Best Internet Providers in Washington, WV

In the town of Washington, West Virginia, Optimum claims the spot as the premier internet provider. Offering a cable connection with a phenomenal max download speed of 940 Mbps, Optimum reaches 51% of the Washington area. It serves a hefty number of homes and businesses. The starting plan is a steal at $40 a month, especially given the speed users can reach.

The people of Washington aren't limited to Optimum though; they enjoy full coverage from Viasat Internet and Hughesnet, both satellite providers. Viasat Internet, the runner-up, offers a maximum download speed of 30 Mbps for a beginner plan of $49.99 per month. Hughesnet, landing third, offers similar rates starting at $49.99 a month but with a slightly lower max download speed of 25 Mbps. The advantage of satellite connections, like those provided by Viasat and Hughesnet, is their utility in areas where other connection types are sparse. Cable and fixed wireless connections are options in Washington, but they don't reach everyone, with their coverage capping at 75% and 21% of the community respectively.
