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

Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Northwood at $50/mo. for speeds up to 25 Mbps. Satellite internet is a less appealing option for many Northwood residents, however, as service typically comes with high latency and low data allowances.

Internet provider frequently asked questions
What’s the fastest internet provider in Northwood?
Buckeye Broadband is the fastest internet provider in Northwood with download speeds up to 300 Mbps. These speeds are available to 92% of households in Northwood. The next fastest internet provider in Northwood is Spectrum, offering download speeds up to 100 Mbps to 99% of the area.
What’s the cheapest internet provider in Northwood?
Buckeye Broadband offers the cheapest internet in Northwood with plans starting at $9.99/mo. This is significantly less than the average starting price for internet in Northwood, $37.56.
What’s a good speed for gaming?
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.
Is my internet speed being throttled?
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.
Should I use my own router?
There are benefits to using your own router vs. buying or renting one from your internet provider, such as lower monthly costs and more product options. If you choose to use your own router, keep in mind that your internet provider’s tech support may not be able to fully assist you with your personal router. Select providers may not give you the option to use your own router.
Why aren’t there more internet 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.
