Best Internet Providers in Houghton, MI

Spectrum is among the best internet service providers in Houghton. Its cable network delivers download speeds up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary) and can come packaged with phone or TV services, depending on your plan. Those bundles start at only $49.99 per month for 12 months. Spectrum also stands out for having 77.9 percent coverage in Houghton.

Suitable alternative options will depend on whether you want to prioritize connection type or availability. For example, AT&T has a respectable 2 percent accessibility in the city, but its IPBB connection means it only provides download speeds up to 18 Mbps.
