If you live in the heart of Arlington Heights, you’ll likely have options from DSL, cable, and fiber-optic internet providers. For those in rural areas or just outside Arlington Heights, however, satellite or fixed wireless internet may be the best internet option.
Satellite internet from HughesNet and Viasat offers 100% availability in Arlington Heights and surrounding areas. HughesNet starting prices are significantly higher than average in Arlington Heights at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Arlington Heights at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Arlington Heights residents, however, as service typically comes with high latency and low data allowances.
Fixed wireless is another popular internet option for those in rural areas. Those living in or just outside of Arlington Heights may have access to fixed wireless internet service from HughesNet, with plans starting at $64.99 and available download speeds up to 25 Mbps. 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 Arlington Heights DSL, cable, and fiber-optic internet providers.
AT&T is the fastest internet provider in Arlington Heights with download speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. These speeds are available to 7.128% of households in Arlington Heights. The next fastest internet provider in Arlington Heights is Xfinity, offering download speeds up to 987 Mbps to 95% of the area.
WOW! offers the cheapest internet in Arlington Heights with plans starting at $19.99/mo. This is significantly less than the average starting price for internet in Arlington Heights, $43.33.
AT&T is the largest fiber-optic internet service provider in Arlington Heights, covering 7.128% of the city.
Fiber and cable internet are similar internet service types, but fiber offers a few advantages over cable. Fiber internet can deliver faster upload and download speeds than cable in most areas, and is less vulnerable to slowed speeds during peak usage times. Cable does have the advantage over fiber in terms of availability, covering 89% of U.S. households compared to fiber’s 38%.
No matter where you live, your address is likely serviceable for satellite internet from providers such as HughesNet and Viasat. You will probably also have the option of at least one cable provider, such as Cox, Spectrum and Xfinity, and DSL providers such as Frontier and Verizon. Roughly a third of households will be eligible for fiber internet from AT&T, CenturyLink, Windstream or other providers.
According to the FCC, 93% of households have access to three or more providers. In many areas, a cable, DSL, satellite and possibly fiber-optic provider may be available. You are unlikely, however, to find multiple providers of the same internet type, such as two cable providers, in the same location because operating expenses in an area already served by another provider can be too high to be profitable.
