Best Internet Providers in Myrtle Beach, SC

The best internet providers in Myrtle Beach are Spectrum and HTC. Spectrum is the best internet provider in Myrtle Beach, because of its download speeds up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary) and internet-only plans that start at just $50 per month for one year. Customers enjoy Spectrum for its multiple bundle options, including Spectrum Mobile, Spectrum TV, and Spectrum Voice services, with prices starting at $30 per month for one year.

HTC is another excellent internet option in Myrtle Beach. In addition to cable and DSL internet, HTC also offers Myrtle Beach residents fiber-optic internet. With a fiber connection from HTC, you can get up to 1 Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds, even during peak usage hours. HTC also offers a variety of services, similar to Spectrum.

Fastest Internet Providers in Myrtle Beach, SC

Frontier is the fastest provider in Myrtle Beach, with speeds up to 5 Gbps.

Spectrum and HTC are the fastest internet providers in Myrtle Beach. Whether you want cable or fiber internet, both providers offer gigabit speeds. Spectrum operates on a cable connection, with speeds reaching 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary). Cable networks are great for their widespread availability, but you will experience slower upload speeds with Spectrum that reach only up to 50 Mbps. Many customers like the reliability of Spectrum, however, especially since you can manage your home Wi-Fi using the My Spectrum app.

HTC, much like Spectrum, offers download speeds up to 1 Gbps in Myrtle Beach. Large households with power internet users benefit from fiber networks, since speeds don’t slow down during peak hours.

Internet Availability in Myrtle Beach, SC

Myrtle Beach residents have several types of wired internet connections available. Their availability depends on the neighborhood in which you live, though, so let’s examine the areas where the providers offer service.

Myrtle Beach residents have three options for fiber internet: HTC, EarthLink, and Frontier. HTC has wider availability in the city, while EarthLink’s and Frontier’s coverage extends across 6.2% and 2.7%, respectively.

Native to South Carolina, HTC features sweeping coverage along the Atlantic Ocean’s coast from North Myrtle Beach to Garden City Beach and inland to Conway. The provider has dead spots in some areas, however, including near Myrtle Beach International Airport and the Oakland Heights neighborhood.

EarthLink’s and Frontier’s coverage areas are both limited and tricky to pinpoint. The latter’s primary coverage areas are along the coast, stretching from Myrtle Heights to 8th Avenue North, toward the city center. Frontier is also available around the Carrie May Johnson area.

Spectrum leads the charge with sweeping cable coverage for Grand Strand residents, covering 88.9% of the city. With wide availability across the shore, Spectrum covers areas outside of HTC’s zone, including the airport’s surrounding neighborhoods. Inland, Spectrum boasts plenty of availability on both sides of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Coverage is lacking in some areas, most notably in Fantasy Harbour and Queen’s Cove.
