Best Internet Providers in Big Sandy, WV

In Big Sandy, West Virginia, Viasat Internet covers 100% of the community with satellite service, offering download speeds up to 150 Mbps. Despite a starting price of $119.99 per month, its extensive coverage and speed make it a reliable choice for consistent connectivity, especially in this rural area.

Hughesnet and Starlink also provide strong alternatives. Hughesnet covers the entire community via satellite with maximum download speeds of 100 Mbps. It starts at $49.99 per month, making it a more budget-friendly option. Starlink offers the fastest speeds at 220 Mbps and also covers 100% of the area. However, its starting price, comparable to Viasat at $120 per month, may not appeal to those seeking lower costs.

Fiber and fixed wireless options are unavailable, and DSL covers only a minimal area. Thus, the satellite offerings from these providers effectively bridge the connectivity gap, ensuring reliable internet access even in underserved parts of Big Sandy.
