Anvil Mountain is an affordable housing project funded by a collaboration between the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the Town of Silverton, and San Juan County, in Colorado. FORETHOUGHT.net partnered with Silverton and San Juan County to bring its fiber-optic Internet to the new project. “Today, affordability includes not just the housing, but the utilities too – and our high speed fiber internet will allow residents of Anvil Mountain to be connected with big-city services at low big-city prices, while enjoying the quality of life of Silverton”, said Sid Arnold, Western Slope Manager for FORETHOUGHT.net. Jawaid Bazyar, President, added “This reaffirms our commitment to modern broadband in San Juan County. We now provide internet from 150Mbps up to gigabit speeds throughout San Juan County, Colorado. Combining our Town of Silverton, Cascade Village, and Anvil deployments, we now offer affordable modern broadband to 99% of San Juan County residents and businesses.”… read more →

We are proud to have been chosen by the Eagle Valley Library District to provide fiber-optic Internet service to the Libraries in Eagle, Colorado and Gypsum, Colorado. By leveraging our existing fiber-optic backbone in western Eagle County, we were able to provide the Library District modern, gigabit-level fiber Internet service for an amazing price – in fact, we are providing a 50 times speed increase to the libraries for less than half the price they are paying today for service from the incumbent. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of our upcoming investments in fiber optic Internet and modern wireless broadband in Eagle County – more announcements coming in the next 1-2 months.

I am thrilled to announce that FORETHOUGHT.net will be developing a true fiber to the home network in the Cascade Village community north of Durango, Colorado near the Purgatory ski resort. There are over 200 homes in this community. The project design involves extending fiber from Purgatory to Cascade Village, then installing fiber cable directly to each home in Cascade Village. In addition to offering true Gigabit Fiber Internet to every housing unit that is part of Cascade Village, we will provide telephone service, and, a little later in the year, beautiful HD quality TV programming over the Internet connection. We brought together an incredible coalition dedicated to dramatically changing the broadband landscape in rural Colorado. We received more than 60 letters of support from the community – residents, businesses, county and local governments, and the Southwest Colorado Council of Governments. Project funding comes from the Colorado Broadband Fund, Cascade… read more →
