Colorado Springs Utilities has signed a 30-year lease agreement with gFiber, a Google-owned internet service provider, making the company the primary tenant on the city’s public fiber network. The agreement replaces Ting in that role, with the transition expected to be completed by early 2027.
The change concerns which provider serves as the network’s main tenant. The available information does not specify whether or how the agreement will affect individual customers, service plans, prices or network coverage. It also does not describe the terms of the lease beyond its 30-year duration.
The exact date the agreement was signed was not provided. No details were given about the steps involved in the transition, whether construction or other network work is planned, or what arrangements Ting may have during the transition period. The information provided also does not state whether customers need to take any action.
The transition is expected to be completed by early 2027, but no specific completion date was identified. Colorado Springs Utilities’ public fiber network and gFiber’s role as its primary tenant are the central elements of the agreement; further operational and customer details were not included in the announcement summary.
