Information on this page is calculated from the FCC's bi-annual provider territory filings. BroadbandNow also uses direct provider reports and other private data to validate the information on a census block or lit address level. Pricing and plan information on BroadbandNow is collected through our data science team. BroadbandNow has analyzed and verified 192 bundled broadband plans in Riverside since 2014. Speed test data in the graph below is limited to 5 records as of 2022. This gives a snapshot of what some subscribers are getting in the area, but trends low since tests are usually run to diagnose home networking issues.
HughesNet is a common second choice to the primary providers, serving Riverside with a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps.
Taking a look at network tech offered Riverside, we see that the most widespread hardwired broadband technology infrastructures are DSL (close to one hundred percent coverage) and 5G Internet (54.64 percent coverage). Phone providers are the main source for DSL connections, since DSL sends data packets over telephone wires. As copper wires go, the twisted copper bundle construction of telephone wires allows for slightly less bandwidth compared to cable and several times less than fiber.
CenturyLink has the widest availability for Riverside residents. The provider is available to close to one hundred percent of Riverside. Viasat Internet is also a common option, with coverage in virtually one hundred percent of the area with predominantly Satellite service. Viasat's strongest package in Riverside is 100 megabits per second.
On the whole, choice between ISPs in Riverside isn't high (2.93 companies registered in the average census block). 2 companies per resident isn't much, but it's enough to drive competition on price that benefits consumer living in well-wired parts of the city.
