Best Internet Providers in Altair, TX

Viasat Internet ranks first in Altair, Texas, offering satellite internet to the entire community. Its reach ensures that all residents have access to the internet. Viasat delivers speeds up to 150 Mbps, suitable for diverse online activities. However, its monthly starting price is $119.99, higher than some local options. Its broad coverage and fast speeds make it a reliable choice for consistent internet across Altair.

EarthLink 5G Home Internet follows as the second-ranked provider. Using 5G technology, it covers 22.20% of Altair and starts at an affordable $39.95 per month. With a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps, it caters to basic internet needs. In Altair, the dominance of satellite connections from Viasat and HughesNet (both with 100% coverage) highlights the scarcity of DSL, cable, and fiber options. This leaves many areas underserved. Providers like EarthLink aim to close this gap with 5G solutions, even though their coverage isn’t yet as extensive as satellite services.
