High speed Internet options in northern Colorado (sh.itjust.works)

I'm moving to north Colorado soon, up near Fort Collins area, and I'm looking to get set up with high speed Internet. Anyone have any familiarity with Xfinity? They're offering speeds that work for me, but I'm hoping to get a feel for how consistent they are with service and how easy it is to get issues resolved.

Edit: Went with Quantum Fiber, they just came and installed today. Very happy so far!

Thank you for this! Would you recommend Xfinity over Quantum? I've had positive experiences with CenturyLink in Washington State before, but no experience with Xfinity to compare, and I'm sure the large distance makes a difference.

You may want to just try one for a few months, then the other if they don’t seem good enough. I’ve used both CL/Lumen/Quantum DSL and xfinity cable around CO in the past. It can really depend on a home to home basis.

The CenturyLink product tends to “feel” more responsive as it tended to have faster back end services, but overall up/down speeds were slower. If you can’t establish a fast uplink due to distance/wiring, video calls and cloud services will become unusable.

Another option, maybe, would be Comcast Business Internet. They have no caps, higher network priority than consumer, faster support turnaround time, and you do not need to be a business to get it. The trade-off is top speeds tend to be a bit lower for the same price. If they offer Xfinity to a home, business service should also be available.

Great advice, thank you very much!
