Best Internet Providers in Onalaska, WA

Viasat offers a satellite connection with 100% coverage and maximum download speeds of 150 Mbps, the fastest available in the area. It starts at $99.99 per month, which is higher than its competitors. HughesNet also provides full satellite coverage but with a max speed of 100 Mbps and a lower starting price of $49.99 per month. Always ON has a fixed wireless service covering 38.70% of the area, offering speeds up to 25 Mbps, starting at $60 per month.

In Onalaska, satellite options from Viasat and HughesNet ensure that the entire community has internet access. Fixed wireless covers 60% of residents, leaving some areas without service. DSL is available to 92% of the population, cable to just 2%, and there's no fiber optics coverage. Always ON aims to extend its fixed wireless footprint, but its current reach and speeds fall short of satellite providers. This uneven distribution underscores the need for further expansion, especially in fixed wireless and other high-speed options, to ensure balanced internet service across Onalaska.
