The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedRoles count plans reaching at least 5% of Burnsville. Faster only in small pockets: Quantum Fiber Fiber 8G up to 8,000 Mbps (~4% of the city).
Xfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,200 Mbps reaching about 72% of Burnsville, and its overall footprint reaching about 76% of the city. Frontier is the fastest where available, with fiber speeds up to 7,000/7,000 Mbps reaching about 18% of the city, and if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice. Where Xfinity does not reach, CenturyLink is the broadest backup, mostly DSL with a fastest common tier of up to 140 Mbps reaching about 17% of the city.
In ZIP 55306, Xfinity leads with about 58% coverage, while Frontier fiber reaches about 33%, making that part of Burnsville notably attractive for high-speed service. Birnamwood in ZIP 55337 leans even more heavily toward Xfinity, at about 73%, while Quantum Fiber reaches about 9% there and Frontier fiber about 7%. Lake Alimagnet, River Hills, and Chateau can still vary sharply from nearby blocks, so do not assume the ZIP-wide winner reaches every address. Fixed wireless from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T may be worth checking when wired options miss, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

About CenturyLink

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Burnsville
Viasat is a limited-performance option compared with alternatives in Burnsville, with a headline Speed Score of 19/100 versus the city average of 63. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with availability at 100% of the city, but satellite service can have higher latency and slower real-world responsiveness. Since availability is address-dependent, check what other technologies reach your specific address before choosing.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is a fallback option rather than a top choice for most households, since its satellite plans have below-average Speed Scores and can be limiting for modern streaming, gaming, and work needs. Viasat Essentials offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month, with both available to 100% of Burnsville; check your address for faster fiber, cable, or other options first.

How We Analyze Internet in Burnsville
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 Burnsville report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Burnsville
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.
Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.
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.
