NextLight is truly an incredible service.
- lp251 3y agoa fellow longmonster!
- polpo 3y agoWe are legion! Love my NextLight.
- oh_sigh 3y agoWhat's it like living in the big city? I'm just a little Niwoter over here with no hope of ever getting Nextlight.
- MetallicCloud 3y agoI'm in Erie and get Gigabit. It's not symmetrical, but it's the best internet I've ever had.
- gaze 3y agoI just bought a house in Longmont a few weeks ago! You like it?
- wyclif 3y agoHow is Longmont as a place to live? I'm talking about quality of life issues.
- qmarchi 3y agoThere are dozens of us! Dozens! Rocking the 2.5G service, but occasionally getting up to 2.7 if they're feeling nice. Do wish that they would get IPv6 rolled out already. https://shx.nyoom.io/2023/05/r6ro6SZtV3.png https://shx.nyoom.io/2023/05/r6ro6SZtV3.png
- cashsterling 3y agoIt is proof that municipal internet can be awesome and is probably the way most municipalities should go over time. For those who don't know, Longmont Colorado's Nextlight internet service provides symmetric 1Gb/sec speed for 50 USD per month and they don't spy on your traffic. It is the most reliable residential internet service I have had to date and is more reliable than the commercial internet at my places of work in Boulder.

- bobwaycott 3y agoI don’t brag on Chattanooga, TN often, but when I do, it’s always about the municipal symmetric gig fiber—CHA/EPB was the first to do it in the US, it’s always been cheap, it’s more reliable than anything else anywhere I’ve been, no data caps or throttling, held off a Comcast lawsuit trying to stop them (so Comcast went to the state to legislate away meaningful competition), and (afaik) there’s no spying on you. I was lucky enough to build a bunch of the software used consumer-side to enable signing up for and managing fiber internet/tv/phone service, was brought in to establish and run their first internal software team, and built even more cool software to make tech support real-time, improve the lives of CSRs, and more. And they’re now getting into quantum computing. Truly a great group of people trying to take care of their city, and every time I run into anyone, I’m still impressed by what they’re doing.
- sarchertech 3y agoMoved here 4 years ago and the difference between them and comcast is insane. On one of the Chattanooga FB groups someone will occasionally ask which ISP they should use, and there will inevitably be 10+ pages of people writing EPB, EPB, EPB!
- thcipriani 3y ago+100 Yay, Longmont! My service has been rock solid: https://photos.tylercipriani.com/2023-05-25_next-light.png https://photos.tylercipriani.com/2023-05-25_next-light.png
- SplitVengeance 3y agoAnother longmonster here. Totally agree that NextLight is awesome. However, as someone that runs a nonprofit in town, I wish that business/nonprofit pricing was more reasonable.
- mplewis 3y agoNextLight is a local gem!
