(Madison Clark\/Courtesy photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Clearnetworx, a fast-growing fiber-to-the-home subsidiary of Vero Fiber, has expanded its footprint in the Four Corners region by acquiring Ting\u2019s fiber infrastructure in Montezuma County, La Plata County and San Juan County, New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to welcome all new customers into our ecosystem of local support and community-focused service. A handful of local businesses in Montezuma County were part of this acquisition and have already been successfully transitioned to our network, billing and support systems,\u201d Clearnetworx Vice President of Business Development Casey Irving told <em id=\"emphasis-6121b473d30a6ec092e5579bd464b00d\">The Journal <\/em>via email.<\/p>\n<p>Clearnetworx was established in Montrose in 2012 and began expanding into the Four Corners region in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were a natural fit for Cortez\u2019s broadband goals, which led the city to lease its fiber operations to us in 2023,\u201d Irving said. \u201cSince then, we\u2019ve been expanding our fiber-to-the-home network and are excited to continue investing in the community and broader region with the acquisition of this portion of the Ting network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a news release, the acquisition gives Clearnetworx control of key network assets, improving deployment efficiency and reducing construction overlap. The company says this will help expand its reach while maintaining high-quality service for underserved and rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis acquisition significantly decreases our deployment timeline in the region,\u201d Doug Seacat, president of Clearnetworx, said in the news release. \u201cIt allows us to streamline construction, minimize disruption for the community and reach more customers faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearnetworx now serves more than 13,000 active fiber customers across Western Colorado and northern New Mexico, with a growing presence in Durango, Bayfield, Cortez and Farmington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this move, we\u2019re the leading fiber internet company making substantial infrastructure investments in this region,\u201d Irving said in the news release. \u201cWe\u2019re not just expanding \u2013 we\u2019re investing long term. This is a key market for us, and we\u2019re here to build, grow and serve our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ownership transferred July 1, with customer transitions beginning Oct. 1. Clearnetworx said it will maintain all active fiber infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntegrating two networks always comes with challenges, but we\u2019ve done this before \u2013 and customers can trust they\u2019ll be taken care of every step of the way,\u201d Irving told <em id=\"emphasis-363f477db5b3fb233f78ebeece235915\">The Journal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"ww.clearnetworx.com\/tingresources\" id=\"link-56348f47a7d52ac2ee9ab8f17d8286b4\" target=\"_blank\">visit<\/a> www.clearnetworx.com\/tingresources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clearnetworx expands in Four Corners with acquisition of Ting fiber network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[431,364,28,60,29],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-16161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business-general","tag-community","tag-headlines","tag-montezuma-county","tag-newsletter"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16161"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20050,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16161\/revisions\/20050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16161"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=16161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
