Best Internet Providers in Kearny, NE

Kearny’s best internet providers are Spectrum, Great Plains Communications, and USA Communications. Spectrum’s cable download speeds can reach up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary) and support multiple devices at once. In addition, Spectrum offers amazing TV and phone bundles, with prices starting at just $30 per month for 12 months.

Great Plains Communications is another excellent choice for households in the area. It’s one of only two leading providers that uses fiber-optic technology, and it boasts symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps. One caveat about Great Plains is that its coverage only extends to a little over half of the city.

USA Communications is also a worthwhile option for local customers. Like Great Plains Communications, USA Communications offers fiber plans, which are the gold standard in wired residential connections. However, its top symmetrical speeds up to 200 Mbps are not the fastest of the bunch. Still, USA Communication has impressive availability and is the most accessible fiber option in Kearny.
