Ting Launches 2-Gigabit Fiber Internet in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Ting Internet, a division of Tucows, has announced its 2-gigabit fiber internet is now available in initial Colorado Springs neighborhoods. The company already provides internet for Colorado residents and businesses across Centennial and the Western Slope. Customers in Colorado Springs will now be able to sign up for Ting's 2-gigabit fiber internet for $89 per month, which provides both download and upload speeds of 2,000 megabits per second (Mbps).

"At Ting, we believe the internet is a crucial part of our day-to-day lives — it's a utility like water or electricity. While other internet service providers may throttle the network to different levels as a pricing strategy, we don't do that. If our network can support 2 gigabits, that's what we're giving our customers at one fair price," said Deb Walker, Community Engagement and Public Affairs Manager, Ting. "As a resident of Colorado Springs, I'm proud to be a part of the team bringing this world-class offering to my own community and providing fiber internet service throughout our city."

Ting will also offer 2-gigabit symmetrical internet to all Colorado Springs residents who qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) at no cost to them. While currently only available in select markets, in time Ting expects to roll out the 2-gigabit ACP offering to its markets across the country, making a tangible difference in bridging the digital divide by providing thousands of residents with access to fast, reliable internet at no cost.

"Colorado Springs Utilities is laying the foundation for our digital future with our fiber network upgrade. It will allow us to continue to provide safe, reliable utilities services as technologies, tools, and customer expectations continue to evolve," says Travas Deal, CEO of Colorado Springs Utilities. "Today we are excited to see Ting, our initial anchor tenant, leverage that same fiber infrastructure to bring even more value and choice to our city."

Ting was identified as the initial anchor tenant on a city-wide fiber network owned by Colorado Springs Utilities in early 2022. Serving one of Colorado's most populous cities, the municipal utility has been building next-generation fiber infrastructure that will advance opportunities and improve technological resilience throughout the community for decades to come. When complete, the network expects to be able to serve more than 200,000 addresses across the entire community, bringing modern fiber infrastructure to all of Colorado Springs.

Ting's fiber internet is currently available in northeast neighborhoods and is steadily expanding across all of Colorado Springs, with full municipal access expected by the end of 2028.
