Find internet providers in Denver, CO
Find internet offered in Denver, CO – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Denver, CO, your best bet is Quantum Fiber, covering ~70% of the city with speeds up to 8,000 Mbps. However, if Quantum Fiber’s 8,000 Mbps filing is available at your address, it is the speed play, but not across the full footprint. Quantum’s fiber reaches up to 2000/1000 Mbps across 54% of the city; Xfinity is the broad alternative, reaching 98.4% overall, with cable speeds up to 2000/300 Mbps reaching 78%. At Metropolitan State University of Denver, Quantum leads 80204 at 62.3%, including up to 8,000 Mbps in 5.3% of the ZIP, while University of Denver’s 80210 has 89.0% Quantum coverage. Capitol Hill (80203) has 60.2% Quantum coverage, and Cherry Creek (80206) has 73.3%, while Xfinity leads 80202 at 52.4% and 80201 at 60.9%. Students at University of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and University of Colorado Denver should check apartment options, since older buildings may rely on DSL or copper, and reliable Zoom, streaming, and gaming connections matter. Washington Park and Highland deserve a street-level check too, and budget-minded shoppers can consider fixed wireless from T-Mobile, Verizon, LiveWireNet, or AT&T, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address.

Our recommendation for Denver
Xfinity’s 1 Gig plan reaches 98.1% of Denver, giving most households a strong chance of finding it at their address. Where fiber is available, up to 1000 Mbps download and up to 35 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 87/100 make it a top-tier option, while cable remains a solid option for most uses. Because the plan is listed as Fiber/Cable, check which technology serves your address, and note that Xfinity’s headline Speed Score of 86/100 is above the city average of 69.
About Xfinity

Households seeking good everyday performance from 5G home internet will find T-Mobile competitive in Denver: All-In offers up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload with a 78/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 69, while Rely offers up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload with a 77/100 score. Because both plans use fixed wireless, performance and availability can vary by address, and both are available to 62.2% of Denver, so check your address and compare other technologies if you need the most consistent latency.
About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is a good fit for households that want solid everyday speeds and simple wireless service, especially where wired options are limited.

Satellite internet can support basic browsing and streaming, but its higher latency may be noticeable for video calls, gaming, and other real-time use. Starlink offers up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, or 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, with each plan scoring 67/100, about the same as Denver’s city average of 69. The listed plans show 100.0% availability in Denver, but confirm your address and check what other technologies are available before choosing, since satellite has limited performance compared with alternatives.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad availability, with these plans listed at 100.0% of Denver, but its higher latency can be limiting for gaming, video calls, and other real-time uses. The choices are up to 400 Mbps for $130/mo, up to 200 Mbps for $85/mo, or up to 100 Mbps for $55/mo, all with a 67/100 Speed Score, so it is worth checking for fiber or cable at your address first if you need consistently strong performance for a modern household.

At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $119.99, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 29/100 Speed Score is below Denver’s city average of 69. Satellite service has higher latency and more limited real-world performance than wired technologies, making it better suited to basic connectivity than latency-sensitive gaming or demanding work. Fusion is available to 100.0% of Denver, but check which other technologies reach your specific address before choosing a plan.
About HughesNet
HughesNet starts at $39.99/mo for the first 12 months for Lite with up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, while Select costs $49.99/mo for up to 50 Mbps and Fusion costs $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps, so the value is limited for busy households because these are satellite plans with higher latency. All three plans are available to 100.0% of Denver, but check your address for faster fiber or cable service first, especially if you stream, game, work from home, or have several users.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
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.
