Best Internet Providers in Big Bay, MI

In Big Bay, Michigan, Viasat Internet claims the top spot among internet service providers. As a satellite provider, Viasat delivers coverage to 83% of Big Bay, offering a maximum download speed of 30 Mbps. This is adequate for routine internet tasks like browsing and emailing. Plans start at a competitive $49.99 per month, making Viasat a popular choice in spite of its less-than-stellar speed.

Then we have Hughesnet and Starlink, trailing Viasat but not by much, each providing complete 100% coverage in Big Bay. Hughesnet matches Viasat's starting monthly price of $49.99 but falls slightly short in speed with a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps. Conversely, Starlink shines in the speed department, offering download speeds between 50 and 220 Mbps but at a higher starting price of $90 per month.

Be it satellite or fixed wireless, residents of Big Bay have decent options to pick from, considering their online needs and spending limits. With all the choices on the table, picking the right internet plan shouldn't be a hard task.
