Ranked by the share of locations with no fixed service at 25/3 Mbps or better.
Median of real speed tests run on each network during 2024, from M-Lab. This is measured performance, not an advertised plan speed, and not a customer review. The middle-half column shows how consistent a network is: a wide spread means your experience depends heavily on where and when.

Latency is the number that decides whether video calls and gaming feel right, and it is where satellite differs most from everything else. Measured data is statewide: below county level there are usually too few tests to report an honest number.

Low-earth-orbit satellite. Latency is low enough for video calls and most gaming, unlike older satellite services.
