Find internet providers in Peoria, IL
Find internet offered in Peoria, 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 Peoria, IL, your best bet is Xfinity, covering ~79% of the city. Its great cable tier reaches ~69% of the city and offers speeds up to 2,000 Mbps, while its good cable tier reaches ~11%, so that top speed is not universal. Fiber is the compelling local alternative where it exists, with i3 Broadband reaching 52% of the city at speeds up to 1000/1000 Mbps. West Bluff is especially Xfinity-heavy, with its up to 2,000 Mbps tier at 95.8%, while East Bluff shows the same pattern at 89.3%. ZIP 61601 is more mixed, with Xfinity’s top cable tier at 64.2% and i3 fiber at 26.4%, while the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria area in 61605 has 67.4% on Xfinity’s top tier and 20.2% on its up to 1,200 Mbps tier. Around Bradley University and Methodist College, students should check apartment-specific service carefully, since buildings can offer different choices and some addresses may still be stuck on old DSL or copper lines. Fixed wireless is another practical option, including Verizon reaching 59% of the city at speeds up to 300/20 Mbps and T-Mobile reaching 30% at up to 100/20 Mbps. Coverage can change street to street, so confirm the exact address and available tier before signing up.

All-In Home Internet offers up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 80/100, while Rely Home Internet offers up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload with a 79/100 score, making T-Mobile competitive above Peoria’s city average of 70.

About T-Mobile
Households that want good everyday performance for streaming, video calls, and multiple users may find T-Mobile appealing, with 5G fixed wireless plans offering up to 498 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up for $70/mo promotional, then $80/mo, or up to 354 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up for $50/mo promotional, then $60/mo.

Satellite internet offers broad reach and up to 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload for everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency can affect video calls, gaming, and other real-time use. Starlink’s Residential 200 Mbps plan is available to 100.0% of Peoria and has a 73/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 70, making it competitive while still offering more limited performance than lower-latency technologies. Check the options available at your specific address before choosing, especially if you need the strongest real-time performance.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach and useful speeds for streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing, though its higher latency can be noticeable for gaming and other real-time activities. Its Peoria plans offer up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, with 100.0% availability, plus options of up to 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload for $85/mo or up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload for $55/mo; check for fiber or cable at your address first, since those technologies are generally more responsive when available.

About Tel-Star Cablevision

Frontier’s fastest listed plan offers up to 115 Mbps download and 7 Mbps upload, enough for everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls in a small household.

About Frontier
Frontier’s fastest option here is up to 115 Mbps download and 7 Mbps upload over copper, which should handle basic browsing, some video calls, and streaming for a small household, though it is below average overall. Because that plan reaches only 0.8% of Peoria census blocks and the other listed choices are slower copper connections, check your address for faster options first, since the fallback speeds may not be enough for a busy 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 Speed Score is only 32/100.

About HughesNet
HughesNet’s satellite service costs $39.99/mo for the first 12 months for up to 25 Mbps, $49.99/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps, with rates rising to $49.99/mo, $74.99/mo, and $119.99/mo afterward, respectively. Those prices come with below-average speed scores of 14/100, 14/100, and 32/100, so HughesNet is best treated as a basic fallback, especially since satellite can be limiting for video calls, gaming, and other modern needs.

How We Analyze Internet in Peoria
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 Peoria 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.
