The Town of Timnath, located just east of Fort Collins, is one of Northern Colorado’s fastest growing communities. Because of that, the town is now investing more than $20 million to offer locally-owned broadband services to their residents and businesses.
Pulse, the service provider the City of Loveland owns and operates, has started installing high speed internet to the Town of Timnath as part of a new partnership.
“We are really excited,” said Brieana Reed-Harmel, broadband manager for Pulse. “There is conduit going into the ground.”
Because Timnath is growing from a farming community to a town filled with brand new neighborhoods, town officials surveyed residents to see if there was demand for locally-owned broadband service in the community. According to Aaron Adams, the town’s manager, more than 80% of people polled responded in favor of having a not-for-profit broadband service as an option.
