Internet coverage for rural areas

If you live in the heart of Shelley, you’ll likely have options from DSL, cable, and fiber-optic internet providers. For those in rural areas or just outside Shelley, however, satellite or fixed wireless internet may be the best internet option.

Satellite internet from HughesNet and Viasat offers 100% availability in Shelley and surrounding areas. HughesNet starting prices are significantly higher than average in Shelley at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Shelley at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 5 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Shelley residents, however, as service typically comes with high latency and low data allowances.

Fixed wireless service is less likely to come with the high latency of satellite internet, but monthly data limits can still be an issue compared to Shelley DSL, cable, and fiber-optic internet providers.

The only broadband internet type that requires a phone line is DSL and dial-up, which use phone lines to deliver service. Other internet types, such as cable, fiber-optic and satellite, require no phone line for broadband service.

Upgrading your internet plan or switching to a new provider that offers faster internet service is the best way to get significantly faster speeds, but that will likely also come with a price increase. To get faster internet without changing your plan or provider, upgrade your internet equipment or reduce the number of devices connected to your network.

If you suspect your slow speeds are the result of your internet provider throttling your connection, the easiest way to determine if you’re being throttled is to perform two speed tests. Run the first test on your regular network, then run the second one on a VPN. If the two speeds are drastically different (and the VPN test was higher), your internet provider may be throttling your speeds.
