Options that work statewide
Satellite
Starlink
Low-earth-orbit satellite. Latency is low enough for video calls and most gaming, unlike older satellite services.
Best for Anywhere with a clear view of the sky and no wired option Watch out Hardware costs money up front, and heavy tree cover or a north-facing obstruction will cost you throughput See Starlink
5G home internet
T-Mobile Home Internet
Home internet over T-Mobile’s cellular network. A gateway box you plug in yourself; no truck roll, no dish.
Best for Rural addresses that still get a usable T-Mobile signal, often near a highway or a town Watch out Availability is decided address by address, not by town. Speed varies with how busy the local tower is. See T-Mobile Home Internet
5G home internet
Verizon Home Internet
The same idea on Verizon’s network, offered as 5G Home or LTE Home depending on what reaches your address.
Best for Addresses with Verizon coverage where T-Mobile is weak Watch out LTE Home and 5G Home behave very differently. Confirm which one your address actually qualifies for. See Verizon Home Internet
Fixed wireless
A local fixed-wireless provider
A regional operator beaming service from a tower or ridge to an antenna on your roof. In much of rural America this is the fastest thing available.
Best for Counties where the FCC data shows large licensed fixed-wireless coverage, which this page tells you Watch out Needs line of sight. Quality varies enormously between operators; ask neighbours, not the sales page. Sources Page last updated 2026-09-01. The date moves when the underlying data moves, not when the site is rebuilt.
