Internet coverage for rural areas

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

Viasat starting prices are significantly higher than average in Hayward at $69.99/mo. for speeds up to 150 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 Hayward cable and DSL internet providers.

Internet provider frequently asked questions

Spectrum is the fastest internet provider in Hayward with download speeds up to 1,000 Mbps*. These speeds are available to 100% of households in Hayward. The next fastest internet provider in Hayward is CenturyLink, offering download speeds up to 940 Mbps to 87% of the area.

Northern Telephone and Data offers the cheapest internet in Hayward with plans starting at $29.95/mo. This is significantly less than the average starting price for internet in Hayward, $57.49.

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.

There are many factors that can influence internet speed. In many cases, restarting your router will resolve speed and connectivity issues. Other factors, such as peak usage times and speed throttling can also cause temporary speed issues.

No matter where you live, your address is likely serviceable for satellite internet from providers such as HughesNet and Viasat. You will probably also have the option of at least one cable provider, such as Cox, Spectrum and Xfinity, and DSL providers such as Frontier and Verizon. Roughly a third of households will be eligible for fiber internet from AT&T, CenturyLink, Windstream or other providers.

Select internet providers including AT&T, Spectrum and Xfinity have thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots that customers can connect to at no extra cost. If your internet provider does not offer free Wi-Fi hotspots, you can find free public Wi-Fi at your local library or many restaurants and cafes. Consider these tips for using public Wi-Fi safely.
