    is this free internet within the city

    jokerpoker asked over 4 years ago

    Thanks for your question. Pulse is not free internet for the city, but it is community-owned internet service that will be available to every home and business within the City over the next 3-4 years. 

    The City strives to be an ideal location for ALL people to live, work, and play. As a community-owned and non-profit service, we exist to serve our customers. We believe that high-speed, reliable internet service should be available to everyone in Loveland – today and into the future. We offer choice, competitive prices, high speeds and will provide the same excellent customer service for broadband that you have come to know and expect from Loveland Water and Power. 

    If you are interested in signing up for service updates, you can fill out our Early Interest Form at http://bit.ly/PulseEarlyInterest to know when service will be available in your area. We plan to announce service and package details in the first half of 2020. We hope that information helps.

    Steve asked almost 4 years ago

    Hi Steve - Thanks for reaching out. We are glad you are excited for Pulse service but are also sorry to hear about your current frustration. Hopefully, you can make the best decision for your home at the current time with the information we have available. We will be offering high-speed internet and phone service and are currently evaluating TV service. Service details will be announced soon and service rollout will begin later this year. We are not disclosing a service map for rollout, but if you fill out our Early Interest Form (LovelandPulse.com/EarlyInterest) you will receive an email directly when service is available in your neighborhood. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and hope to work with you in the future. Let us know if you have any other questions we could help with.

  • Share I would be interested in understanding the plan to get the fiber to each home.

    Tim Bunger asked almost 4 years ago

    Hi Tim - Happy to answer your questions. Our network has three parts: the core network, distribution network, and customer connections. The fiber installation happening now (and over the next 3-4 years) is for the core and distribution networks. The core network and telecommunications huts are what connect the City to telecommunications hubs across the U.S. The distribution network is installed across the city and with the ability to connect to every customer. Customer connections are the last piece, connecting homes or businesses to the rest of the network. They are only installed when a customer subscribes to service. Most of the street construction for customer connections is also happening over the next 3-4 years, but there will be some minimal street construction needed to lay fiber to some locations that subscribe. Fiber vaults will be located in neighborhoods and fiber will need to be pulled from these vaults to homes to activate service. Throughout the process, construction crews will be as minimally invasive as possible. Following construction work, they will restore landscaping and clean up after themselves when finished. We hope that answers your question. Feel free to check out our construction FAQs for more details: https://www.letstalkloveland.org/4552/widgets/14281/documents/9119/download

    Hi Chris - Thank you for your email. For the most part, our construction is happening in right of ways and front lots. If for some reason, we need to access that area, the team will let you know. We also have some other FAQs outlined at LovelandPulse.com/PulseInProgress in case that helps. Thanks for your question and let us know if we can help with anything else.

    Thank you for your interest in Pulse! We will not be releasing maps or timelines regarding construction or service availability. That would release proprietary information that could be misused by competitors. We do have an Early Interest Form on the website and encourage you to sign up for that so we can contact you directly when service is coming to your area. Find it here: LovelandPulse.com/EarlyInterest. We will announce service details and sign-up our first customers in the first half of 2020. We hope that information is helpful and thanks again for reaching out.

    Thank you for your interest in Pulse! We will not be releasing maps or timelines regarding construction or service availability. That would release proprietary information that could be misused by competitors. Instead, we have other, proactive communication measures in place to ensure that residents have appropriate notice. For construction, all residents will receive an informational letter in the mail prior to construction, then a door hanger will be placed on their door several days before work begins. Once we are done, we will issue a final door hanger. For service updates, residents can fill out our Early Interest Form on the website (LovelandPulse.com/EarlyInterest) which will allow us to contact residents directly once service is coming to their area. Let us know if you have any questions and thanks again for reaching out.

We will be announcing service offering specifics in the next three to four months and will be able to give you more details at that time. We know you are excited to make the right plans for your family and we appreciate your patience as we finalize some details to prepare for service. Thanks again.

    John Norton asked about 4 years ago

    Thank you for your interest in Pulse! During construction, crews will boar under the street, bringing fiber to the opposite side depending on the location. When it is time to connect homes or businesses to the rest of the network, our installation partner, On Trac, will install fiber to the premise (FTTP) to connect residential and business customers to the network as they sign up for services. 

    Getting the entire city up and running on Pulse will take 3-4 years and service availability may not follow the same construction path that is happening now. 

    If you are interested in receiving a notification as soon as service is available in your area, please fill out our Early Interest Form at LovelandPulse.com/EarlyInterest. Thank you!
