Best Internet Providers in Kansas City, MO

The best internet companies in Kansas City are Google Fiber and AT&T Fiber. Kansas City residents are blessed with some excellent high-speed internet options, and these two fiber providers are the cream of the crop.

Google Fiber is a homegrown option: The KC metro area was where Google chose to start building its network when it was first entering the ISP business in 2012. Google Fiber’s network has grown to plenty of other cities since then, but it’s still a local favorite. Its network offers speeds up to 8 Gbps, and its prices start at $70 per month.

Google Fiber has some competition in town, however. AT&T Fiber offers speeds up to a mind-boggling 5 Gbps, and the company has a solid reputation for customer satisfaction. Prices for internet-only plans from AT&T Fiber start at $55 per month and go as high as $245 per month, depending on how much speed you want to pay for.

If fiber isn’t available in your area or if you simply want another option, your next-best bet will be one of the Kansas City area’s cable internet providers. The top dog in town is Spectrum, which serves 89.2% of Kansas City. Spectrum offers internet-only plans that start at $50 per month. You can also bundle your Spectrum Internet service with other Spectrum products, such as Spectrum TV and Spectrum Mobile. Prices for those Spectrum Internet bundles start $90 at per month.

There’s also Xfinity, which serves 24.3% of the area. Its speeds can reach 1 Gbps, and it offers internet-only plans from $30 per month. Like Spectrum, Xfinity offers bundles. For prices starting at $55 per month, you can combine your internet plan with other Xfinity products, like Xfinity Voice, Xfinity Mobile, and Xfinity Home Security — as well as TV, of course.

Be sure to look out for deals as you shop for internet in Kansas City. For example, AT&T Fiber is offering prepaid VISA rewards cards as a bonus for signing up for certain plans. The Internet 1000 plan could get you a card worth $150, if you qualify.

Fastest Internet Providers in Kansas City, MO

AT&T is the fastest provider in Kansas City, with speeds up to 5 Gbps.

Kansas City has a few very fast internet service companies. You’ll benefit most from high speed internet when you’re on a fiber connection, since fiber-optic networks are the best at offering high upload speeds (to match those lightning-fast download speeds) and at handling high-traffic hours when the whole neighborhood is taking video calls or streaming Netflix at the same time. Kansas City’s fiber providers put up big speed numbers: AT&T Fiber can reach speeds up to 5 Gbps, while Google Fiber can get up to 8 Gbps.

Of course, the cable providers are no slouches, either. Spectrum offers speeds up to 1 Gbps, and Xfinity has speeds up to 1 Gbps.

Internet Availability in Kansas City, MO

In Kansas City, your first choice for high-speed internet should be a fiber provider like Google Fiber or AT&T Fiber. But can you get a plan from these providers?

The good news for Kansas City residents is that most areas of the city are covered by one of these two fiber networks. The more widely available of the two is Google Fiber, which covers 66.4% of Kansas City. Only a few areas are missing from Google Fiber’s KC footprint. You’ll find the biggest gap in availability down near where Interstate 49 meets 470: Sechrest, Hidden Valley, and Oakwood (near the country club) are relatively underserved by Google Fiber. But just about everywhere else, you have a great chance at being able to sign up for a Google Fiber plan.

As for AT&T Fiber, you’ll find it on a handful of city blocks in and around Kansas City’s downtown. Look for it in the Garment District, Quality Hill, and the Power and Light District. You can also expect to see AT&T Fiber as an option in many parts of Midtown, in places like Hyde Park (particularly Central Hyde Park and South Hyde Park) and Westport. You’ll also find it right across the state line in Kansas City, Kansas’ Westwood Hills area.

As for cable providers, that’s a question of Spectrum versus Xfinity. Don’t expect to get to make the choice — very few neighborhoods have both Spectrum and Xfinity, and almost no individual addresses get to choose between the two. Instead, expect it to be a question of availability. Depending on your area of Kansas City, you’ll have either Spectrum or Xfinity as an option — but (probably) not both.The divide is mostly East-West. Spectrum has the Western side and the lion’s share; you’ll find it in almost all of Kansas City proper, as well as across the state line in Kansas. Xfinity’s share of real estate mostly covers the Missouri suburbs of Kansas City, including Independence and Raytown.
