Best Internet Provider In Athens, TX

In Athens, Texas, Optimum is a top-notch choice for internet service. This provider covers almost half the city - 46% to be precise. Its high-speed cable connection, offering a stunning 940 Mbps, leaves all competitors in the dust. And starting at just $40 per month, Optimum brings lightning-fast internet to residents without burning a hole in their pockets.

But don't overlook Viasat Internet. While its maximum download speed of 30 Mbps may not compete with Optimum's turbo-charged offering, its total coverage does. Delivering 100% access, every resident in Athens can tap into Viasat's satellite internet service. Yes, the starting monthly price is a touch steeper at $49.99, but the universality of the service makes it an appealing choice.

So, for the people of Athens, the internet is primarily a story of satellite and cable. They respectively cover 100% and 46% of the territory. DSL, fiber, and fixed wireless fill in the gaps to a lesser extent – their availability hovers only at 11%, 1%, and 28%. Against this backdrop, Optimum and Viasat clearly reign supreme for their expansive coverage and good value plans.
