TING GROWS PRESENCE IN COLORADO, BRINGING 2-GIGABIT FIBER INTERNET TO THORNTON

Ting Internet, a division of Tucows Inc., will be bringing its high-speed, reliable two-gigabit fibre Internet to Thornton, Colo.

Known for its world-class customer support and dedication to the communities in which it operates, Ting already provides lightning-fast, low-latency fibre Internet for Colorado residents and businesses across Centennial, Colorado Springs and the Western Slope. With Ting's symmetrical residential Internet plans starting at $89 per month, Thornton residents can enjoy fibre Internet speeds of up to 2,000 megabits per second. Ting also offers fully customizable plans tailored to the needs of businesses, enterprises, homeowner associations and multifamily dwellings, which can be created in collaboration with Ting's enterprise team.

"Investing in fibre Internet isn't just about faster downloads, it's about building regional economic vitality. A fibre network in Thornton means long-term economic opportunities and resilience that will benefit both residents and businesses for years to come," said Deb Walker, community engagement and public affairs manager, Ting. "Ting is proud to help build a brighter, more prosperous future for Thornton by bringing our two-gig fibre Internet and unparalleled customer service to the city."

Ting will lead the citywide build in Thornton, with plans to provide service to nearly 60,000 addresses, ensuring that residents across the city can benefit from its reliable fibre Internet. As part of the agreement, Ting has committed to expanding the city's network infrastructure by 50,000 feet and will also be providing free Wi-Fi service to at least four public parks.

"For years, people in the city of Thornton have told us they want options and competition for high-speed broadband services in our city. We could not be happier that we reached agreement with Ting to come in and provide their two-gigabit service to the residents and businesses in Thornton," said Mayor Jan Kulmann. "Ting brings a reputable track record for providing quality service and we believe our partnership with them will enhance the quality of life for residents in Thornton."

The fibre Internet service provider anticipates network construction to start in March of this year, with Internet service becoming available in initial neighbuorhoods by June, 2024. Ting expects to complete construction by the end of 2028.
