If you live in the heart of St. Louis, you’ll likely have options from cable, DSL, and fiber-optic internet providers. For those in rural areas or just outside St. Louis, however, satellite or fixed wireless internet may be the best internet option.
Satellite internet from HughesNet and Viasat offers 100% availability in St. Louis and surrounding areas. HughesNet starting prices are about average in St. Louis at $64.99/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Viasat starting prices are higher than average in St. Louis at $69.99/mo. for speeds up to 150 Mbps.

Fixed wireless is another popular internet option for those in rural areas. Those living in or just outside of St. Louis 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 St. Louis cable, DSL, and fiber-optic internet providers.

AT&T is the largest fiber-optic internet service provider in St. Louis, covering 24% of the city.
Fiber internet providers are likely to offer the fastest, most consistent speeds for the money. Cable internet providers can also deliver fast speeds, up to 100 Mbps and higher, but are more vulnerable to slowed speeds during peak usage times. If you’re shopping for cheap internet, a DSL provider may be the best option for your household.
Downgrading services or cutting extras, such as Wi-Fi extenders or premium tech support, can lower your monthly internet bill. You can also try to negotiate with your internet provider for a lower rate. Switching internet providers and bundling internet with other services is another common way to lower internet costs.
Upgrading your internet plan or switching to a new provider that offers faster internet service is the best way to get significantly faster speeds, but that will likely also come with a price increase. To get faster internet without changing your plan or provider, upgrade your internet equipment or reduce the number of devices connected to your network.
