Municipal fiber in Colorado
Loveland Pulse Business Fiber
Loveland's city-owned fiber network. Sells business service from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, symmetrical and unthrottled, priced on a quote rather than a rate card.
Pulse is Loveland's city-owned fiber network and the first thing to check inside its service area. It sells business service from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps, symmetrical and unthrottled. Unlike Longmont and Fort Collins it does not publish business prices, so the number comes from asking.
Where Loveland Pulse is strong
- Symmetrical and genuinely unlimited, with no throttling and no data cap
- Range runs to 10 Gbps, which is well past what a city network is usually assumed to carry
- Locally run, and the build reaches into unincorporated Larimer County through a county partnership
- Static IPs, BGP routing and VLAN connections are all available

- Speeds run from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, symmetrical, with unlimited bandwidth and no throttling.
- Static IPs, BGP routing and VLAN fiber connections are all available.
- A service level agreement is a paid option rather than standard, and the published uptime figure is explicitly not a guarantee.

- The service area is Loveland and Timnath, plus unincorporated parts of Larimer County through a county partnership. Being in the county is not the same as being on the network.

What a Colorado business pays, and how to judge a quote from Loveland Pulse
Business internet is priced per address, so there is no Loveland Pulse 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.
| Bandwidth | Dedicated internet, monthly | Business fiber broadband, monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 50 Mbps | approximately $329 | approximately $100 |
| 100 Mbps | approximately $369 | approximately $100 |
| 200 Mbps | approximately $464 | approximately $150 |
| 500 Mbps | approximately $499 | approximately $200 |
| 1 Gbps | approximately $680 | approximately $400 |
| 10 Gbps | approximately $2,500 | approximately $2,500 |
What installation usually costs
| Situation | Typical up front cost | What is happening |
|---|---|---|
| Building already lit | $0 to $500 | The carrier is already inside. A cross connect and a router. |
| Short lateral build | $0 to $15,000 | Fiber runs nearby. Carriers often absorb some or all of it on a longer term. |
| Long or difficult build | $15,000 to six figures | Real construction. Permits, trenching, possible crossings. |
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.

Loveland Pulse in Colorado: common questions
Is Loveland Pulse 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 Loveland Pulse directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.
How much does Loveland Pulse business internet cost in Colorado?
Business internet is priced per address, so there is no Loveland Pulse rate card to quote, and a site that shows you one is guessing. In Colorado we typically quote approximately $329 a month for 50 Mbps of dedicated internet and approximately $680 for 1 Gbps, at a building that is already lit. Business fiber broadband at 1 Gbps typically runs approximately $400. Construction, contract term and which carriers reach the building move the real number.
Is Loveland Pulse 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 Loveland Pulse 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.
