New capacity in North Golden!

A new and high-speed "mini-pop" came on line for good last week and has it's first members on it! This is going to replace the Mountain Ridge mini-pop since it has a better view of north Golden, Mountain Ridge and parts of downtown Golden.

This mini-pop is on a members roof and is not attached to our equipment on Lookout Mountain. That provides us some additional redundancy should there be a catastrophic failure at the Lookout Mountain tower facility...

We are going to be moving a handful of existing members in north Golden off the Lookout tower and onto this new site (called "Cliff Line") to increase speeds and reduce load from Lookout.  In our initial testing, we are able to achieve download speeds in excess of 125 Mbps and upload speeds in excess of 40 Mbps from members houses that are attached to the new site. This is a big improvement from the 50 Mbps maximum we have from the Lookout Mountain site.
