Best Internet Providers in Columbia, AL
In Columbia, Alabama, residents seeking internet service might consider Brightspeed if available. Brightspeed covers 59.10% of the town and offers DSL with maximum download speeds of 40 Mbps. Though not the fastest, the initial price of $50 per month makes it a budget-friendly choice for many households. Given the limited availability of DSL, Brightspeed’s coverage and pricing could appeal to those within its reach.
For a more extensive coverage option, Viasat Internet provides a satellite connection covering 100% of Columbia. Viasat offers a robust maximum download speed of 150 Mbps, but it comes at a steeper starting price of $149.99 per month. Residents needing faster speeds or living outside Brightspeed's service area might find Viasat a viable choice, despite the higher cost. Overall, satellite service dominates Columbia’s internet landscape, with other types like fiber and fixed wireless currently unavailable.
