Ting Fiber Is Leaving Colorado Springs: What the Switch to gFiber Means for Your Service

If you have Ting Fiber in Colorado Springs, your service keeps running for now, but you'll need to choose a new provider in 2027. On October 21, 2026, Ting's parent Tucows agreed to transfer its lease on the Colorado Springs Utilities fiber network to Google Fiber Colorado (gFiber). Neighborhoods start switching to gFiber in early 2027, and the deal is expected to close March 31, 2027. The switch isn't automatic: you have to sign up with gFiber or another provider before your neighborhood changes over.

What Ting customers need to do

• Sign up for gFiber email updates for your address to get priority installation and your transition date.
• Pick a new plan with gFiber or another provider and schedule installation.
• Don't cancel Ting until your new service works; Ting says it can't restart canceled service in Colorado Springs.
• Return your Ting ONT and any eero devices within 14 days using the prepaid label. If you switch to gFiber, the installer removes the Ting ONT.
• Expect a few hours offline on install day if you move to gFiber.

What gFiber offers

gFiber lists its standard plans as 1 Gig for $70, 3 Gig for $100 and 8 Gig for $150 a month, with equipment, installation and unlimited data included and no contract. It hasn't published Colorado Springs pricing yet, and it has been upgrading speeds in some cities, so check gfiber.com for your address. Our best Google Fiber plan guide helps you choose a tier.

Other options in Colorado Springs

You aren't required to move to gFiber. Depending on your address, you may also be able to get Metronet fiber, Xfinity cable or Quantum Fiber. On the edges of town, Starlink, Viasat and Hughesnet serve rural addresses; Viasat advertises plans with speeds up to 80 Mbps; verify the actual offer and terms for your address. See every provider on our Colorado Springs internet page.

Stay, switch now, or wait?

If you're happy with Ting, you can keep it until your neighborhood transitions and then move to gFiber. If you want to lock in a different provider's promotion, you can switch any time, just set up the new service before canceling Ting.
