Leading internet provider to improve local
fiber infrastructure and accessibility, starting in Durango, Colorado
DURANGO, Colo., Feb. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Ting Internet,
a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), has announced its
plans to significantly expand its Colorado footprint and bring its highly
demanded fiber internet services to Colorado's Western Slope, starting with a full
city network build in Durango,
Colorado.
Known for its world-class customer service and lightning-fast
fiber internet, Ting currently operates in seven states across the
U.S. Locally, Ting has provided next-generation connectivity to
residents and businesses in the city of Centennial since 2016 and recently announced
its expansion into Colorado
Springs, where Ting will be the anchor tenant on Colorado
Springs Utilities' new fiber network.
"We've been proudly operating in Colorado for the past five years and are
thrilled to announce that we are expanding our footprint to provide
better connectivity throughout Colorado's Western Slope," said Jill Szuchmacher, executive vice president, Ting
Internet. "Our expertise — both nationwide and especially here
within the state — will help us quickly deliver the high speed
internet service that Coloradans deserve, and help unlock economic
development throughout the broader region."
Work in Durango is expected to
begin in spring 2022, with fiber service rolling out by the end of
the year. Ting will be Durango's
first city-wide fiber internet provider and will provide residents
and businesses with dedicated bandwidth, guaranteeing higher speeds
and more robust service reliability than traditional offerings.
Ting's planned expansion throughout the Western Slope builds on
its 2020 acquisition of Cedar Holdings Group, a local
telecommunications provider that has been serving the community
since 2001.
"Our acquisition of Cedar Holdings Group was critical in
increasing our resources and infrastructure within the Western
Slope," said Elliot Noss, CEO of
Tucows and Ting Internet. "With this, we are uniquely positioned to
expedite construction and operations within the region."
As part of its Western Slope expansion, Ting is also
participating in the current broadband provider request for
proposal (RFP) process in Cortez,
Colorado, and is in the planning stages for additional
builds in cities and towns across the Western Slope.
Residents living in Durango,
Cortez or the broader Western
Slope who would like to stay informed about Ting's expansion and
expected service dates can visit tinginternet.com/westernslope.
