Best Internet Providers in Big Sur, CA

Viasat Internet is a standout provider in Big Sur, California, distinguished by its 99% satellite coverage. Serving nearly all of Big Sur, Viasat offers a reliable network with maximum download speeds of 30 Mbps. Their starting price of $49.99 per month provides an excellent value given their expansive coverage and speed.

Two other significant providers, Hughesnet and Starlink, also serve Big Sur. With identical 100% satellite coverage, both providers ensure comprehensive internet accessibility throughout the area. Like Viasat, Hughesnet's price starts at $49.99 per month, and its maximum download speed reaches 25 Mbps. Starlink, meanwhile, offers a wider range of download speeds - between 50-220 Mbps - but comes with a higher cost, starting at $90 per month.
