Metronet to Build 100% Fiber Internet in Castle Rock and Castle Pines

Privately Funded $38 Million Project Marks Another Milestone in Company’s Colorado Expansion

EVANSVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Metronet announced today that it will begin building 100% fiber-optic networks in both Castle Rock and Castle Pines, Colorado, late this summer. With agreements signed in both communities, Metronet is moving forward with a $38 million private investment to bring ultra-fast, symmetrical fiber internet to tens of thousands of homes and local businesses in the two cities.

In partnership with T-Mobile Fiber, Metronet’s fiber networks power world-class multigigabit internet speeds that support streaming, remote work, gaming, telehealth, and other bandwidth-intensive activities.

Commercial internet service with speeds up to 10 Gbps will be offered to local businesses by Metronet directly. More information on commercial services can be found at metronetbusiness.com.

As Metronet builds the fiber network, residents can sign up for T-Mobile Fiber — delivering fast, reliable internet with plans starting at just $55/month for 500 Mbps with Fiber AutoPay and a T-Mobile voice line. Every plan includes unlimited data, ultra-fast symmetrical speeds — and no annual contracts, equipment fees or installation charges. And only T-Mobile Fiber customers get the Un-carrier experience including a 5-year price guarantee (exclusions like taxes and fees apply), on top of benefits like weekly perks on dining, gas and entertainment with T-Mobile Tuesdays, free season-long subscriptions to MLB.TV and MLS Season Pass and more. Residents can find more information and confirm T-Mobile Fiber availability in their area at fiber.t-mobile.com.

In both Castle Pines and Castle Rock, construction will be completed neighborhood by neighborhood. To keep communities informed during construction, Metronet will communicate via mail with residents and businesses at least 30 days in advance of crews beginning work in a neighborhood. Yard signs, door hangers and neighborhood signs will further alert homeowners prior to construction activity starting. More information, including construction FAQs and videos, can be found at metronet.com/construction.

“We’re proud to partner with Castle Rock and Castle Pines, ensuring that these two communities are outfitted with 21st century digital infrastructure,” said Jill Cordes, Vice President of New Market Development at Metronet. “We are bullish on Colorado as a whole, and we’re excited to extend our state-of-the-art network to two new cities.”

Metronet already serves or is actively constructing fiber networks in nearly a dozen Colorado communities, including Colorado Springs, Aurora and Westminster, with plans to announce additional Colorado projects in the near future.
