The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedSpectrum, cable with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, reaches about 82% of the city, making it the best overall choice. If it reaches your address, Frontier is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 7,000/7,000 Mbps reaching about 15% of the city. AT&T is the safe pick where Spectrum does not reach, mostly fixed wireless, with an overall footprint of about 47% and its fastest common fixed wireless tier, up to 100 Mbps, reaching about 12%.
Old Colony is more competitive than the citywide picture: Breezeline leads there at about 30%, while Frontier fiber reaches about 26%, and Consolidated Fiber reaches about 5%. Northwest Neighborhood and Southwest Neighborhood can vary sharply by block, so students near Ohio Wesleyan University should check whether an apartment has modern cable or fiber rather than old DSL or copper. Reliable service matters for Zoom, streaming, and gaming, especially in student housing where the available infrastructure may differ from nearby homes. Verizon fixed wireless reaches about 55% of the city at speeds up to 300/20 Mbps, while T-Mobile reaches about 34% at speeds up to 100/20 Mbps. Coverage changes street by street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

Our recommendation for Delaware
Spectrum’s headline Speed Score of 80/100 supports demanding use such as streaming, video calls, gaming, and connecting multiple devices, with Internet Gig offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload. Its cable service is a solid option and scores above Delaware’s city average of 59, while Internet Premier offers up to 500 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload for a lower introductory price. Availability is address-dependent, with these plans reaching about 82% of the city, so confirm which tier your address qualifies for 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 Spectrum

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Delaware
Breezeline is a solid option in Delaware, with its top plan earning a 79/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 59. The Internet 500 Mbps cable plan offers up to 500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload for $40 per month, plus a $50 reward card, making it a reliable choice for most household needs. Availability is address-dependent, and both listed plans reach about 37% of the city, so check your address to confirm whether the 500 Mbps option is offered.

About Breezeline
Breezeline is a good option for many households, especially with its cable plan offering up to 500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload for $40 per month, plus a $50 reward card. That plan has a good Speed Score of 79/100, but Breezeline’s service is available to about 37% of Delaware, so check your address first; the lower-cost 100 Mbps plan is adequate for basic use but may feel limiting for busy modern households.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Delaware
At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $119.99, HughesNet Fusion offers up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 26/100 Speed Score is below Delaware’s city average of 59. Fusion is available to 100.0% of Delaware, yet satellite service has higher latency and limited performance compared with alternatives, so consider checking other providers at your address first. The lower-cost Select plan provides up to 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload for $49.99 per month initially, but its 16/100 Speed Score reinforces the tradeoff.
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 HughesNet
At $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 to 100 Mbps download and 3 to 5 Mbps upload, but its satellite service is below average in Delaware and may feel limited for streaming, gaming, and multiple users. It reaches 100% of Delaware, making it a useful fallback where wired service is unavailable, though you should check your address for faster fiber, cable, or other options first.

How We Analyze Internet in Delaware
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 Delaware report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Delaware
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.
