Underline has won Gold for Best High Speed Internet Service Provider in the 2026 Best in Business Awards, presented by SoCo Digest and the Colorado Media Group. The award, decided by community vote, recognizes Underline as the region's top connectivity provider.
Since 2021, Underline has built a fiber-to-the-community network across El Paso County—now capable of serving half of all residential and commercial properties in Colorado Springs, at no cost to the City or its taxpayers. The network is designed to serve every part of the community: residents, small businesses, nonprofits, school districts, and enterprise clients including the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC, Better Business Bureau, Space ISAC, UCCS, and Catalyst Campus.
"This one means a lot, because it comes directly from the community we built this network for," said Bob Thompson, Founder & CEO, Underline. "We set out to prove that a private company can build critical infrastructure with an ethos of true community partnership—showing up, delivering, and earning trust one connection at a time. Being recognized by the people and businesses we serve tells us that's working."
