Best Internet Providers in Friend, NE

In Friend, Nebraska, Kinetic by Windstream sets the standard for internet service. It offers DSL and fiber connections with maximum download speeds up to 1 Gbps. Covering 70.20% of the city, its plans start at $39.99 per month, making it both fast and affordable. The combination of speed, price, and coverage makes it a reliable choice for residents.

Viasat Internet and HughesNet stand as solid alternatives. Viasat uses satellite connections, ensuring 100% coverage in Friend. This is especially useful where wired connections fall short. Still, its maximum download speed of 12 Mbps and starting price of $69.99 per month may not appeal to users needing more speed. HughesNet also offers 100% coverage with a better maximum speed of 100 Mbps and a starting price of $49.99 per month. Despite full coverage from Viasat and HughesNet, Kinetic by Windstream's faster speeds and lower pricing offer better value where available.
