Internet provider frequently asked questions
What’s the fastest internet provider in Sussex?
Spectrum is the fastest internet provider in Sussex with download speeds up to 300 Mbps. These speeds are available to 100% of households in Sussex. The next fastest internet provider in Sussex is AT&T, offering download speeds up to 75 Mbps to 99% of the area.
What’s the cheapest internet provider in Sussex?
AT&T offers the cheapest internet in Sussex with plans starting at $30/mo. This is significantly less than the average starting price for internet in Sussex, $55.40.
Is cable or DSL better?
Cable internet will nearly always offer faster speeds than DSL, but typically at a higher price point. So if you’re shopping for cheap internet plans, DSL may be your better option but if you want speed, consider cable internet.
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.
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.
Why is my internet slow today?
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.
