Best Internet Providers in Ottawa, IL

Mediacom and Surf Internet are the top internet providers in Ottawa. The best choice for residents is Mediacom since it serves nearly all of the city, and its cable network offers download speeds in the gigabits. Its internet service can also come as part of a TV or home phone package.

Surf Internet is the next-best internet option for Ottawa residents. Unlike Mediacom, it operates on a fiber network with gigabit speeds, which are symmetrical. If you live within its service area and want fast speeds, Surf Internet is the way to go.
