CenturyLink trumps Comcast, others to power gigabit fiber development in Denver

CenturyLink announced that it will be the exclusive broadband provider to up to 12,000 homes in a new development in southern Denver (CO). CenturyLink will offer its services – including a wireless access point and the opportunity to add its Prism TV offering – to residents at the development starting at $85 per month. CenturyLink will run up to 1 Gbps services over Lumiere Fiber’s network at the development. Lumiere Fiber is an affiliate of Sterling Ranch Development Company, the company behind the massive development.

As the exclusive provider of fiber services, CenturyLink appears to have beaten Comcast and others to supply services in the 3,400-acre, master-planned community dubbed Sterling Ranch. “Sterling Ranch’s vision to elevate their infrastructure to give residents forward-thinking digital experiences like eHealth, distance learning, community engagement and smart home control presents a unique opportunity for CenturyLink to deliver an exceptional broadband service offering speeds up to 1 gigabit per second to an entire community,” said Chris Denzin, vice president of national field and partner sales for CenturyLink.
