Best Internet Providers in Colorado Springs, CO
The best choice for internet in Colorado Springs is Quantum Fiber. Not only does Quantum Fiber cover more of Colorado Springs than StratusIQ, but it also provides a better internet deal by combining speeds up to 8 Gbps with free installation, Price for Life pricing, and an included Wi-Fi 7 device on multi-gig plans into one package.
That said, if you’re fortunate enough to live in a region of Colorado Springs that has StratusIQ, it’s still an excellent ISP option that is known for its high-speed fiber internet plans. Our data shows it’s popular among Colorado Springs residents, especially for its high speeds up to 10 Gbps.
High-speed fiber plans are your best bet in Colorado Springs (as long as you can access them). If you can’t, your best fallback option is the area’s cable provider, Xfinity. Though its reputation in town isn’t quite as good as StratusIQ or Quantum Fiber, Xfinity does offer some objectively fast internet. Xfinity’s download speeds get up to 1 Gbps on its cable network, which is admittedly much less than that of its fiber rivals in the city. Xfinity offers bundles starting at $55 per month, and it also allows customers to choose internet-only plans, though some may come with contracts.
There are other options in Colorado Springs, including Underline El Paso, Force Broadband, Kellin Communications and CenturyLink’s DSL home internet plans. Fixed wireless and DSL connections aren’t necessarily too slow to handle a typical home Wi-Fi network, but they’re far from the cutting-edge speeds provided by fiber providers. We recommend starting with fiber internet providers before checking out alternate options.
New customers get to enjoy exclusive, limited-time deals and promotions from various ISPs. For example, Xfinity offers plenty of ways to save — from getting Apple TV+, Peacock Premium and Netflix Standard with the addition of Xfinity StreamSaver to free Wi-Fi equipment for 24 months — so you can get the most out of your internet plan. These deals and promotions change often, so you’ll have to check back for what’s new and if they’re applicable to you.
Fastest Internet Providers in Colorado Springs, CO
There are several powerful home internet options in Colorado Springs, including multiple fiber providers. If you want the fastest internet provider in Colorado Springs, you’ll want to go with StratusIQ for its symmetrical download and upload speeds up to 10 Gbps. StratusIQ’s Gigabit Beyond plans start at 2.5 Gbps, and the company even offers a proprietary Stratus-phere Smart Wi-Fi system to get the most out of your connection.
Generally speaking, internet speeds mean more when you’re talking about fiber internet. Fiber internet offers “symmetrical” speeds, meaning that the top advertised download speed for a plan is also the plan’s top upload speed. That’s not true of connection types like cable and DSL, which advertise download speeds and offer significantly slower upload speeds.
Of course, if you cannot access StrausIQ at your address, you should consider Quantum Fiber for its speeds up to 8 Gbps on a fiber internet network. Whether you want a 1 Gbps, 3 Gbps, or 8 Gbps connection, Quantum Fiber’s plans combine quick speeds with affordability. Best of all, Quantum Fiber provides 360 WiFi services to keep your whole home covered with reliable Wi-Fi.

Internet Availability in Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Springs residents have several great options for high-speed broadband internet, but not every provider is available at every address. The most consistently available provider is Xfinity, which covers 94.4% of Colorado Springs and serves just about every residential area. But your area of Colorado Springs may or may not have access to the fiber providers we recommend most: StratusIQ and Quantum Fiber.
StratusIQ covers a relatively small area of Colorado Springs, but it’s very popular among residents who can get it. You’re most likely to find it west of I-25, near the Garden of the Gods, or in a patch of coverage it maintains in Middle Shooks Run. There’s also StratusIQ coverage out near Cimarron Hills, along East Platte Avenue. That coverage extends into Cimarron Hills itself.
Then there’s Quantum Fiber, which is more widely available than StratusIQ. Quantum’s network is at its strongest near I-24 and Nevada Avenue. Quantum’s network winds its way all over town, so it’s worth checking your address no matter where in town you live, from Briargate all the way down to Southeast Colorado Springs.
It’s worth noting that many areas of Colorado Springs are also served by CenturyLink’s DSL plans, though we generally recommend you check for fiber or cable options first.
