Viasat Internet offers 100% coverage in Ralph, South Dakota, through its satellite connection. With download speeds up to 12 Mbps and a starting price of $69.99 per month, Viasat ensures every resident has internet access. Though it's not the fastest, its full coverage makes it reliable for those prioritizing availability.

Hughesnet also provides complete coverage with its satellite service. It offers higher speeds, reaching 100 Mbps, at a lower starting price of $49.99 per month. This makes Hughesnet a great choice for those needing faster internet.

Consolidated Telcom delivers fiber internet with impressive speeds up to 1 Gbps. Like the satellite providers, it also covers all of Ralph but stands out with a competitive starting price of $39.99 per month.

All three providers cover the entire area, but Ralph lacks options for DSL, fixed wireless, or fiber beyond Consolidated Telcom's offering. This gap indicates some areas might be underserved due to the limited connection types. Viasat and Hughesnet help bridge this by ensuring even remote areas stay connected. While Ralph enjoys extensive satellite coverage, further expansion of fiber connections could enhance the community's internet experience.
