The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 35% of the city, while its broader network covers about 96%. Quantum Fiber is the fastest where available, and if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 8,000/8,000 Mbps reaching about 20% of the city. Where Xfinity does not reach, CenturyLink is the broadest backup, mostly DSL, with an overall footprint of about 92% and common DSL speeds up to 140 Mbps reaching about 24% of the city.
Local results vary sharply: in ZIP 80010, Quantum Fiber leads with about 88% coverage, while Seven Hills, ZIP 80013, is nearly split between Xfinity at about 44% and Quantum Fiber at about 41%. ZIP 80014 favors Xfinity at about 49%, and Tallyn’s Reach, ZIP 80016, is also strongly Xfinity territory at about 41%; Murphy Creek and Aurora Highlands still deserve an address-level check. Students around Community College of Aurora and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus should watch for apartments with older DSL or copper infrastructure, especially when reliable Zoom, streaming, or gaming matters. Fixed wireless can be worth considering, including around Buckley Space Force Base, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Aurora
CenturyLink is a competitive choice in Aurora, with a 79/100 Speed Score that is above the city average of 65. Its Fiber Internet plan is a top-tier option, offering up to 940 Mbps download and upload for $75 per month, but it is available to only about 19% of the city. Address availability matters because many locations may instead receive the DSL plan, which offers up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload with a 30/100 Speed Score, so consider checking other providers first if fiber is not available at your address.

About CenturyLink
CenturyLink is a good choice where its fiber service reaches your address, but otherwise it may be only adequate for basic internet use. Its fiber plan offers up to 940 Mbps both ways for $75 per month and is available to about 19% of Aurora, while the DSL plan offers up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload for $55 per month and reaches about 48% of the city, so check your address for fiber or another faster option before settling for DSL.

About Kellin Communications
Kellin Communications reaches only a small share of Aurora, about 9% overall, so availability is limited. At eligible addresses, its main licensed fixed wireless plan offers up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, a good option for many households, but coverage is address-dependent and the fallback plan offers only up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, which may feel limiting for heavier modern use.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, offering up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on its Residential Max plan, which can handle streaming and many work-from-home needs, though satellite latency may make gaming and video calls less responsive. Before choosing it, check whether fiber or cable is available at your address, since those technologies are generally better for modern, latency-sensitive use, while Starlink is a useful broad-coverage fallback with plans from $55/mo to $130/mo.

Fusion is listed as available to 100.0% of Aurora, while the lower-priced Select plan costs $49.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $74.99/mo, and offers up to 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload with a 17/100 Speed Score.

About HughesNet
For $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 to 100 Mbps download speeds, but its satellite service provides below-average value for demanding modern uses, with the fastest Fusion plan rated 30/100. All three plans reach 100.0% of Aurora, making HughesNet broadly available, but check your address for faster fiber, cable, or other options first because satellite can have higher latency and the lower-tier plans may feel limited.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Aurora
Viasat is a limited-performance option compared with alternatives, with a headline Speed Score of 26/100 versus Aurora’s city average of 65. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with availability at 100% of Aurora, but satellite’s higher latency can affect activities such as video calls and online gaming. Availability is address-dependent, so check your specific address and consider what other providers and technologies are available before choosing.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat is mainly an adequate fallback, not a first choice, because its satellite plans offer below-average performance for modern internet needs. Viasat Essentials is the better value at up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month; both reach 100% of Aurora, but you should check for faster fiber or cable service at your address first.

How We Analyze Internet in Aurora
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Aurora report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Aurora
How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
