Ting Internet taps Colorado utility’s fiber network to enter largest market yet

Ting Internet geared up to tackle its largest market yet, striking a deal with Colorado Springs Utilities to become the anchor tenant on a city-wide fiber network the electric, water and gas company plans to build. The forthcoming fiber network will pass upwards of 200,000 addresses, with construction set to begin by Q3 of this year. Ting said it plans to hire a dedicated team to serve Colorado Springs (CO) customers and expects to begin providing service in the city in 2023. Ting Internet, which is owned by Tucows, began offering fiber services in 2015 and serves more than 10 cities across California, Colorado, Idaho, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia. The company has recently been working to expand its Ting Internet footprint, striking a deal to acquire fiber and fixed wireless access provider Simply Bits in October 2021 to give it a foothold in the state of Arizona.
