Best Internet Providers in East Canaan, CT

As the top-rated internet service provider in East Canaan, Connecticut, Xfinity offers its customers outstanding value. With a cable connection, a maximum download speed of 1.2 Gbps, and a reasonable starting monthly price of $35, Xfinity's network covers 87% of the area. This makes it an excellent choice for large households, online gamers, and heavy video streamers.

On the other hand, Viasat Internet and Hughesnet offer satellite connections, covering 100% of East Canaan. Viasat, ranked second, offers a maximum download speed of 30 Mbps and starts at $49.99 per month. Hughesnet follows, delivering 25 Mbps for the same monthly starting price. These providers ensure connectivity, even in remote areas not reached by other types of connections.

However, while East Canaan enjoys widespread cable connection coverage at 87%, it significantly lacks fiber coverage. Satellite connections cover the whole area, but only 2% have DSL access, and approximately a quarter can receive fixed wireless connections. With this varied landscape, residents must consider cost, speed, and connection type when choosing a plan.
