There are basically two network types for Waubay residents: fiber or cable. Fiber infrastructure is commonly used to replace aging DSL networks, since replacing DSL lines with fiber-optic is commonly more affordable than the alternative of maintaining outdated copper DSL lines. Costs aside, fiber also allows significantly stronger speed range. Fiber has advertised speeds up to 250 Mbps in Waubay, while DSL tends to cap out under 100 Mbps.
Keep in mind, since FCC coverage data is only processed twice annually and only released 6+ months after, availability listed might not reflect the most recent network expansions or regional changes.

HughesNet, in contrast, is available to close to practically one hundred percent of local residents. The fastest download speed recorded for Viasat is up to 35 Mbps. HughesNet offers packages up to 25 Mbps. In general, anything above 10 megabits per second is enough to stream SD videos to devices on WiFi, but may become an issue for large households or high-bandwidth services like Google Hangouts and multiplayer gaming.
