Find internet providers in Aurora, IL
Find internet offered in Aurora, IL – 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 Aurora, IL, your best bet is AT&T, which covers ~89% of the city; its top tier reaches up to 5,000 Mbps. That fiber tier reaches ~22% of the city, while Xfinity is a close rival at 92.0%, with cable speeds up to 2,000/300 Mbps reaching ~86%. In 60503, Xfinity leads with 81.0%, while 60507 has AT&T at 58.3% and Metronet Holdings at 14.6%, both listed on fiber. Oakhurst in 60504 is mostly Xfinity at 76.7%, with AT&T fiber at 22.6%; Orchard Valley in 60506 is mixed, with Xfinity at 47.1% and Metronet fiber at 29.5%. ZIP 60505 is split among Xfinity at 50.0%, AT&T fiber at 35.7%, and Metronet fiber at 13.1%, so older copper addresses deserve extra scrutiny. Students at Aurora University and Waubonsee Community College should check apartment options, since buildings can differ from nearby homes and reliable connections matter for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Stonebridge and Blackberry Creek also deserve an exact-address check because coverage can shift street to street; budget-minded shoppers can consider fixed wireless from Verizon, T-Mobile, or W A T C H TV.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Aurora
At $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo, AT&T Fiber 1 GIG offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload with a 93/100 Speed Score, making it a top-tier option for streaming, gaming, work, and multiple users. That score is above Aurora’s city average of 74, while AT&T Fiber 5 GIG reaches up to 5000 Mbps both ways and scores 99/100 for households that need more capacity. Because AT&T also offers 300/300 Mbps Internet Air with a 79/100 score, the fiber experience is address-dependent, and the Fiber 1 GIG plan is shown as available to 26.6% of Aurora, so check your address before assuming the stronger fiber option reaches you.

Our recommendation for Aurora
Satellite internet reaches 100.0% of Aurora, but its higher latency can make gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities feel less responsive than wired connections. Starlink offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload on its Max plan, with 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload and 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload options also available, all with a Speed Score of 73/100, about the same as the city average of 74. It is a practical option where wired service is unavailable, but check which technologies reach your specific address before choosing satellite.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad 100.0% coverage across Aurora and offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, which can support streaming, browsing, and many connected devices, though satellite latency may be frustrating for gaming and some video calls. Since satellite is the only technology listed here, check your address for fiber or cable first if you need the most responsive service, but Starlink’s $55/mo up to 100 Mbps, $85/mo up to 200 Mbps, and $130/mo up to 400 Mbps plans are solid alternatives where faster wired options are unavailable.

Fixed wireless is a practical choice for streaming, video calls, and everyday work, with up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on the fastest plans. The two 400/40 Mbps offerings score 80/100 and 79/100, and the top score is above Aurora’s average top speed score of 74, although fixed wireless can be more affected by signal and congestion than wired connections. Exact plan availability depends on your address, and the Licensed Fixed Wireless 400/40 Mbps plan covers 8.8% of Aurora, while the 100/20 Mbps plan scores 50/100 and offers more limited performance compared with faster alternatives.
About W A T C H TV
Fixed wireless is an adequate option for everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, though performance can vary by address. W A T C H TV offers good speeds of up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on its Lbr plan, listed across 33.1% of census blocks, while some locations may only have up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, which could feel limiting for busy households or demanding uploads, so check your address carefully.

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, but its 32/100 Speed Score is below Aurora’s city average of 74. Because this is satellite service, higher latency can limit performance, while the Select and Lite plans offer only up to 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, or up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, with 14/100 Speed Scores. HughesNet reaches 100.0% of Aurora, but shoppers should check which other technologies reach their address before choosing it for demanding uses.
About HughesNet
HughesNet’s Lite plan costs $39.99/mo for the first 12 months and offers up to 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up, while Select costs $49.99/mo for up to 50 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, and Fusion costs $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, with prices rising to $49.99/mo, $74.99/mo, and $119.99/mo after the first 12 months. All three satellite plans show 100.0% availability in Aurora, but satellite service has higher latency and limited performance, so HughesNet is best treated as a fallback, and you should check your address for fiber or cable first if you need reliable video calls, gaming, or several users online.

Both plans are available to 100.0% of Aurora, but satellite’s higher latency and lower scores may be a poor fit for demanding gaming, video calls, or heavy simultaneous use.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is mainly a fallback option rather than a top choice for modern internet needs, with satellite plans offering below-average Speed Scores of 14/100 and up to 55 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up for $69.99/mo, or up to 34 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up for $99.99/mo. Although both plans reach 100.0% of Aurora, satellite service can bring high latency and limited performance for video calls, gaming, and multiple simultaneous streams, so check whether a faster cable or fiber option is available 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
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 Aurora 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.

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.
