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

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

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.
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.
Learn the penalty, if any, of canceling service with your current provider. Find other internet providers in your area and compare plans and pricing. Choose the internet provider and plan that best meets your needs. Order your new services and get your installation/activation date. Call your current internet provider and cancel service by the activation date of your new service.
