NextLight for Everyone

Connection is more important than ever to Longmont. We developed income-qualified packages that allow qualifying Longmont residents the chance to move at the speed of NextLight.

How To Appy

Affordable Internet Through City of Longmont CAREs

One application. Multiple programs. 

NextLight’s Income Assistance Program (IAP) is now part of the City of Longmont CAReS income-qualified application. 

We are no longer accepting IAP applications directly through NextLight. If you’re interested in discounted internet service through NextLight, you’ll now apply through the City’s centralized CAReS application. 

This new process makes it easier for residents to apply once and be considered for multiple income-qualified programs across the City. 

Step One
