There is above-average competition between providers within Redfield, but 500 people in the area don't have access to multiple providers. The consequence of this is that if they aren't satisfied by their service from the incumbent provider, they have to compromise for a low-speed wireless option. However, this isn't the norm in Redfield — the majority of households have 3-4 Internet options.
Aside from the Internet providers listed above, CenturyLink is a third option for coverage in 90 percent of Redfield. Fixed wireless providers like Northern Valley Communications are worth looking at, but the main wired providers are usually a better deal so far as performance.

Data Caps and Cord Cutting in Redfield
Data collected by our research team shows that some of the top ISPs in the area currently use data caps on residential Internet plans. Data caps are disliked because consumers see caps as a tactic for limiting streaming, while providers explain that they are a reasonable strategy as they struggle to manage network traffic.
