i currently have one of the few municipal Internet plans in the United States.

best Internet I've ever had. gigabit symmetric fiber for a flat $60/mo. no fees, no outages, no data caps.

during the one outage i experienced in the three years I've had them i was quickly able to find multiple places to see status updates about the hardware issue they had and it was fixed in under an hour.

they also have a 2.5 gig and a 10 gig option for reasonable prices. I don't think many other companies even offer anything above 1 gig outside of business packages.

it will be difficult for me to move anywhere else. with the work that i do this has been life-changing. come to Longmont Colorado, we have good Internet, amazing mountain sunsets, and lots of tacos.

i love my government Internet. it's one of the biggest things keeping me here.
