Best Internet Providers in St. Francis, SD

In Saint Francis, South Dakota, Viasat Internet ranks as the top service provider with its satellite internet covering the entire town. Despite this, Viasat offers a maximum download speed of just 12 Mbps, which may not suffice for heavy internet users. Their plans start at $69.99 per month, making it an expensive option considering its speed. Nonetheless, Viasat’s full coverage ensures that all residents can rely on consistent connectivity, especially in areas lacking other connection types.

Hughesnet holds the second spot in Saint Francis and also provides 100% coverage through a satellite connection. It stands out with a higher maximum download speed of 100 Mbps and a more affordable starting price of $49.99 per month. These factors make Hughesnet a more attractive option for those seeking faster internet. The universal satellite coverage from both Viasat and Hughesnet fills the gap left by the lower coverage of DSL, cable, and fiber connections in the town.
