2017 Upgrade. Newer, Faster Internet Speeds for Daybreak Residents.
Written By: Connor Anderson
Thanks to a new agreement between the Daybreak Community Association and CenturyLink, residents are receiving a major upgrade to their fiber‑to‑the‑home (FTTH) internet speeds — at no extra cost. This means newer, faster internet speeds for everyone.
What’s Changing
- Current speed: 40 Mbps download / 20 Mbps upload.
- New speed (2017): 500 Mbps download / 40 Mbps upload.
- Upgrade timeline: Begins January 2017, targeting completion by April 1, 2017.
- New move‑ins: New homeowners receive 500/40 Mbps service upon activation.
For reference, the FCC’s Broadband Speed Guide lists 25 Mbps as suitable for households with 3–4 users—so this boost provides ample capacity for streaming, work, and smart devices.
How We Got Here
Since 2005, Daybreak has been one of Utah’s pioneering communities with fiber‑optic infrastructure built directly into every home. The HOA’s partnership with CenturyLink delivers this service to all residents.
In 2015, speeds were increased to 40/20 Mbps at no extra cost. When CenturyLink announced a $1 monthly system‑wide fee increase, Daybreak renegotiated terms to deliver an even greater upgrade for residents while keeping the base HOA rate steady.

Speed Benefits — By the Numbers
The improved speeds make multitasking, remote work, and 4K streaming seamless. Here’s how performance compares at two CenturyLink tiers:
| Task | 100 Mbps | 40 Mbps |
|---|---|---|
| Download 10 songs | ≈ 3.8 seconds | ≈ 9.5 seconds |
| Download an HD movie | ≈ 6.4 minutes | ≈ 15.9 minutes |
Test your speed anytime with Ookla Speedtest or Netflix Fast.com.
