Best Internet Providers in Springfield, MO

The top options for home internet plans in Springfield, Missouri are the city’s two major fiber-optic internet providers: AT&T Fiber and Brightspeed Fiber.

Both are worthy choices. AT&T Fiber offers speeds up to 5 Gbps on its all-fiber network, though you can also pick up a plan with a lower top speed (for most users, anything 1 Gbps or faster will feel plenty fast). AT&T Fiber internet-only plans cost between $55 and $245 per month, depending on which speed you go with.

As for Brightspeed, it offers speeds up to 940 Mbps (that’s roughly a “gigabit” speed), and its prices run from $65 per month up to $99 per month for internet-only service.

If fiber isn’t available in your area of Springfield, your other high-speed internet option is cable. The local cable internet provider in Springfield is Xtream, which offers gigabit speeds in some areas of Springfield.

It’s not a bad time to pick up a new internet plan in Springfield. AT&T Fiber is offering some customers prepaid VISA rewards cards of up to $150 as an incentive to sign up for fiber plans, and there are also discounts on fiber internet available to AT&T wireless customers. Brightspeed is also offering a prepaid card as an incentive — theirs can be as high as $300 if you qualify.

Fastest Internet Providers in Springfield, MO

AT&T is the fastest provider in Springfield, with speeds up to 5 Gbps.

The very fastest provider in Springfield is AT&T Internet, which can reach speeds of 5 Gbps on its quickest plans. But it’s hard to go wrong with any of the top providers in town, because several providers in Springfield offer gigabit speeds.

Of the three fastest providers in town — AT&T Fiber, Brightspeed, and Xtreme — we most highly recommend the fiber providers, which are AT&T Fiber and Brightspeed. Though cable internet can reach impressive gigabit download speeds, fiber internet has several big advantages, including a better ability to handle high-traffic hours on a crowded network and the ability to deliver upload speeds that are just as fast as its download speeds.

Internet Availability in Springfield, MO

If you’re shopping for internet in Springfield, the first thing you’re going to want to know is whether you have access to either (or both) of the area’s fiber providers: AT&T Fiber and Brightspeed Fiber.

This will depend a lot on which neighborhood of Springfield you call home (for a more precise look at your options, be sure to use the address or ZIP code checker on this page). If you live near Missouri State University’s campus in areas like Rountree or University Heights, you’re likely to be able to sign up for AT&T Fiber. AT&T’s availability is good in Fassnight, too. But other areas aren’t so lucky — most areas of Grant Beach and Woodland Heights, for example, aren’t reached by AT&T’s fiber-optic internet network.

Generally speaking, fiber is more available in the residential fringes of town than it is in the downtown areas. AT&T Fiber also has some coverage in suburban areas outside Springfield, including some excellent availability just across the Schoolcraft Freeway in North Campbell Township. AT&T’s fiber network covers 28.4% of Springfield, so not everyone can get it. Remember to look for Brightspeed’s fiber network if you can’t get AT&T’s, and consider Xtreme’s cable network if you can’t get either of the fiber options.
