Best Internet Providers in Macon, NC

Viasat Internet, a satellite service provider, dominates the Macon, North Carolina market. Covering a whopping 100% of the town, Viasat offers speeds up to 100 megabits per second. Starting at just $49.99 a month, this service delivers an impressive blend of speed and access to the entirety of Macon. Whether you're a casual web surfer or a heavy downloader, Viasat's comprehensive coverage meets various internet needs.

Hughesnet, the second-largest provider in Macon, also relies on satellite technology for its 100% town coverage. However, its maximum download speed is 25 Mbps, trailing Viasat's offering. Priced likewise at $49.99 per month, Hughesnet provides fair value considering its wide coverage. Its lower speed rate doesn't diminish its appeal, particularly to users prioritizing connection availability over high-speed demands. In Macon, where both Viasat and Hughesnet offer satellite-based plans that reach the entirety of the population, they have become indispensable to the community.
