If you live in the heart of Marion, you’ll likely have options from cable, DSL, and fiber-optic internet providers. For those in rural areas or just outside Marion, however, satellite or fixed wireless internet may be the best internet option.
Satellite internet from HughesNet and Viasat offers 100% availability in Marion and surrounding areas. HughesNet starting prices are higher than average in Marion at $49.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are higher than average in Marion at $50/mo. for speeds up to 12 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Marion 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 Marion may have access to fixed wireless internet service from HughesNet, with plans starting at $49.99 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 Marion cable, DSL, and fiber-optic internet providers.
Mediacom is the fastest internet provider in Marion with download speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. These speeds are available to 98% of households in Marion. The next fastest internet provider in Marion is Futiva , offering download speeds up to 250 Mbps to 15% of the area.

Wi-Fi extenders are handy when your router can’t project a strong signal to everywhere in your home that you need it. Your internet provider may offer Wi-Fi extenders for an added monthly cost, or you can purchase one online or from most electronics retailers.
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%.
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.
