The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 86% of the city, while its overall footprint across technologies is about 92%. If Metronet Holdings reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,120/5,120 Mbps reaching about 29% of the city. AT&T is the safe fallback where Xfinity does not reach, mostly DSL, with an overall footprint of about 89% and common DSL speeds up to 100 Mbps reaching about 24% of the city.
In ZIP 60503, Xfinity leads at about 81%, while Metronet Holdings reaches about 8% and AT&T about 9%. Oakhurst in 60504 is strongly Xfinity territory at about 77%, with AT&T at about 23%, while Stonebridge in 60502 has Xfinity at about 66% and a more meaningful Metronet fiber presence at about 16%. ZIP 60507 is the local exception, where AT&T leads at about 58%, ahead of Xfinity at about 27% and Metronet Holdings at about 15%. Around Aurora University and Waubonsee Community College Downtown Aurora Campus, student apartments can differ from nearby homes, so check for old DSL or copper infrastructure before choosing. Fixed wireless from Verizon, T-Mobile, or W A T C H TV is worth checking, especially in Blackberry Creek, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address.

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.

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.
