BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vero Fiber, the Colorado-based fiber-optic internet service provider, is expanding their 100% fiber network to the City of Brush, Colorado. The expansion will be the city's first complete fiber to the premise deployment, servicing clients with Gigabit level speeds. The City of Brush will be the base of expansion in northeastern Colorado for Vero's fiber deployment, with additional, future markets in the design process.

"As a Colorado-based company, we are excited to bring this critical service to the residents of Brush," said Sunita Krishna, CEO of Vero Fiber. "A fully fiber-based network is the modern utility, and we are proud to be the company able to bring this ultra-fast service to the community."

Vero's deployment of its 100% fiber-optic network will allow residents to have symmetrical bandwidth (upload and download) at Gigabit level speeds to their homes. Vero's fiber network is optimized to provide faster speeds, better connectivity, and the bandwidth to connect more devices for streaming, gaming, working from home and more, all at the same time.

Scott Trautwein, the Director of Technology for the Brush School, further endorsed the project, saying, "We welcome Vero to the community and look forward to the services they will be providing. It is critical for our students to have reliable connectivity in their homes as well as at school."

Vero focuses on being an active member of the areas it serves and offers simple service packages, that are clearly priced with no hidden fees or surcharges. Every service will include the essential equipment for connectivity and Wi-Fi, as well as a state-of-the-art app to manage the residents' network. Vero is also committed to supporting all members of the community and is a participant in the FCC Affordable Connectivity Program, which helps subsidize monthly service fees for low-income households.

"Every market we enter, the citizens and businesses are so excited to have access to a fiber-based internet solution, and we are thrilled to bring this solution to another Colorado community," added Krishna. The new service will be available for customers in early 2024.
