What is the best internet provider in Denver?

CNET’s broadband experts have selected Fibră cuantică as the best overall internet provider in Denver, Colorado. Considering Quantum Fiber’s range of coverage in the area and its overall speeds, it isn’t hard to see why. Furthermore, its variety of plans means it’s perfect for individuals living alone and those in a fast-paced family environment.

If you’re looking for the fastest option, you’ll be happy to know that Quantum Fiber checks the box for that, too, with an 8-gig plan at just $150 per month. For customers who would like an alternative, we recommend trying out Xfinity, Internet 5G de acasă Verizon and Ting — all three offer solid speeds and competitive pricing.

However, what about residents looking for options that won’t leave their wallet feeling like it’s just had a hole punched through it? If you’re looking for cheaper options, we recommend Xfinity’s Connect plan, which offers 150 megabits per second for just $35 a month. Internet de acasă T-Mobile is also a great, more affordable option, particularly for customers who use T-Mobile as their mobile phone service provider.

Other available internet providers in Denver

• Google Fiber Webpass: This fixed wireless solution from Google Fiber is not widely available in Denver. It’s focused on apartment buildings and offers a high-speed service that’s one plan only: symmetrical gigabit speeds for $70 a month (or $63 a month with a yearly plan). GFiber features free installation and requires no contracts and equipment fees. Not widely available in the Mile High City, GFiber can be found at select addresses in the Highland, River North Art District and West Colfax areas.
• Satellite Internet: No matter where you live in the US, satellite internet is an option. Is it your best option? Probably not, especially if you live within Denver city limits. There are going to be cheaper and faster plans available. If you’re in the more rural outskirts of the Mile High City (I’m thinking Highlands Ranch, Roxborough Park, Sedalia and the like), you might seriously consider this mode as a way of being connected. Unlike Hughesnet, Viasat no longer requires a two-year contract commitment with its new unlimited data plan; nonetheless, both are your two most likely choices. Starlink, which features unlimited data and doesn’t require a contract, might be an attractive alternative. It still requires a hefty upfront cost of nearly $349. 
• Internet de acasă T-Mobile: T-Mobile’s fixed wireless solution uses the carrier’s 4G LTE and 5G networks to provide cellular internet coverage for your home. The mobile carrier has recently added two plans on top of its standard $50-per-month service. The Amplified Home plan starts at $60 a month but includes a $15 discount for eligible mobile customers. Then there’s the All-In Home Internet plan. It’s appealingly straightforward — no contracts, equipment fees and no data caps. While T-Mobile Home Internet is available throughout the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metro area, you must check your address on the T-Mobile site to determine if you’re eligible for home internet service.
• Ting Internet: This fiber internet provider is local to the south Denver suburb of Centennial. It caters to those looking for superfast and reliable internet service, featuring a symmetrical 1,000Mbps plan for $89 a month. Wi-Fi can add $11 or $18 to your monthly bill, depending on the level of service you choose, or you can use your own router and skip the fee altogether.
• Internet 5G de acasă Verizon: Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless home internet product has a higher average download speed (300Mbps) than T-Mobile Home Internet and subscribes to a similar “everything’s included in one price” approach — installation, equipment and fees for $50 a month. On top of that, eligible Verizon Wireless customers can get a sizable monthly discount to boot.

Cheap internet options in Denver

How fast is Denver broadband?

Regarding internet speeds, “Cow Town” is almost too appropriate. In fact, Denver didn’t fare well on its median download internet speeds compared with other top US cities. It ranked 96th on Ookla’s recent speed test data with a median download speed of 126Mbps. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) That same speed test data showed Xfinity as Denver’s fastest provider, with a median download speed of approximately 239Mbps in the area. 

If you’re looking for more speed, you may have access to Quantum Fiber’s multi-gigabit offerings but only in select areas. Many other providers in the Denver area offer gigabit plans, such as Ting Internet, Xfinity and Verizon 5G Home Internet.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Denver

Furnizorii de servicii de internet sunt numeroși și regionali. Spre deosebire de cele mai recente smartphone, laptop, router sau ustensile de bucătărie, it’s impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. What’s our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary database of pricing, availability and speed information that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov. 

It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication. 

Odată ce avem aceste informații localizate, ne punem trei întrebări principale: 

• Furnizorul oferă acces la viteze rezonabile de internet? 
• Clienții primesc o valoare decentă pentru ceea ce plătesc? 
• Sunt clienții mulțumiți de serviciile lor? 

While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla şi Rapoarte FCC.

What’s the final word on internet providers in Denver?

While you can certainly find ways to connect in Denver, there aren’t the same number of options available here as you might find in some other big cities across the country. Xfinity’s cable internet — and the six different plans it offers — will probably be your top option, but if your address is serviceable for Quantum Fiber, make that your first choice.
