Getting access to high-speed Internet has been a longstanding challenge for folks living in rural areas. Because high-speed Internet usually requires laying miles of cable or similarly difficult operations, Internet options in the countryside can be sparse and expensive.
The question is, if you live in a rural area, what high-speed Internet options are available to you, and which should you choose?
JUMP TO:
Spectrum is the largest and fastest-growing rural Internet provider in the nation.
When looking for the best rural Internet, there are several factors to consider:
First, make sure the Internet provider you are interested in offers coverage in your area. Fixed Wireless Internet providers, like Verizon and T-Mobile, might make lofty claims about speed and coverage, but that type of connection must be transmitted from a cell tower within 10 miles of your home or a small cell node under a mile away. If you live in a rural or remote area, this might not be a realistic option for you.
You’ll also want consistent coverage for a fast, reliable connection. Fixed Wireless providers often limit their “5G” Home Internet customers’ speed and/or bandwidth depending on how much traffic runs through a single cell tower or node at a given time.
On the other hand, Spectrum Internet® delivers the fastest, most reliable Internet within the Spectrum network. Powered by a fiber-rich broadband network, Spectrum offers download speeds up to 1 Gig. Plus, Spectrum doesn’t cap your data.
