Find internet providers in Salt Lake City, UT
Find internet offered in Salt Lake City, UT – 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 Salt Lake City, UT, your best bet is Google Fiber, covering ~60% of the city and filing speeds up to 8,000 Mbps. However, if Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency is available at your address, it can be the better, faster pick, covering ~22% of the city with speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. Local results vary sharply: Google Fiber leads The Avenues at 81.2%, Sugar House at 83.2%, and Liberty Wells at 94.3%, while Yalecrest is worth checking address by address. The Ensign College area, ZIP 84101, is the standout exception, where Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency reaches 60.4% with fiber speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. ZIP 84107 flips the picture even more strongly, with that provider at 84.5% and Google Fiber at 7.6%, so the citywide winner is not every neighborhood’s winner. Students around the University of Utah, Westminster University, and Ensign College should compare apartment-specific availability with nearby homes, since older DSL or copper infrastructure can still affect Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon fixed wireless is a useful fallback, reaching ~57% of the city with speeds up to 300/20 Mbps, and Xfinity’s cable network is also broadly available. Coverage can change street by street, so confirm the exact address before signing up.

Satellite internet can support everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency may be noticeable for gaming, video calls, and other real-time use. Starlink plans offer up to 100 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up, up to 200 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up, or up to 400 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up, yet all have a 66/100 Speed Score, below Salt Lake City’s 72 average. With 100.0% availability shown for each plan, Starlink is widely accessible, but its limited performance compared with alternatives makes checking other providers at your address worthwhile.
About Starlink
Satellite internet can cover hard-to-reach homes, but its higher latency may make video calls, gaming, and other real-time activities less consistent than fiber or cable. Starlink is available to 100.0% of Salt Lake City, with plans offering up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload and a Speed Score of 66/100, so check your address for fiber or cable first and use Starlink as a practical fallback when those faster, lower-latency options are unavailable.

About HughesNet
At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months and $119.99/mo after that, Fusion buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its satellite Speed Score of 28/100 makes that a modest value for busy households or latency-sensitive activities.

For a small household handling browsing, streaming, and video calls, Utah Broadband’s fixed wireless plan offers up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, but its 47/100 Speed Score indicates limited performance compared with alternatives. That plan is listed for 5.5% of Salt Lake City, so availability and the best speed depend on your address, and households needing stronger performance should check what else is available there.
About Utah Broadband
A small household with modest needs is the best fit for Utah Broadband’s fixed-wireless service, with a top offering of up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, though its Speed Score is 47/100. Because availability is address-specific and the other plans top out at 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload or 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, check for faster fiber or cable first, especially for a busy home, since those lower-speed options may feel limiting for modern internet use.

How We Analyze Internet in Salt Lake City
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 Salt Lake City 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.
