Municipal fiber in Colorado
NextLight Business Fiber Longmont
Longmont's city-owned fiber network, built by the municipal electric utility and sold to businesses inside its service area on a published rate card.
NextLight is Longmont's own fiber network, built and run by the city's electric utility, and it is the first thing to check at any Longmont address. It is also one of the very few carriers in Colorado that prints its business prices in public. The service area is the Longmont Power and Communications electric territory, so essentially the city, and NextLight does not sell outside it.
Where NextLight is strong
- Publishes its commercial prices, which means no negotiation and nothing to discover later
- Symmetrical up to 8 Gbps, and no long term contract required
- A Longmont based team, in a market where the national carriers answer from out of state
- Consistently rated among the fastest internet providers in the country
NextLight in Colorado specifically
- Published commercial rates run from 50 Mbps at approximately $60 a month to 8 Gbps at approximately $2,700 a month, symmetrical, with no long term contract required.
- Dedicated internet access is sold but not priced publicly. The rate sheet says to call, and lists 1 to 10 Gbps as available on request.
- The enterprise product adds dedicated fiber, BGP routing and multi-site architecture across Longmont locations.
- The published service level commitment covers response times rather than uptime or latency. Read it against a carrier SLA before treating them as equivalent.
- Longmont only. A business with sites in Longmont and anywhere else needs a second carrier for the rest.
Best fit. Longmont businesses of any size, and particularly anyone who wants a price without a negotiation.
What to watch for before you sign
- Longmont only. This is a municipal utility and it does not sell outside the service area.
- Dedicated internet access is quote only. The rate sheet says to call for it and prints no price.
- The enterprise page guarantees response times, not uptime or latency. Read what the SLA actually commits to before comparing it against a carrier SLA.
- BGP routing is available on the 1 Gbps tier and above, not on the cheaper tiers.

NextLight in Colorado: common questions
Is NextLight available at my Colorado address?
Carrier footprints change constantly and no public map is accurate at the building level. We check serviceability directly with each carrier before telling you what you can get. Give us the address and we will confirm with NextLight directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.
Is NextLight the cheapest option in Colorado?
Sometimes, and it depends almost entirely on whether your building is already on their network. A carrier who is already in the building will normally beat a carrier who has to build, regardless of list pricing.
Can I buy NextLight through you at the same price?
Yes. Pricing is the same as going direct. The difference is that you get every other carrier's number at the same time, and you are not managing the process yourself.
