’s the PC Magazine path to gaming success: 

 

  1. Live in Longmont or Loveland 
  2. Connect to their sweet community-owned fiber  
  3. Dance on the shattered pixels of your digital foes 

 

You see, PC Mag just did its annual ranking of the Best Gaming ISPs for 2026. And when the dust cleared, Loveland’s Pulse and Longmont’s NextLight internet were standing on top of the heap with near-identical scores.  

 

Solid, high-quality connections? Got ‘em.   

 

Budget-friendly pricing? Locked in.   

 

Customer satisfaction that’s strong enough to bring down an Ender Dragon? Better believe it.  

 

If you’re an old hand with NextLight, you’re probably not surprised by any of this. After all, that’s why Longmont voted to build a fiber network in the first place – to have an internet service that works for the community. After all, fast and consistent fiber doesn’t just power great gaming connections (though that is awesome). It’s also what ties a remote business together. Or keeps family close at the holidays across time zones. Or even makes for one heck of a New Year’s movie marathon.  

 

So if you have a Longmont friend who’s game to try something new,  introduce them to NextLight. They get to see what great internet is really like. You get a $50 discount for referring them. Everybody wins – except maybe the opponents in your next big streaming shootout.  

 

And if they’re not a Longmont friend yet, you might want to see if they’re willing to move.   

 

After all, great gaming doesn’t happen just anywhere. Â
