Fastest Internet Providers in Salt Lake City, UT
UTOPIA is the fastest provider in Salt Lake City, with speeds up to 10 Gbps.
Salt Lake City’s fastest internet service provider is Quantum Fiber, which offers a top speed of 8 Gbps.
Quantum Fiber is just one of a handful of very fast internet service providers in the Salt Lake area though. The city has a remarkable four fiber internet service providers: Quantum Fiber, Google Fiber, Utopia Fiber, and Beehive Broadband. Any of them will offer more than enough speed for your household.
Fiber users get more out of their speeds because of symmetrical uploads and downloads. If you are gaming, streaming, or making video calls, upload speed can make a big difference to how fast your internet feels. For example, in Salt Lake City Google Fiber offers identical 8 Gbps upload speeds, whereas the biggest cable provider Xfinity only has upload speed reaching 35 Mbps.Cable is also more susceptible to traffic overload when the whole neighborhood is online.
One more thing to remember when it comes to speed is data caps. Most cable providers have them, but fiber companies don’t. Data caps can throttle your speed or incur extra charges. If you decide on Xfinity you will be subject to data caps unless you pay extra for xFi Complete unlimited data, although Xfinity’s data allowances are usually more than enough for most users.

Internet Availability in Salt Lake City, UT
Salt Lake City is a very well-connected city by any standard. Broadband cable and fiber internet connections are both widely available in the city. Salt Lakers may even be able to choose among multiple fiber internet providers that serve their address — a rare luxury in internet connectivity.
Which fiber internet options are available to you will depend on where in Salt Lake City you live. (That isn’t true of cable providers though. Xfinity’s 97.8% coverage in town, and its lack of competition, makes it virtually certain to be your only cable option.)
The residential areas in the southeastern portions of Salt Lake City are particularly well served by fiber options. Down around Sugar House Park, you’ll likely find Google Fiber, Utopia, and — particularly north of Route 80 — Quantum Fiber. East Bench is pretty well served, too, particularly by Google Fiber and Utopia.
Salt Lake City’s Central Community is the best-served area of all. Many addresses in the area will have the option to sign up for Utopia, Google Fiber, or Quantum Fiber.
Near the University of Utah, residents of the Avenues can expect to be able to sign up for Google Fiber or Quantum Fiber (but not Utopia, which doesn’t reach that part of the city). The same is true in Capitol Hill, and it’s a similar story on the other side of Temple Square in Downtown Salt Lake City. That’s particularly impressive, since many American cities do not have fiber internet infrastructure in their historic downtowns or business districts.
West of downtown, Google Fiber and Utopia are your best bets, followed by Quantum Fiber. Northwest Salt Lake neighborhoods like Rose Park generally have access to Quantum Fiber, Google Fiber, or both.
Salt Lake’s Northwest Quadrant, past the airport, is home to Beehive Broadband’s share of the city. Utopia and Quantum also cover that part of town, but Google Fiber does not.
