Find internet providers in Longmont, CO
Find internet offered in Longmont, 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 Longmont, CO, your best bet is CenturyLink, covering ~87% of the city with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. That headline is a provider footprint, not a guarantee of the fastest tier: CenturyLink’s 1,000/1,000 Mbps fiber reaches ~1% of the city, while its up to 140/20 Mbps copper tier reaches ~19%. Local availability can look very different, with NextLight covering 83.7% of ZIP 80501 in Old Town Longmont and 58.9% of ZIP 80503 in Prospect New Town, both at up to 1000/1000 Mbps. ZIP 80502 is even more fiber-heavy, with NextLight at 90.7%, while Fox Hill in ZIP 80504 is more mixed, led by NextLight at 39.2% and Xfinity at 23.0% with up to 2000/300 Mbps cable. Students near Front Range Community College Boulder County Campus should check the apartment building itself, since some units may still rely on older DSL or copper infrastructure for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Quail Crossing deserves the same street-level caution. Verizon’s fixed wireless reaches 62% of the city at up to 300/20 Mbps, while T-Mobile reaches 17% at up to 100/20 Mbps and 25% at up to 25/3 Mbps. Coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address, technology, and filed speed before signing up.

At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, with a Speed Score of 29/100 and availability to 100.0% of Longmont. Satellite service offers limited performance compared with alternatives, and this score is below the city average of 74, so shoppers should check what other technologies are available at their address before choosing HughesNet.
About HughesNet
HughesNet’s first 12-month prices are $39.99/mo for up to 25 Mbps, $49.99/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps, but the satellite plans have low speed scores of 3/100, 14/100, and 29/100, respectively, making the value limited for busy households and demanding online use. It covers 100.0% of Longmont, but satellite’s latency and modest performance mean you should check your address for faster fiber or cable options first, using HughesNet mainly as a fallback if those are unavailable.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Longmont
Viasat is a limited-performance option in Longmont, so checking other providers at your address first is sensible.

Speed Score
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Longmont report service availability from each provider.

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.
