Clearnetworx

What Clearnetworx does

Clearnetworx, LLC is a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet service provider headquartered in Montrose, Colorado, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vero Fiber Networks. Founded in 2012 by Doug Seacat — who also founded sister construction firm Deeply Digital in 2002/2003 — the company delivers gigabit fiber internet to residential, business, and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) customers across 22 communities in Western Colorado and northern New Mexico. As of June 2026, Clearnetworx serves more than 20,000 active fiber subscribers across 1,200 route miles of fiber infrastructure, supported by a 270+ person, 100% locally-staffed workforce. The company also owns FastTrack Communications as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

The core technology is XGS-PON fiber capable of symmetrical speeds up to 10 Gbps, with fixed wireless service provided in areas where fiber buildout is incomplete. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions: residential fiber tiers starting at $49.95–$60/month depending on market, business fiber packages, fixed wireless plans at $60–$100/month, residential VoIP at $30/month, and tiered business VoIP at $20–$30/extension. Differentiated offerings include an included Wi-Fi 6 (X1) router with optional mesh expansion, the Clearnetworx Connect mobile app for network management, and four MDU partnership models (Bulk Fiber, Fiber Connected, Exclusive Trench, Trench Access). Clearnetworx positions itself on no data caps, no contracts, no rate hikes, and local support, with a Community CARE Discount of $20/month for low-income households and the Connecting Colorado Students program.

Growth has been funded by a combination of over $3.6M in grant capital (DOLA, USAC, Colorado Broadband Fund), municipal public-private partnerships across Grand Junction, Durango, Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Delta, Fruita, Palisade, Cortez, and Mountain Village, and two acquisitions: Mountain Village Broadband (June 2023) and Ting's Western Slope fiber infrastructure (September 2025). Go-to-market combines an online self-service portal (getstarted.clearnetworx.com), door-to-door field sales during active construction phases, community events and mailers, dedicated MDU sales contacts, and phone-based enterprise support.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves12 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Lumen Technologies (CenturyLink): Major incumbent carrier with fiber and DSL service across the Western U.S. Overlaps with Clearnetworx in Colorado and competes for the same enterprise and residential broadband customers.
• Vero Fiber Networks: Parent holding company of Clearnetworx, operating and acquiring fiber networks across multiple states. Comparable business model at the corporate level though broader geographic scope.
• Consolidated Communications: Larger incumbent wireline carrier offering fiber broadband across many U.S. markets. Competes in adjacent rural geographies and is increasingly pivoting toward fiber over copper.

Direct peers

• Zito Media: Regional cable and fiber broadband provider serving rural communities in Colorado and neighboring states. Overlaps with Clearnetworx in markets where both deliver fixed broadband to underserved areas.
• Ting Internet: Ting Internet is a direct competitor in the Western Slope fiber market that Clearnetworx acquired in September 2025. Both deliver FTTH to residential and business customers in smaller markets with a community-focused brand.
• Great Plains Communications: Fiber-to-the-home and business broadband operator across rural Midwest markets. Comparable focus on delivering gigabit fiber to underserved communities with similar grant-funded rural expansion strategy.
• Range Telephone Cooperative: Member-owned fiber and fixed wireless provider in rural Wyoming/Montana/Colorado with FTTH, voice, and managed Wi-Fi. Direct analog to Clearnetworx's rural Western Slope operating model.
• RTC Communications: Cooperative-style rural fiber broadband provider offering FTTH and business services in low-density markets. Comparable target customer base and rural build economics to Clearnetworx.

Emerging players

• Starlink (SpaceX): Low-earth-orbit satellite broadband service targeting rural and underserved households. Direct competitive threat to Clearnetworx's rural fixed wireless tier and fixed-line fiber opportunity in low-density areas.

Others

• Deeply Digital: Sister company founded by Clearnetworx's owner Doug Seacat; handles fiber construction and middle-mile infrastructure work for Clearnetworx and other regional projects. Adjacent ecosystem enabler.
