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

HughesNet starting prices are about average in Kansas City at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are higher than average in Kansas City at $69.99/mo. for speeds up to 150 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Kansas City residents, however, as service typically comes with high latency and low data allowances.

Those living in or just outside of Kansas City 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 Kansas City fiber-optic, cable, and DSL internet providers.

Available providers vary by address, but your location is likely serviceable for cable and DSL internet. Fiber internet may also be an internet option, but this technology is typically found in larger cities. Those living in rural areas not serviceable for cable, DSL or fiber internet may find satellite or fixed wireless internet to be their only options.
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.
Yes. Fiber-optic internet is a completely different technology than DSL or cable internet, and therefore requires a different type of modem. In many cases, you can get the required modem from your internet provider at no extra cost.
