In August 2014, the big build got under way. And Longmont has never been the same.

That’s when NextLight started to be built, a community network so new it didn’t even have a name yet. But what it did have was a ton of community support – and ten years later, we’re glad to say that hasn’t changed one bit.

And that’s as cool as any 10-gigabit line ever made.

Now this isn’t the big birthday. Not yet. That comes in November when the first-ever customers hooked up to NextLight’s blinding speed. This milestone is still the time of jackhammers, conduit, dreams and potential. But even so, it’s a great vantage point to look out and see just what Longmont’s residents and businesses made possible.

Because of that devotion, Longmont customers have a network that’s often been recognized among the fastest in the nation.

Because of that support, Longmont customers have gotten NextLight recognized as a top choice for home and business.

Because of that trust, Longmont has a powerful work-from-home environment. And well-protected WiFi that lets families set parental controls and priorities. And local options for households in need to get help with their internet costs, even after federal programs for that have gone away.

And yes, because of that dream, Longmont has a network where gig service isn’t just a good thing, it’s the norm.

Thank you for all of that. And for everything that’s still ahead.

And if you still haven’t tried out NextLight’s gig speed – or our high-powered WiFi that can let all your devices capture more of it – don’t forget to try out our free month of service or even an opportunity to lock in a bundled price for life.

After all, we’re still in groundbreaking times.

And we’re glad to have you along for the ride.
