Best Internet Providers in Foster, WV

In Foster, West Virginia, Optimum offers cable internet to about 40.70% of the community, delivering speeds up to 940 Mbps. With prices starting at $40 per month, it offers high-speed internet at a reasonable cost. However, limited coverage means not all residents can enjoy this service. This might be a drawback for activities like streaming, remote work, or online gaming.

Viasat Internet provides 100% coverage in Foster with its satellite connections. Despite universal availability, its speeds peak at 150 Mbps, well below Optimum's offerings. Starting prices at $119.99 per month make it a more expensive option. While Viasat ensures everyone can connect, its value diminishes when compared to Optimum’s speed and cost.
