There is above-average choice between companies around the San Luis Obispo area, but 12,000 people in the area can't get access to multiple providers.

However, this isn't the norm in San Luis Obispo — the majority of households have 4-5 choices for Internet service.

The packages shown on this page are manually gathered through our research team.

Viasat Internet is the most frequently available provider on the whole. They have Internet coverage reaching practically one hundred percent of San Luis Obispo residents. HughesNet is available to close to near one hundred percent of the population. The top speed recorded for Viasat is 35 Mbps, while HughesNet advertised packages up to 25 Mbps.
