High speed hearts

Show the Love, Share the Speed

It’s almost Valentine’s Day – the time of year when people show their affection with flowers, chocolates and internet speed tests. ""

Wait, what?

Yes, that’s a thing. Year after year, our NextLight customers have shown their appreciation – and maybe just a little pride – by taking the PC Magazine speed test. That’s the same one that PC Mag uses to rank the nation’s fastest ISPs every summer, a list that has seen NextLight among the leaders since 2018. It’s a great way to show the nation what Longmont can do.

But it’s more than just bragging rights. It’s also a reminder to the entire country of what internet service can be.

When we began building out Longmont in 2014, we wanted to provide internet service that the whole community could be proud of. Fast. Reliable. And most of all, focused on what Longmont’s homes and businesses need. That’s a pretty wide spectrum – schools, homes, industries, downtown stores – and it’s why from the start we aimed to make Longmont a “Gig City.”

And every time that gets recognized, whether it’s for blinding speed or great gaming or supporting the ability to work from home … well, that’s a celebration of our customers and all the cool ways they use NextLight.

In fact, it’s a love letter to the entire community.

So take just a few seconds. Rev up your fiber-optic connection and get everyone’s spirits racing.

That sends a message as clear as any candy heart.
