Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Colorado
Customer Reviews
A Fort Collins, CO Customer
XFINITY Cable
November 08, 2025 I think the price is quite good for the service I get. It has increased slightly since last year, which is a bummer, but it works well enough and is higher speed. The only issue I have is occasionally when I am playing a multiplayer online game, as it does tend to lag a bit or lose connection frequently, but it is an easy fix. Since I work from home, I use the internet constantly, and I have never had any issues with it. Additionally, it was easy to set up and has transparent autopay features. When I was having trouble connecting it to the house, I was able to go in and get help from the company, which was a huge relief. They were able to sort out the issues and once it was connected, it has been a hassle-free experience.

Fort Collins Connexion Fiber
September 08, 2025 Fort Collins Connexion is an excellent choice for internet because it is run by the city and is a cheaper price for faster internet than alternatives. For only $70 a month we have reliable 1 gigabit internet when connected with ethernet to the router. WiFi is also included and is reliable, and only a little slower than the wired connection. It is also an advantage that the service is not a contract allowing for ease of service. Since it is owned by the city I also feel that they are less after a profit than working with larger companies. Their customer service is also fantastic and quick to respond.

August 31, 2025 Xfinity is fine until you have a problem. Just today I had an internet outage that was unplanned but this happens very infrequently. I feel that their pricing is unreasonable though. In our city , we have municipal internet but Xfinity has a deal with my apartment complex and they have sole access and I still do not have municipal access and this limits my choice of internet provider. I currently have gigabit internet speed, however, I pay approximately $124 a month and the municipal option is only approximately $50. That is a significant savings for a single parent with kids in college and I would switch in a heartbeat if I could have the municipal internet.

XFINITY Cable
June 21, 2025 I’ve been using Xfinity for about two years, and the experience has been mostly positive. The internet speeds are fast and consistent, which is great for streaming, and working from home. While outages have been rare, they do tend to last a bit longer than I’d like when they occur. Xfinity’s pricing is on the higher side, especially once the promotional period ends, but the speed and reliability make it worth considering if you need high-speed internet. Customer service is hit or miss—it’s easy to reach someone, but resolutions can vary depending on who you get. Overall, I would recommend Xfinity to those who need a reliable connection and don’t mind paying a premium.
