Best Internet Providers in Polk, MO

In Polk, Missouri, Windstream emerges as the top internet service provider, offering DSL and fixed wireless connections. With up to 200 Mbps download speed and a coverage stretching across 46% of the town, Windstream's plans begin at an affordable $39.99 per month. It's an excellent choice for those needing high-speed internet for activities like video conferencing or HD streaming.

However, DSL and fixed wireless are only available to less than half of Polk's population. Thankfully, satellite connection fills this gap, providing complete coverage for the rest of the area. Polk relies on two main satellite providers: Viasat Internet and Hughesnet.

Viasat Internet provides full coverage to the region, with plans starting at $49.99 a month for a max download speed of 30 Mbps. Hughesnet, offering the same geographical coverage, provides slightly slower speeds at 25 Mbps for the same starting price. Some may view satellite connection speeds as slower, however, for our rural community, the broad and consistent coverage is a reliable internet solution. In Polk, MO, Viasat and Hughesnet ensure everyone has access to internet services, no matter where they live.
