If you live in the heart of Gibraltar, you’ll likely have options from cable and DSL internet providers. For those in rural areas or just outside Gibraltar, however, satellite or fixed wireless internet may be the best internet option.
Satellite internet from HughesNet and Viasat offers 100% availability in Gibraltar and surrounding areas. HughesNet starting prices are significantly higher than average in Gibraltar at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Gibraltar at $69.99/mo. for speeds up to 150 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Gibraltar residents, however, as service typically comes with high latency and low data allowances.
AT&T is the fastest internet provider in Gibraltar with download speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. These speeds are available to 87% of households in Gibraltar. The next fastest internet provider in Gibraltar is Xfinity, offering download speeds up to 3,000 Mbps to 100% of the area.
Xfinity offers the cheapest internet in Gibraltar with plans starting at $29.99/mo. This is significantly less than the average starting price for internet in Gibraltar, $49.99.
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.
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.
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.
