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

Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Bridgeport at $69.99/mo. for speeds up to 150 Mbps.

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.
Speeds of 10 Mbps and higher are good for gaming, but what you really want to consider when choosing an internet service for gaming is latency, or ping. Latency is the measure of how long it takes for your device to communicate with the server and is the main contributor to lag. The higher the ping, the more likely you are to experience lagging. Shoot for an internet service with latency below 100 ms.
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.
