What is the best internet provider in Littleton?

CNET recommends Quantum Fiber as the best internet provider in Littleton, Colorado. The fiber internet provider offers a slew of plans with symmetrical upload and download speeds, ranging from 500 megabits per second to 940Mbps, the fastest in Littleton. Plus, Quantum Fiber’s internet plans come with free equipment rental, so you won’t have to spend extra on hardware. And all plans offer unlimited data, so you can browse, stream and download without worrying about hitting any limits. One of the best things about Quantum Fiber is its price-for-life guarantee, which means your monthly rates will stay the same without any surprise hikes leaving your wallet hurting.

However, Quantum Fiber has one major drawback: its availability. According to the Federal Communications Commission, less than a third of Littleton households are serviceable. If you're out of range, CenturyLink, another Lumen Technologies brand, is much more widely available in Littleton. Another option is Xfinity, the nation’s largest cable internet provider.

Xfinity happens to be the cheapest internet provider in Littleton, with plans starting at $20 per month for download speeds up to 150Mbps. There are also wireless options in the city, specifically Verizon 5G Home Internet and T-Mobile Home Internet. Verizon 5G Home Internet has a lower starting price and faster maximum speeds, while T-Mobile Home Internet boasts greater availability, especially in rural areas.

What’s a good internet speed?

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you're looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you'll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here's an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.

For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Littleton

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. What’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.

It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of the time of publication.

Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:

The answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When it comes to selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and also take into account real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

Marijuana doesn't get the same attention on election night that it used to in Colorado, where the plant has been legal for adults at the state level since 2012. But towns and counties still have plenty of say in how — or even if — dispensaries, cultivations and other marijuana businesses operate within their borders.

In this election cycle, voters in eight Colorado municipalities weighed marijuana-related measures, from the Denver suburbs to border towns to Colorado Springs, where separate proposals banning and allowing retail pot sales both passed.

Check out these results across Colorado from the Secretary of State's Office:

Alamosa

A town of about 10,000 people, Alamosa already allows recreational marijuana sales, but Alamosa's three pot shops probably won't be allowed to sell medical marijuana products. So far, nearly 56 percent of voters have rejected a ballot proposal that would've allowed medical sales at dispensaries.

Colorado Springs

The state's second-largest city has allowed medical marijuana sales for the better part of two decades, but recreational sales remain prohibited despite multiple citizen-initiated attempts. This year, Colorado Springs voters finally approved a local ordinance allowing the city's dozens of medical marijuana dispensaries to offer recreational sales — but they also approved a separate measure that prohibits recreational sales in the city charter.

Once the election is certified, Springs officials may have a schism on their hands, with Mayor Yemi Mobolade telling local media the result "presents a really interesting legal dilemma for us."

However, Mobolade added that he and the city attorney believe the ban added to the city charter supersedes the ordinance allowing retail sales. Marijuana legalization didn't get where it is today without a lawsuit or two, though, so we'll see where this one ends up.

Erie

Erie, a town just north of Lafayette in Boulder and Weld counties, bans marijuana dispensaries but allows cultivation businesses. There are currently no recreational marijuana growers located in Erie, according to the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, but voters were tasked with deciding on a 5 percent local excise tax on recreational marijuana growers in town. The measure appears to have passed; as of early November 6, over 58 percent of Erie voters were in favor of the measure.

Fort Lupton

Fort Lupton voters approved dispensaries in 2021, but they had two more marijuana ordinances to consider this year. Early returns indicate voters have approved a measure allowing marijuana cultivations, extraction facilities, edibles manufacturers, testing labs and other businesses, but they also appear to have rejected a measure proposing a 1.5 percent excise tax on those businesses.

Littleton

The City of Littleton only has three dispensaries, but local officials estimated those three marijuana stores would generate an additional $646,000 in annual tax revenue if Littleton raised its recreational marijuana sales tax by 4 percent. If approved, the measure would increase Littleton's local recreational pot sales tax to 7 percent overall, but that doesn't count 17.9 percent in state sales taxes. Voters are mostly split on the measure, which had just under 52 percent of the vote as of Wednesday afternoon.

Loveland

Loveland, a Larimer County town that has long banned commercial marijuana sales, appears to have approved a small number of medical and recreational dispensaries to operate in town. Local Ballot Question 2H would allow a "limited" number of marijuana stores, with further regulations to be decided by the city council. Even if voters approved 2H, however, a separate ballot initiative proposing a 5 percent local sales tax on marijuana had to pass in order for 2H to take effect. As of late November 5, both 2H and the excise tax initiative, Ballot Issue 2F, were in place to pass with comfortable majorities.

