Best Internet Providers in Grand Rapids, MN

CenturyLink holds the top spot for internet service in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Offering an 80 Mbps DSL connection that covers about a third of the city, CenturyLink delivers reliable, reasonably fast service starting at $50 a month.

Not all areas of Grand Rapids connect to CenturyLink, however. As alternatives, Viasat Internet and Hughesnet cover 100% of the city with their satellite services. At roughly $50 a month, you can get a maximum download speed of 30 Mbps with Viasat, and 25 Mbps with Hughesnet.

When you consider that DSL services only cover 36% of the city and cable services cover 65%, it's evident that satellite and fiber services are essential, as they offer 100% connectivity. For residents without access to other connection types, the full-coverage options from Viasat and Hughesnet are highly reliable.
