Best Internet Providers in Baxter, IA

Verizon shines as Baxter, Iowa's top internet service provider. Leveraging 5G technology, Verizon offers speeds up to 50 Mbps, suitable for browsing and streaming. With 88.20% coverage, most residents can access Verizon’s reliable and affordable plans, starting at $50 per month.

In contrast, Viasat Internet provides 100% coverage, ensuring all residents have access. As a satellite provider, Viasat delivers speeds up to 150 Mbps—three times faster than Verizon. However, Viasat’s plans start at $99.99 per month, making it a pricier choice. For those needing higher speeds and complete coverage, Viasat remains a strong contender.
