The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedMidco is the best overall, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 26% of the city, while its overall footprint reaches about 85%. Where that does not reach, CenturyLink is the broadest backup, mostly DSL, reaching about 76% of the city, with its fastest common DSL tier offering up to 80 Mbps to about 5%.
Local results vary sharply: Bluepeak leads McKennan Park at about 72%, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps, while Whittier shows Midco fiber reaching about 26%. Prairie Hills is more Midco-heavy, led by cable service reaching about 47%, and ZIP 57101 is especially Midco-dominated at about 69%, largely on cable. ZIP 57108 favors Bluepeak at about 60%, with Alliance also providing fiber to about 11%. Students at the University of Sioux Falls, Augustana University, and Southeast Technical College should check their apartment address carefully, since older buildings can still be tied to DSL or copper, and reliable service matters for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon fixed wireless is another option, with speeds up to 300/20 Mbps reaching about 57% of the city, while T-Mobile reaches about 24% at up to 100/20 Mbps. Coverage can change street by street, including around Axtell Park, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Sioux Falls
Midco is a strong choice in Sioux Falls, especially where its fiber is available. Its fiber plan is a top-tier option with up to 5,000 Mbps both ways, a 99/100 Speed Score, and coverage of about 26% of the city, while its cable plan is a reliable choice with up to 2,000 Mbps down and 350 Mbps up, a 98/100 score, and coverage of about 27%. The best technology depends on your address, so check which Midco plan is actually available 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 Midco
Midco is a strong choice for many Sioux Falls homes, offering fiber with up to 5,000 Mbps both ways in about 26% of census blocks and cable with up to 2,000 Mbps download and 350 Mbps upload in about 27%. Availability is address-dependent, and homes limited to the up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload fixed wireless option may find it inadequate for busy households, so check for fiber or cable service first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Sioux Falls
Bluepeak’s fastest fiber plan reaches about 22% of Sioux Falls, so availability is limited to a portion of local addresses. Where available, fiber with up to 5,000 Mbps both ways and a 99/100 Speed Score is a top-tier option. Because Bluepeak also uses cable and copper, your address determines whether you get that performance; its up to 1,000/30 Mbps cable plan is a solid option with a 79/100 score, while the up to 10/1 Mbps copper plan has limited performance compared with alternatives.
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 Bluepeak
Bluepeak reaches 40.1% of Sioux Falls, so it is worth checking your address, though availability is not citywide. At eligible addresses, its fiber offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways and its cable plan offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, but these faster options are address-dependent, and locations limited to copper with up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload may not be sufficient for modern streaming, work, or multiple users.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Sioux Falls
CenturyLink is a competitive choice in Sioux Falls, led by its top-tier fiber option with a Speed Score of 79/100, above the city average of 68. Fiber Internet offers up to 940 Mbps down and 940 Mbps up for $75 per month, but it is available to only about 4% of the city. Address availability matters because some locations may instead qualify only for the 100 Mbps DSL plan, which has a lower Speed Score of 28/100 and limited performance compared with alternatives.

About CenturyLink
CenturyLink is a good option when its fiber service is available, but you should verify your address before choosing it. The fiber plan offers up to 940 Mbps both ways for $75 per month and is an excellent choice, though it is available to only about 4% of Sioux Falls; the fallback DSL plan reaches about 4% and offers up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload for $55 per month, which may be adequate for basic use but not enough for many modern households.

Satellite service offers broad reach and up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload with Starlink’s Residential Max plan, though higher latency can affect gaming, video calls, and other real-time uses. Its 78/100 Speed Score is above Sioux Falls’ 68 average, making it competitive for a satellite provider, and the plan is available to 100.0% of the city. Because wired connections may provide more consistent low-latency performance, check what technologies are available at your specific address before choosing.

About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach and up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on its Residential Max plan, which is suitable for streaming and everyday use, though satellite latency can make gaming and video calls less responsive. The Residential Max plan is available to 100.0% of Sioux Falls and has a 78/100 Speed Score, but check for fiber or cable at your address first because those technologies are typically a better fit for demanding modern use, while Starlink is a useful fallback where wired options are unavailable.

At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $119.99, HughesNet Fusion buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 28/100 Speed Score reflects limited satellite performance for the price.

How We Analyze Internet in Sioux Falls
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 Sioux Falls 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.
