With flowers blooming and businesses opening up, everyone is looking forward to a great summer season. Even so, everyday life looks a little more, well – digital – these days. In this “new normal,” we’ve learned the value of staying connected remotely with friends, loved ones and colleagues. Now that we know we can effectively work from home – at least occasionally – and that Zoom dinners with far away friends are really fun, we are unlikely to give them up. Trailblazer Broadband is committed to connecting our community to the new normal with the convenience of reliable and affordable high-speed internet.
“A lot of people think of 1 GIG internet as all about download speed,” says Josh Cramer, Network Director for Trailblazer. “Download speed is definitely important, but it’s also about full 1 GIG upload speed, reliability, and lower latency so more people can use the internet simultaneously – to work, stream, learn, and video chat – without interruption.”
That bandwidth will also make a difference to Trailblazer customers this summer as residents and visitors return to the area, bringing increased demand for internet resources. And for those who would rather be climbing the mountains than surfing the internet, better broadband service will get them on their way faster as well.
Here’s to a healthy, enjoyable summer for all in our community, whatever the new normal brings!
We are continuing to roll out our fiber-optic one-gigabyte internet services to different areas of Estes Park. Two weeks ago, Wendy Koenig, Mayor of Estes Park, received Trailblazer Broadband services at her home. She has been a major part of this project since the start by advocating for options and ultimately bringing the dream of better internet in Estes Park to life with the creation of Trailblazer Broadband.
In her most recent article, she discusses how her installation process went. She says “Two weeks ago, the one-gigabyte Internet service that Trailblazer provides, arrives at Roger and my home. During the three hours James Webb and crew take to install the service, I can’t help but think about how, what presently is a town run broadband utility was set in motion during my time as trustee. The unique way the lines and dots of dreams connect to form boxes. How within the boxes, the needs of students, business and homeowners and tourist merge.”
With her installation finished, Wendy says “I know that now while video conferencing, there will be no notice of an unstable Internet connection. Nor will the video freeze on the computer screen. I possess the capacity for meeting the video demands that the pandemic is making on me, both as a mayor with obligations to fulfill and as a grandmother with grandkids I love in Lakewood and Slovakia. And, I am beyond thrilled about the way you, the townspeople of Estes Park stepped up to connect the dots so everyone wins.”
We are excited to continue bringing our services to the rest of Estes Park. Stay informed about when service will be available in your area here.
