Longmont Power and Communications announced Tuesday night that some residents in south-central Longmont will be able to sign up for city-provided fiber optic Internet Nov. 3

Plus, LPC introduced the city council to the futuristic moniker for the high-speed fiber optic Internet that will eventually permeate the city NextLight.

NextLight Residential Rates

1 gigabit/sec speed for $99.95/month or $49.95/month if customer signs up in first three months of neighborhood availability

25 megabit/sec speed for $39.95 a month

The first area of Longmont to gain access to the fiber optic Internet service is a small triangular area of 500 homes roughly bordered by Pike Road, South Sunset Street, Holly Avenue and Lefthand Drive.

On Nov. 3, those potential customers can call LPC and schedule an installation crew to come to their home, LPC Director Thomas Roiniotis said.

The homeowner and the installation crew will then discuss where to extend the fiber optic cables underground in the backyard into the side of the house. LPC will not charge installation fees nor charge to lease a modem, Roiniotis added.
