Best Internet Providers in Mitchell, SD

In Mitchell, South Dakota, Viasat Internet stands out as the primary provider. Using a satellite connection, Viasat ensures 100% citywide coverage. Its plans offer a maximum download speed of 12 Mbps, starting at $69.99 per month. This broad reach makes Viasat dependable, particularly in areas with unreliable or unavailable other connections. However, the lower maximum speed may not meet high bandwidth needs.

Hughesnet also covers Mitchell entirely with its satellite connection. Hughesnet plans feature a higher maximum download speed of 100 Mbps and a more affordable starting price of $49.99 per month. This mix of widespread coverage, faster speeds, and lower cost makes Hughesnet an appealing option for residents seeking both reliability and better performance.

Verizon provides 5G internet with a maximum download speed of 50 Mbps at $50 per month, but its coverage reaches only 20.50% of Mitchell. This limited availability makes it a less viable choice compared to the satellite providers. Given the factors, Hughesnet may offer better value and speed for those seeking more affordable and faster internet options.
