Best Internet Providers in Austin, AR

In the attractive city of Austin, Arkansas, a couple of standout internet service providers offer unique benefits. Optimum sits at the summit, delivering an impressive 940 Mbps maximum download speed through their cable connections. With plans affordable from $40 per month, Optimum reaches 74% of the city, exceeding the city's overall cable coverage of 77%. It ensures speedy and smooth web browsing, streaming, and gaming experiences for many Austin residents.

However, nipping at Optimum's heels are robust competitors. Verizon, despite covering only 33% of Austin with its innovative 5G internet, provides a robust maximum download speed of 300 Mbps at a price that's only $10 more than Optimum's. The top three rounds off with Viasat Internet, completely enveloping Austin with 100% satellite connection coverage. Viasat's maximum download speed may be a less-thrilling 30 Mbps, but its uniqueness lies in being accessible to every Austin resident, leaving none digitally isolated. With plans kicking off at $49.99 per month, Viasat ensures reliable internet connectivity throughout Austin.
