Fiber Internet for Renters in Fort Collins: How to Get Fiber in Your Apartment

You stream everything. You work from home. You rely on smart devices to keep life moving. But when it comes to your apartment’s internet options, you often get one choice, and it’s rarely fiber.

If you rent in Fort Collins, you don’t have to settle for slow uploads, spotty service, or confusing pricing. City-owned Fort Collins Connexion delivers fiber internet for renters in many local apartment complexes, condos, and townhomes, with no contracts, no data caps, and reliable local support.

Why Renters Struggle to Get Fiber Internet

Fast, reliable internet isn’t just about what’s available in your neighborhood; it’s about how your apartment or condo building is wired and who controls access to that wiring. Many renters are surprised to learn that their building’s management or ownership often decides which internet service providers (ISPs) are allowed inside, not the tenants themselves.

Across Fort Collins, numerous multi-unit properties still operate under exclusive or “preferred provider” agreements signed years ago with large national ISPs. These deals can give one company near-total control over the building’s internal wiring, limiting residents’ ability to choose faster, more affordable fiber options like Fort Collins Connexion, even when fiber already runs right outside the property.

Common reasons renters can’t get fiber include:

• The building’s internal wiring (copper or coaxial) wasn’t upgraded to support fiber connections.
• The property’s ISP contracts restrict or delay access for new providers.
• Property managers or HOA boards aren’t aware that Connexion now serves their neighborhood.
• Renters assume that switching to fiber would require major construction or disruptions.

In reality, getting connected is often easier than people think. Connexion’s local team works directly with property managers, HOAs, and building owners to evaluate construction options, handle permissions, and provide connections that minimize impact to residents and property infrastructure. For apartment buildings, installations typically take two to three months and require close coordination between Connexion and the management team. The process includes signing the ROE, planning the fiber infrastructure, boring underground, laying the fiber, installing the flowerpots, and finally bringing service up to the complex.

If you rent in Fort Collins and want true local fiber, talk to your property manager and point them to Connexion’s resources for multi-dwelling units. With community-owned fiber, every tenant can enjoy high-speed service that’s reliable, affordable, and built for Fort Collins, by Fort Collins.

Once the installation is complete. Switching is a breeze.

How Fort Collins Connexion Makes Fiber Possible for Renters

Fort Collins Connexion is different because it’s owned by the City of Fort Collins. That means its priority is reliable access for residents, not long-term contracts or profit margins.

Connexion’s team works directly with apartment managers and HOAs to bring fiber into multi-dwelling units (MDUs). Once the fiber line reaches the building, each unit gets its own secure connection. No shared bandwidth with neighbors.

Because Connexion handles coordination locally, the installation process is straightforward and managed by a Fort Collins-based team.