Mead

Voters in Mead, a small community north of Boulder, appear to have rejected a proposal that would have allowed a "limited number" of marijuana businesses to operate in town. As of Wednesday afternoon, almost 60 percent of voters had weighed in against the measure.

Sterling

Sterling voters approved commercial marijuana sales in 2023 but rejected a separate proposal for a local sales tax on pot sales. The northeastern Colorado town's government has until 2025 to craft regulations before dispensaries can apply to open there, so if the second go-round for local marijuana taxes didn't pass, the town could be faced with allowing marijuana sales but not collecting any revenue. As of late Tuesday night, a ballot measure proposing a 5 percent tax on local marijuana sales had a slight majority, but it was still too close to call.

Residents Enjoy the Wind Crest Dining Experience

Community Contributor

Residents at Wind Crest, an Erickson Senior Living community in Highlands Ranch, Colo., have nine top-notch restaurants just steps from their apartment homes--all of which boast enticing menus.

The Signature Dining program, which focuses on cooked-to-order entrees made with the finest ingredients, empowers Wind Crest's chefs to create new takes on classic dishes and innovative fare.

"My wife Judy and I have a group of friends that we gather together to enjoy good food and good company!" says resident Tom Logan.

Light bites

The nine dining venues at Wind Crest--with another opening early next year--range from casual cafes and taverns to full-service restaurants, where specialties are impeccably prepared and plated.

Powerful partnership

To ensure resident satisfaction at each of these unique eateries, Dining Services Director Nicole Norton and her team of expert chefs meet regularly with residents to discuss menus and feedback.

Tom, a member of the Resident Advisory Council who serves as liaison to the Dining Services team, appreciates that resident suggestions are often incorporated into restaurant offerings.

"Residents can see that their requests for changes have been made," says Tom. "It's hard to beat that kind of response!"

"We continually tell residents how important their feedback is," says Norton. "If somebody had a great meal, I get to celebrate with my team that we had a positive impact on a resident's day. They also let me know when we can improve. Making sure the meals they receive are delicious and healthy--and that they enjoy them--is really fulfilling."

Modifications that matter

With so many delicious and well-balanced dishes to choose from, it's easy for residents to get all the vitamins and nutrients they need.

"There's a variety of different meals available campuswide, and Dining Services keeps each restaurant's menu distinct from other restaurants' menus," says Tom. "There's so much to choose from. It's something that's really appealing!"

And with the My Erickson app, nutrition information--including ingredients, calories, and fat content--is accessible with just a few taps. Residents can also search for heart-smart and vegetarian meals, as well as dishes that avoid allergens.

"Every dish is prepared in the moment, just as ordered," explains Norton. "Our residents love being able to modify their meals. For example, if they're on a low-sodium diet, they can request a sauce to be on the side or not included at all. We offer as much flexibility and modifications to the menu as possible."

Social environments

Tom adds that during meals, especially dinnertime, many residents socialize with friends and neighbors--including him and Judy.

"We've asked to eat with new residents or people we don't know," he says. "They can share some great experiences!"

When Little Man Ice Cream was searching for its tenth metro location, at the top of the list was an area the company had been eyeing since 2017 — Littleton’s Main Street.

“It’s been kind of a dream for us,” says Basha Cohen, Little Man director of marketing. “Littleton was, probably out of every opportunity that’s come up, the thing that feels the closest to the Little Man ethos — community, a walking downtown street, and kind of old school.”

That dream will become reality on October 30, when Little Man opens its doors in its new spot on historic Main Street in downtown Littleton. The ice cream joint is just the latest in a string of new restaurants that have debuted along a four-block stretch in the past eighteen months, including the first expansion of Parker's Black+Haus Tavern, another Denver Beer Company and Cencalli Taqueria, as well as new ownership for Grand Station.

In all, about a third of the food and drink establishments on Main Street opened within the past two years, and more are on the way for this once-sleepy corridor. Colorado-based sandwich chain Snarfs is expected to open a spot soon at the west end of the street, and there’s talk of an as-yet-to-be-named pizza spot.

