Fort Collins Connexion Business Fiber

Connexion is Fort Collins' city-owned fiber utility and should be checked first at any address inside the city. It publishes flat business prices up to 1 Gbps, and above that it sells transport, dark fiber and multi-site networking on a quote. It is the only municipal network in the state that publishes actual service level terms.

Where Fort Collins Connexion is strong

• Flat published business pricing, symmetrical, no data caps, equipment included
• Publishes real SLA terms on its professional tiers rather than gesturing at them
• Dark fiber throughout Fort Collins, plus high capacity transport to meet-me points in Denver and Cheyenne
• Geographically diverse paths north through Cheyenne and south through Denver, which is rare for a city network

Fort Collins Connexion in Colorado specifically

• Published business rates are approximately $120 a month for 250 Mbps, $200 for 500 Mbps and $400 for 1 Gbps, symmetrical, with no data caps and equipment included.
• The enterprise tier quotes internet up to 10 Gbps and transport up to 100 Gbps in either direction.
• Dark fiber throughout Fort Collins, plus high capacity transport to meet-me points in Denver and Cheyenne.
• Diverse physical paths north through Cheyenne and south through Denver, which is unusual for a city network and matters on this terrain.
• The published commitment is 99.9 percent uptime with a one hour response and repair started within four hours, on the professional tiers. No service credits are published.
• Install fees are waived on a three year term, so the monthly price is flat but the up front cost depends on the term you sign.
• The multi-site VPLS product reaches Fort Collins, Loveland and Estes Park. That is a private network product and not the same thing as buying an internet circuit at a Loveland address.

Best fit. Fort Collins businesses, multi-site private networks across northern Colorado, and anyone who needs dark fiber inside the city.

What to watch for before you sign

• Fort Collins city limits. The multi-site product reaches further than the internet service does.
• Install fees are waived on a three year term. The monthly price is flat, the install is not.
• The 10 Gbps internet figure is an upper bound on the enterprise tier, not a tier you can order at the published prices.
• The published SLA commits to 99.9 percent uptime with a four hour repair start. No service credits are published, so ask what happens when it is missed.

What a Colorado business pays, and how to judge a quote from Fort Collins Connexion

Business internet is priced per address, so there is no Fort Collins Connexion rate card anyone can hold them to. What follows is what businesses in Colorado typically pay at a building that is already lit, whichever carrier serves it. Use it to judge the quote you get.

What installation usually costs

Contract term

• 36 months is the usual starting point for business fiber and dedicated internet. 12 and 24 month terms exist and normally cost more per month.
• 60 months buys the biggest discount and the largest construction contribution, which is why it is worth pricing even if you do not sign it.
• Ask for the construction charge at 36 months and at 60 months as two separate numbers. That gap is the real negotiation.
• Check the renewal and the annual escalator before the monthly price. A cheap year one with an automatic uplift is not a cheap contract.
