Taking a look at network tech available across Penasco, the most common wired broadband Internet technology infrastructures are DSL (72.21 percent coverage) and Satellite (practically one hundred percent coverage). Telephone providers usually offer DSL Internet service, which makes technical sense because DSL transmits data packets over phone wires. Compared to other copper-based networks, the twisted and bundled copper construction seen in telephone lines allows for lower performance than cable and significantly less than fiber.
CenturyLink is a common alternative to the primary providers (Viasat and HughesNet). They offer a maximum speed of 7 Mbps. Wired broadband isn't actually the only choice for Internet service for residents of Penasco. For example, fixed wireless providers like Choice Broadband are able to reach 9 Mbps using wireless hardware.
Viasat Internet is the most widespread Internet option overall, registered with coverage in practically one hundred percent of the area. HughesNet has registered coverage for around close to one hundred percent of residents. The fastest speed advertised for Viasat is 35 Mbps. HughesNet advertised as high as 25 Mbps. As a rule of thumb, any speed over 10 megabits per second (Mbps) will be enough for streaming lower-quality videos to devices on WiFi, but may become problematic when multiple people try to use high-bandwidth services such as video chat and multiplayer gaming.