Antony Bruno

According to Korri Lundock, executive director of the Littleton Business Chamber, this latest round of newcomers marks a much-needed rebound from the pandemic, which ravaged Littleton’s restaurants just as it did the rest of the industry nationwide. “We’ve always had a little bit of change, but Covid wore many restaurants out,” she says. “When they finally got through it, many decided it was time to do something else.”

The businesses that moved on included McKinner’s Pizza (its former home is now Cencalli’s Taqueria), Jackass Brewery (now the Denver Beer Company), and Nook coffee (now about to be Little Man). Snarf’s will be taking over the space formerly occupied by Sukoon, an Indian restaurant.

But unlike other municipalities where corporate chains replaced local businesses in the wake of the pandemic, Main Street Littleton has remained remarkably grassroots. While the street has its share of chains, nearly all are Colorado owned; there are no McDonald's or Sunglass Huts to be found. That was part of the draw for Little Man.

“I think the desire to keep it a small town is very much intact,” says Cohen. “It’s an old-school vibe that has been retained. Thank God the city is not allowing all these historic buildings to get ripped down and turned into green boxes. So everything about it feels inviting. It’s well-designed. It’s got so much heart.”

There are no ordinances prohibiting national chains from moving onto main Street; instead, that “vibe” is the result of a very engaged and selective group of property owners who have curated the type of Main Street atmosphere they want to see.

“We have property owners down here that are very diligent in finding the right tenant or the right fit,” says Lundock. “They don’t just rent to anybody. They are all looking for something that will be different. They guide the right businesses in.”

For instance, Cencalli Taqueria owner Zoe Romero initially planned to open a pizza spot in the former McKinner’s. When she switched concepts to a taqueria, she had to convince the landlord, who was concerned about multiple Mexican restaurants in such a small area. The space now occupied by Denver Beer Company was vacant for two years before the owner of the building found the right fit.

But while the pandemic lockdowns are behind them, these business owners see challenges ahead.

Early next year, Denver Water is scheduled to begin replacing the ancient water lines running under the historic district, tearing up sidewalks and streets. The city is also reviewing options for a broader reimagination of the area under an improvement plan dubbed “Project Downtown.”

Both could have serious impacts. While short-term construction projects like the water line replacement will create only short-term headaches (as long as they stay on schedule), Project Downtown proposals could dramatically reduce the parking that's already at a premium.

But in the meantime, businesses like Little Man that have joined the thriving Main Street scene have nothing but positive things to say about working with Littleton officials and civic groups.

“The city has been incredible to work with,” says Cohen. “Every municipality could take a page out of doing business with this town.”

Popular Austin-based pizza brand expands in Colorado, celebrates grand opening with food giveaways, event tent, temporary tattoo station and more

Littleton, CO (RestaurantNews.com) Via 313 is bringing the taste of Motor City to more of Colorado, spreading its craveable, rectangle-crusted pies further into the Mile High City. Its second area restaurant — located at 5826 S. Wadsworth #2400 near the Bowles Crossing Shopping Mall — opens in Littleton in late October.

The new Via 313 is hosting an official grand opening on Oct. 26 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., featuring an event tent with games and prizes, a temporary tattoo station and food giveaways. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting event alongside the Littleton Business Chamber begins at 11 a.m. Twenty-five percent of the day’s proceeds will be donated to LittletonQ+, which helps to celebrate the vibrant tapestry of the Littleton community by fostering inclusivity while providing opportunities for all individuals to come together and appreciate the cultures, identities and perspectives that make us unique.

Baked in heavy pans similar to the auto parts trays found in Detroit in the ‘40s, Via 313’s focaccia-like dough develops into a caramelized, cheesy crust — and has quickly become a local and national favorite.

“Colorado has already welcomed us with open arms,” said Zane Hunt, co-founder of Via 313. “We’re proud to be getting involved more with the Denver community and will continue to give back in any way that we can.”

The new Littleton restaurant marks the brand’s 22^nd location systemwide and second in the Centennial State after opening its Park Meadows location in May. Via 313 Littleton will be open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“This opening shows that the Colorado community is clamoring for more of our signature Detroit-style pizza that we brought all the way from Texas,” said Brandon Hunt. “We are so excited to be expanding here, and we know that our guests will continue to fall in love with the pizza as we continue to grow throughout the Rocky Mountains.”

Via 313 currently operates 16 full-service restaurants and two permanently placed trailers throughout Texas and Utah, with several more locations in the pipeline.
