Best Internet Providers in Albany, KY

Living in Albany, Kentucky, and looking for a reliable internet service provider? Windstream might just be your best bet. With a commendable coverage of 57% of the city, it's no surprise Windstream ranks as Albany's top internet provider. Windstream offers DSL and fiber connection types and boasts an impressive maximum download speed of up to 1 Gbps. Take advantage of high-speed connectivity starting from $39.99 per month -- a fair trade for both speed and price.

Yet, let's not forget about Viasat Internet and Hughesnet for those residing outside of Windstream's coverage area. Both satellite providers offer full 100% coverage of Albany and offer plans starting at just $49.99 per month. Despite a slower max download speed of 30 Mbps for Viasat and 25 Mbps for Hughesnet compared to Windstream, both providers hold their ground as sturdy options thanks to their citywide accessibility.

Here's the bottom line: 57% of Albany homes have access to DSL, 8% can opt for fiber, 23% can go for fixed wireless and 60% can choose cable. But if none of the above works, satellite service is available across the city, a significant 100% coverage. In short, Windstream, Viasat, and Hughesnet together ensure no corner of Albany is left disconnected.
