I've signed up for Connexion service. What happens next?
After you’ve signed up for Connexion service and scheduled your installation date, locates will be done on your property to mark existing utility lines prior to Connexion crews digging. View our full installation process.
Why is fiber internet better?
Fiber is the next evolution of technology in broadband services. Compared to traditional copper coaxal infrastructure, it is more cost-effective, eco-friendly, provides virtually unlimited bandwidth and is more reliable, requiring less maintenance once it is installed.
What is gigabit internet?
“Gigabit internet” refers to an ultra-fast internet connection. Multi-gig internet (2 Gbps, 10 Gbps, etc.) is becoming more common as bandwidth needs grow. It provides faster upload and download speeds and better reliability.
What is the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical bandwidth?
Symmetric connections have the same upload speeds as download. This means that you can send a file to someone else just as fast as you could get it from them. Traditional internet connections are asymmetric and offer much slower upload speeds, which can slow usage of the modern internet to a crawl. Both cable and DSL networks are typically asymmetrical by design.
Will this affect my taxes or electric rates?
No. Only Connexion subscribers will be billed/pay for the service. Fort Collins Connexion network is funded by bonds which will be paid back using subscriber fees.
I live in the GMA (Growth Management Area), when will I be able to get service?
Under the current business plan broadband would extend throughout the current City limits and will extend into the GMA when those areas are annexed. Current capital spending estimates are for the City limits only. To check if your property is within City limits, visit https://www.larimer.gov/clerk/address-city
How do I get Connexion in my apartment?
If you live in a multi-dwelling unit (apartment, condo, townhouse, or certain HOAs), visit our MDU Resource Page to learn how to get Connexion at your residence.
Does Fort Collins Connexion have a data cap?
Fort Collins Connexion provides unlimited data, which gives you the freedom to stream, game, chat, and download without limitations.
Do you offer plans at a discounted rate?
Connexion does offer an income-qualified program! To learn more, visit: Programm zur digitalen Eingliederung.
Construction and Installation
Where will the fiber box on the outside of my home be located? Can I ask for a particular location?
The fiber box on the outside of your home will be on the same side or in the most direct path from the small vault near your property line. However, there may be factors that require a different path (structural limitations, landscaping, etc.) so the crews will assess the best path of installation during the pre-install.
Moving the fiber box to a different location is costly. Crews try to avoid running fiber under driveways and other barrier locations (Xeriscapes, elevated gardens, etc.) which can significantly delay installation. Unless it is structurally required, we do not move the fiber box to the opposite side of the home. The fiber will be pulled from the fiber box into your home and if needed, can be securely pulled through your crawlspace or attic.
My lawn was affected - what do I do?
We always aim to be minimally invasive during the installation process. If you’re not satisfied with the state of your landscaping post-installation, please reach out to our Customer Care team at 970-212-2900.
What is a private utility line?
A private line is any utility line on private property which is the responsibility of the property owner. Private lines should be marked by a privately-hired locating company. The City of Fort Collins does not maintain a list of private locating companies.
What should I expect from my installation?
For questions about our installation process, please Besuchen Sie unsere Installationsseite.
Can I schedule the pre-installation so I may be present?
Unfortunately, we are unable to make special scheduling accommodations. If requested during sign-up, the pre-install crew can contact you to let you know when they are headed to your home.
Where will the fiber be located? How deep is the fiber buried?
Fiber will be located in your front yard near the edge of your property line and will run from the street to your home. It will be buried 9 – 12 inches underground.
How does the in-home installation work?
For more information on the in-home installation process, please visit our installation page.

How do I perform a speed test on my device?
Visit our speed test page on our website to test your speed.
Can I use my existing computer with Connexion internet?
Yes, however, you should not expect to see gigabit speeds on old hardware. To learn more, visit: https://connexion.freshdesk.com/support/home
Can I use my existing router/modem?
This depends on what type of equipment you have. If your current equipment includes a cable modem (with a small round coaxial connector), it will not be compatible with our fiber broadband service. A new ONT, which replaces a cable modem, is provided free of charge with your Connexion service.
Router: If you have an ethernet router (Netgear, Linksys, Cisco, etc.), there is a good chance it will be compatible with Connexion broadband. Your router’s overall speed and Wi-Fi capabilities will vary, and old equipment may not be capable of taking full advantage of Connexion broadband’s high speed.
Telephone: If you sign up for Connexion voice service, any standard landline telephone should be compatible.
What type of modem does Connexion supply? Does it include a Wi-Fi router?
Connexion supplies an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) device which is your modem and router, managed by Connexion. It has Wi-Fi 6 capabilities.

How do I reset my password?
Customers can reset their own self-service portal password by clicking the “I forgot my password” link from the login page.
What is Wi-Fi 5G?
Connexion/Broadband Wi-Fi has a 5Ghz mode, but this is not the same as the “5G” installed and advertised by cellular phone companies. They are unrelated, and our service does not broadcast any “5G” signals.
What is Wi-Fi Technology? 5? 6? AC? AX?
Wi-Fi technology is always being updated and improved. All speeds and ranges listed below are approximate and require optimal Wi-Fi conditions to achieve.
| Wifi Technology | 802.11n | 802.11ac – wifi 5 | 802.11ax – wifi 6 |
| Release Year | 2009 | 2013 | 2021 |
| Maximum Speed | 288Mbps | 345Mbps + | 500Mbps + |
| Approx. indoor range | 200ft | 100ft | 100ft |
| BAND | 2.4Ghz | 5Ghz | 5Ghz |
The Connexion Wi-Fi service included with your Internet service provides the following functionality:
- Supports 3×3 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz wireless LAN (WLAN) interface
- Supports 4×4 802.11ac 5 GHz WLAN interface with multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO)
Billing
Why do we have two separate bills when I get utility services from the rest of Fort Collins Utilities?
Connexion requires different functionality to manage its specific products and services, which is why we have a separate billing system from the rest of Utilities. This also means that a separate bill is generated.
How do I access the billing system?
Visit fcconnexion.com/myaccount. If this is your first time accessing the portal, click on Register to sign up. Have your Connexion account number readily available.

What if I want paperless billing?
Signing up for paperless billing is fast, easy and convenient. Once you have registered your account, login and select Request Paperless Billing from the Your Account menu.

I need help accessing my account. Who do I call?
To contact our Customer Service team, call 970-212-2900.

Connexion TV Everywhere lets you access TV programs from network websites online using a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Do I have to register for TV Everywhere?
Connexion TV customers will need to register HERE for the service and some networks/channels may also ask you to register with their site and link your account to your TV provider’s account.
How is TV Everywhere different from something like Hulu or Netflix?
Connexion TV Everywhere is free with a residential Connexion TV package giving you access to more content from past seasons of your favorite series, live tv programming, movies and more!
How much does TV Everywhere cost?
How do I get the Connexion app on my TV?
If you don’t have a compatible smart TV, you can download the app with the Connexion TV set-top box or with a third-party device like an Amazon Fire Stick.
If you do not see the app, then you may be using an incompatible device. We are always looking to expand app compatibility to new devices. Please check our list of currently supported devices here.
