Frequently asked questions

Common questions about business fiber internet in Salt Lake City.

Approximately 90% of Salt Lake City has fiber from at least one provider. Downtown has the highest density with 3-5 providers per building. Check your exact address for confirmed availability.

SLC is served by Google Fiber, UTOPIA Fiber, Quantum Fiber, Comcast Business, Zayo, and Lumen. Available providers depend on your building's location.

UTOPIA is a municipal open-access fiber network. It builds the infrastructure while multiple retail ISPs deliver service — giving businesses ISP choice on the same fiber line.

On-net buildings typically take 2-4 weeks. Near-net installations can take 60-120 days depending on distance and permitting.

On-net means fiber is already in your building — faster install and more options. Near-net means fiber is nearby but needs to be extended, which takes additional time.
