Dorothy had it right. There’s no place like home.

Mind you, over the last couple of years, it sometimes felt like there was no place but home. Thanks to the pandemic, remote work became common. So did remote school, remote visiting, remote chances of the Broncos making the Super Bowl … well, we were already kind of used to that last one.

But as the surges settle down – for now, at least – remote working remains common. A recent survey by Pew Research found that about 60% of workers who could work from home were doing so, and that 61% of those were doing it by choice.  So communities that fit that model have a certain advantage. 

Communities like, say, Longmont, Colorado.

PC Magazine recently ranked Longmont among the top 20 work-from-home cities in the nation. A lot of factors went into those ratings – such as housing and co-working spaces or open space opportunities when you just have to get out – but the top consideration should be a familiar one to NextLight fans.  

“The number-one requirement for a good work-from-home location is fast, reliable Internet access,” the magazine wrote. “For us, that means fiber.”

Familiar story, right? One reason that NextLight has kept on growing is because Longmont knows that fast, affordable, reliable fiber internet makes such a huge difference in so many areas. Like connecting students. Or speeding up businesses. Or even making television a more enjoyable experience, through our TV Solutions options and our lack of data caps.

So if you’ve decided the best place for your office is right above the kitchen, we’ve got you covered. And if your home office is new to NextLight, check us out. It’s a great way to give yourself the home-field advantage.
