Internet Access in Traverse City, Michigan

4 Internet providers can provide service to the average Traverse City address. In context, this is actually a good amount of choice compared with other communities. Robust competition between several broadband providers in a city often results in lower pricing.

The packages shown above are collected by hand by our data science division.

As is expected for cities with Traverse City's relatively low level of telecom competitiveness, the average speeds recorded within city limits fall short of the state average. The current average download speed for Traverse City over the past twelve months is 81.17 Mbps.

Coverage from the biggest companies, Viasat Internet and HughesNet, generally, will overlap. As a result, the choice between Viasat and HughesNet is a common one.

Besides the Internet options detailed above, Spectrum provides a third option for Internet in 99 percent of Traverse City. Fixed wireless providers such as Cherry Capital Connection are also worth looking at, but the incumbent wired providers are usually a better value so far as performance.
