The data on this page is primarily sourced from FCC coverage reports, and is validated using private data sources and direct provider reporting to create more useful results than can be accessed through the FCC directly. Lit address data is currently only available for select Internet providers. Speed and pricing data is generated by our data analysis experts, who collect tens of thousands of data points each year.
Considering network technology available around Huntsville, we see that the most common wired broadband Internet tech options are IPBB and Fiber (79.31 percent coverage) and Cable (81.96 percent coverage). Traditional cable TV providers are the main source for cable Internet, seeing as they can utilize their pre-existing coaxial TV wires — which already connect to most homes — to connect customers to Internet service. Cable can often make sense for Huntsville residents due to the strong mix of speed and value.
So far as coverage options, the average Huntsville home has 5-6 companies at their address, or exactly 5.77 Internet providers per census block. Only 4.73 percent of Huntsville residents have one or fewer options for Internet.

HughesNet, in contrast, is available for close to one hundred percent of the population. The fastest speed recorded for Viasat is 35 Mbps, while HughesNet advertised packages up to 25 Mbps.
