We rated the largest internet providers in the U.S. for 2025. Each provider was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 based on over a dozen factors, including speed, cost, availability, fees, customer satisfaction, connection type and more. We also used data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to compare the average speed offered by internet companies in the U.S. to set a baseline for what is considered a good internet speed. Additionally, we analyzed data from the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) to understand how each internet service provider (ISP) fares in customer service and perceived value.
Internet technology in Colorado
One of the first things you’ll need to decide when choosing a Colorado internet provider is your connection type. Depending on where you live, you may have several options, each with its pros and cons.
Fiber internet offers the fastest connection, with symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 5 GB in some parts of Colorado. Unfortunately, this high-speed option is only available to about a third of residents. Cable and fixed wireless connections are more accessible throughout the state, but they can’t handle as many connected devices as a fiber connection can. Finally, there’s satellite internet, which is available everywhere in Colorado but much slower than other options.
