Allconnect's choice for the best internet provider in Brookings is T-Mobile, with their fixed wireless plans covering 100% of the city. T-Mobile internet plans start at $50 with speeds up to 245 Mbps.

Most internet service providers offer cheap internet plans between $20-$30, for the lowest tier of speed, usually up to 75-100 Mbps. These plans are fast enough for light use in a small household.
Ziply Fiber has the cheapest internet plans in Brookings, starting at 100 Mbps for $10/mo.
EarthLink also has an affordable internet plan offering 9 Mbps for $49.95/mo.
