At BroadbandNow, we advocate for a definition of broadband internet to be at least 100 Mbps, as opposed to the FCC definition of 25 Mbps, which would be considered slow for many internet-intensive activities.

In South Carolina, 86.1% of households have access to 100 Mbps wired or fixed wireless broadband, ranking 44th among all states.

In South Carolina, 83.6% of households have access to 1 Gbps wired or fixed wireless broadband, ranking 35th among all states.

2026 South Carolina Broadband Market Analysis

South Carolina ranks #40 nationwide (slipping 20 spots from 2025) in BroadbandNow’s 2026 Best and Worst States for Broadband report, earning an overall grade of C (Score: 73.95/100). The state’s standing is anchored by fundamental prerequisite connectivity, with 95.6% of residents having access to basic wired or fixed wireless broadband and 87.1% covered by affordable low-priced plans. Physical network architecture across the state features a 58.3% fiber-optic availability rate, which directly influences overall consumer reliability and quality scores.

In our evaluation of over 160 million speed tests, South Carolina demonstrated network responsiveness with a median round-trip latency of 31.83 ms alongside median download speeds reaching 151.1 Mbps and upload speeds of 18.6 Mbps. Real-world network performance reveals noticeable variations between leading urban corridors and surrounding communities. Across regional population centers and municipal hubs, ongoing infrastructure deployments continue to expand fiber penetration and elevate local bandwidth capabilities.

In rural and less densely populated regions across the state, geographic distances and lower fiber infrastructure density can result in slower median upload tiers and higher latency. Because infrastructure quality, plan pricing, and fiber availability shift dramatically from city to city across South Carolina, checking address-level provider coverage remains essential for remote workers, competitive gamers, and everyday households.
