I'm moving to north Colorado soon, up near Fort Collins area, and I'm looking to get set up with high speed Internet. Anyone have any familiarity with Xfinity? They're offering speeds that work for me, but I'm hoping to get a feel for how consistent they are with service and how easy it is to get issues resolved.

Edit: Went with Quantum Fiber, they just came and installed today. Very happy so far!

Unfortunately it won't be available to you there. The providers have managed to screw things over and it was through heavy litigation that Longmont (and now others) have been able to start building their own internet services, however there is still a clause in place blocking us from building out beyond city limits -- unless that has changed and I missed the news. I don't think I've heard of ANY plans in Berthoud to build out a reliable service, so you may unfortunately be stuck with Xfinity.

If you do happen to move a bit further South, our fiber service goes under the name NextLight.

I checked and Quantum is offered there too, I might go with that instead since Xfinity sounds like it's absolutely horrible. We're already under contract in Berthoud, we put in a couple offers in Longmont proper but got outbid, the market there is popping!

There market everywhere around here is insane. If you don't put a bid on a house sight-unseen within a couple hours the house will be gone!

Please check into Quantum, they just have a spammy feeling to me already but maybe they're just being overly-aggressive about advertising in a new area. I don't actually know anything about them and can't make any recommendations.
