Lumen Technologies, the parent of CenturyLink, is preparing to roll out 8G service in Douglas County this year and next
A handful of providers are offering 1G service, including Verizon 5G Internet at $64.99 a month, Google Fiber Webpass for $63 a month and CenturyLink, which provides a 940 Mbps service, essentially 1G, for $70 a month, according to BroadbandNow.
For years, Lumen, through its Quantum Fiber subsidiary, has pushed to get its fiber optic network into new communities and it has gone back into existing ones to add it, an expensive process. For years, it has lagged behind Comcast for the network speeds it could provide, especially without a fiber connection.
But that raises the question of how will consumers use all that capacity, especially in a market where 1G was the gold standard and once considered more than enough. Given that some parts of Colorado are still struggling to reach consistent speeds in the 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps range, the big leap forward raises the perennial questions of equity and access.
