Best Internet Providers in Lake Preston, SD

CenturyLink offers Lake Preston, South Dakota, a DSL connection with speeds up to 60 Mbps and a starting price of $55 per month. However, it only covers 53.30% of the city, making it accessible to just over half of the residents. This plan suits those seeking a balance between cost and speed, especially in available DSL areas.

Viasat Internet ensures 100% coverage with its satellite connection across the entire city. It provides a maximum download speed of 12 Mbps, starting at $69.99 per month. This service is ideal for residents without wired infrastructure.

Hughesnet also delivers complete coverage with its satellite internet. It offers a higher speed of 100 Mbps and a more affordable starting price of $49.99 per month. While satellite internet options like Viasat and Hughesnet guarantee city-wide availability, they often come with higher latency, fitting best for basic internet needs rather than high-speed data activities.

In Lake Preston, satellite providers Viasat and Hughesnet ensure widespread access, while CenturyLink remains a cost-effective choice where DSL is available.
