1. What is the relationship between Ting Internet and the City?

The City of Westminster owns the fiber that has been planted, and Ting Internet is leasing the fiber in order to provide Internet service to the residents and business owners within the Westminster city limits.

2. When will I have fiber in my area?

Check out the map on the Westminster Fiber Network page for more info: http://arcg.is/1PjgZY6

3. How do I sign up?

In order to sign up for services available on the Westminster Fiber Network, you must first complete an Access Agreement. This Access Agreement gives the City permission to bring a fiber drop to your property, but does not obligate you to purchase any services. Completed Access Agreements should be emailed to the Access Agreement Manager or submitted online at www.accessagreement.com. Once you've submitted an Access Agreement and a fiber drop has been run to your property, you are now able to sign up for services. To order (or pre-order) service from Ting, please visit www.ting.com/westminster.

5. What is the Westminster Fiber Drop Access Agreement?

This agreement allows the City and its contractors to bring the fiber cable from the street across your property and to the outside of the home.

6. How much does it cost to get a fiber drop on my property?

Nothing. There is no cost to the homeowner to have fiber brought from the street up to the side of the home.

7. Will my yard be torn up?

Fiber is run with great care and is installed underground or from the utility poles. Either method will have minimal impact on your property. Think scalpel as opposed to shovel.

8. Should I get a fiber drop even if I'm not using or getting Internet?

Yes. The time to get a fiber drop is now. There is no obligation to accept service with a fiber drop but the fiber drop will be there should you (or anyone in your home) decide to do so later.

9. What is the installation cost for Ting Internet?

Standard installation is free for a family home in Westminster.  Ting Internet will install the equipment on or near the interior wall where the fiber enters your home.  If you have very specific requirements for where you want your Ting Internet equipment installed, custom installation is offered for $199.

10. How is Ting Internet better than what I have now?

Well, it is definitely a lot faster. It’s more reliable because it’s brand new infrastructure with more than enough capacity. You’ll get better, much more helpful and human support if any issues arise or questions arise. Ting Internet customers have access to live, no-hold customer support from Ting’s smart, helpful, and decidedly human help agents: 443-201-7207 or at help@ting.com
