The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 40% of the city, while its overall footprint reaches about 86%. If Quantum Fiber reaches your address, it is the faster choice, offering fiber speeds up to 8,000/8,000 Mbps, but that tier reaches only about 11% of the city. Where Xfinity does not reach, CenturyLink is the broadest backup, mostly DSL across about 92% of the city, with its fastest common DSL tier reaching up to 140 Mbps in about 14%.
Local results vary sharply: Downtown Colorado Springs favors Quantum Fiber, while Broadmoor leans heavily toward Xfinity, and Old Colorado City is another strong Quantum Fiber pocket. Around the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Xfinity leads, but Quantum Fiber and Metronet Holdings also make fiber meaningful there; Pikes Peak State College has especially strong Quantum Fiber coverage. ZIP 80902 is more cable-dependent, with Xfinity serving most of the listed area, so check carefully for older infrastructure, especially around student apartments and Colorado College. Fixed wireless from providers such as Verizon, Kellin Communications, or T-Mobile may be worth checking for budget-minded households, including near Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. Coverage changes street by street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Colorado Springs
CenturyLink is a competitive choice in Colorado Springs, with a 79/100 Speed Score that is above the city average of 72. Its fiber plan is the stronger option, offering up to 940 Mbps both ways for $75 per month and a 79/100 score, but it is available to about 19% of the city. At addresses limited to the 100 Mbps DSL plan, performance is more limited, with up to 100 Mbps download, 10 Mbps upload, and a 30/100 score, so checking other available options is worthwhile.
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 CenturyLink
CenturyLink is a good option for some Colorado Springs addresses, especially where its fiber plan is available. Fiber offers excellent, symmetrical speeds up to 940 Mbps for $75 per month, but it reaches only about 19% of the city, while the DSL fallback offers up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload for $55 per month and may be inadequate for busy households, so check your address for fiber or another faster option first.

Rise Broadband’s Lbr Fixed Wireless plan reaches just 1.1% of Colorado Springs, so availability at your address is limited. At up to 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 6/100, it offers limited performance compared with alternatives, so consider checking other providers first if higher speeds or more consistent performance are important.

About Rise Broadband
Rise Broadband reaches about 1% of Colorado Springs, so most shoppers have a low chance of getting service from this provider. Its available fixed wireless plan offers up to 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, which is below average and may feel limited for modern households, so check for faster cable or fiber options at your address first.

Satellite service is available to 100.0% of Colorado Springs and supports everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, though its higher latency can feel less responsive than wired connections. Starlink’s Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 78/100, above the city average of 72, making it a competitive satellite option, while checking other available technologies at your address is still worthwhile for lower-latency performance.

About Starlink
Satellite internet makes Starlink broadly available, and its Residential Max 400 Mbps plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, which is suitable for streaming, work, and many connected devices, though satellite latency can affect fast-paced gaming and some video calls. The plan is available to 100.0% of Colorado Springs, but check for fiber or cable at your address first if low latency and consistently strong performance matter most, since Starlink’s lower-speed options may be less comfortable for demanding modern use.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Colorado Springs
Viasat is a limited-performance choice compared with alternatives in Colorado Springs, with a headline Speed Score of 26/100 versus the city average of 72. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan is available to 100% of the city and offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, but satellite service can have higher latency and may not suit demanding activities as well as other technologies. Viasat Unleashed is also available to 100% of the city, but its lower Speed Score of 14/100 and speeds of up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload make it worth checking what else reaches your address.

About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is a fallback option rather than a top choice for most households, since its satellite plans offer below-average speeds and may have higher latency. Viasat Essentials is the better pick, with up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month and availability to 100% of Colorado Springs, while Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month. Check your address for faster fiber or cable service first, especially if you work from home, stream heavily, or have several connected devices.

“Store was slammed when I got here on a Friday slightly after 12, but the employees worked really efficient and the line went quickly. Everyone was super knowledgeable and friendly. Tyler helped me out a lot getting my WiFi swapped over and I appreciate that. Thank you!”
“DO NOT GET AN XFINITY PLAN HERE. they wait until you have been on for awhile and then crank up the price when they think you're not paying attention. My bill just went up 35% overnight without any warning. This company is pure sleaze.”

How We Analyze Internet in Colorado Springs
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 Colorado Springs report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Colorado Springs
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.
Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.
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.
