Information on BroadbandNow is calculated based on the FCC's bi-annual coverage reports. BroadbandNow also uses direct provider coverage reports and other private datasets to enhance that information. Plan and pricing information is collected through our data science team. Locally, we've aggregated 386 broadband plans in Galion since 2014. Speed test data in the graph below is limited to 1,889 records as of 2021. This gives a snapshot of what some subscribers are getting in the area, but trends low since tests are usually run to diagnose home networking issues.
When considering the network technology options in Galion, you essentially see two choices: cable and DSL (think Frontier Communications).
Most Galion homes have 2-3 Internet providers to choose from. Competition is good. It means most residents have at least two providers competing so far as pricing and service reliability. This high level of competition isn't distributed evenly, however. A surprising 12.87 of the local population still has only one or fewer choices for broadband service.
Viasat Internet and HughesNet are Galion's most common wired broadband options.
Besides the Internet options listed above, Spectrum is a third option for coverage in 93 percent of Galion. Wireless choices are commonly available. However, the hardwired providers listed here virtually always offer stronger pricing. As detailed in the map below, the vast majority of residents have access to wired Internet.

Data Caps and Cord Cutting in Galion
Data collected by our research team shows that top providers in the area use data caps for their residential broadband plans. Data caps are disliked since users view them as a tactic to limit video streaming, while providers insist that caps are a necessary strategy as they struggle to manage network congestion. In either case, the culprit is streaming video, which easily uses anywhere from 1–7GB per hour.
