Best Internet Providers in Columbus, AR

In Columbus, Arkansas, Viasat Internet stands out as a top choice for internet service. It provides a satellite connection with download speeds up to 150 Mbps, covering the entire hamlet. At a starting price of $99.99 per month, Viasat offers both extensive coverage and decent speed. With cable, DSL, and fiber not offering 100% coverage, Viasat’s universal availability and strong performance make it a prime option in Columbus.

Hughesnet and Starlink also offer solid alternatives. Hughesnet, another satellite provider, covers 99% of Columbus with download speeds up to 100 Mbps, starting at $49.99 per month. This makes it an affordable and nearly all-encompassing option. Starlink boasts the highest download speed at 220 Mbps and also ensures 100% coverage. However, its starting price of $120 per month might be a concern for budget-conscious users. With all three providers offering satellite connections and fiber options unavailable, residents of Columbus can still enjoy full coverage.
