ROF chooses Pathfinder Broadband to provide high speed Internet



Pathfinder Broadband, headquartered in Glenwood Springs, will become the sole high speed Internet provider to all of the current ROF customer base, effective March 1.

Pathfinder is the creation of Roaring Fork Valley locals who were tired of poor Internet options and poor service from existing providers. Pathfinder offers fixed wireless and fiber in the valley with speeds up to 1Gbps. The transition of ROF’s customers to Pathfinder’s service furthers Pathfinder’s commitment to closing the digital divide, minimizing isolation due to lack of reliable Internet service in unserved and underserved areas, according to a release. Pathfinder currently offers service from Avon to Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Pathfinder is actively investing in capital improvements to increase speed and bring fiber optic Internet services to businesses and residences. These improvements continually provide increased bandwidth for a faster streaming, better speed and solid reliability, according to the release.
