Every provider in Lonoke
Ordered by our score, which weighs technology, speed, symmetry, the real two-year cost and the terms. How we rank.
Built from CenturyLink's former Southeast copper territory and converting it to fiber. Cheap gigabit in mid-size towns that had DSL only.
Low-earth-orbit satellite. The only satellite service with latency low enough for video calls, and it works essentially anywhere with sky.
A reseller rather than a network owner: it buys capacity on other carriers' lines and sells it with no data caps and no throttling.
The other geostationary satellite option. Cheaper than Viasat at the entry tier, with the same latency limits.
Geostationary satellite covering the whole country. Latency makes it a last resort, but it reaches addresses nothing else does.
Coverage is recorded by city, not by street address, and availability in the US changes block by block. Confirm with the provider before you plan around any of this.
