What internet speed do you need in Tennessee?

The internet speed you need depends on the number of devices connected to your home network and the types of internet activities you consistently engage in daily. The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) broadband speed standard of 100 Mbps download speed and 20 Mbps upload speed is a good baseline, though most households need more.

Internet speeds needed for streaming vary depending on what you’re watching. You’ll need at least 5 Mbps for high definition (HD) and up to 25 Mbps for streaming in 4K. When streaming sports, not all games are shot in 4K, so you will only need to dedicate that bandwidth for large events like the Super Bowl.

Internet speeds will vary by provider and location. More rural areas in Tennessee may not have access to faster internet speeds from cable and fiber internet technology. Satellite internet is available to the entire state, but satellite speeds tend to max out around 100 Mbps.

*Plus taxes (w/ eligible Autopay & Paperless bill). Price after discounts: $90/mo discount for new residential customers and $10/mo w/ eligible Autopay & Paperless bill (w/in 2 bills). Monthly State Cost Recovery Charge in TX, OH, NV applies. Updated as of 08/21/25.

Tennessee internet statistics

Though there’s a gap in internet service throughout the state, customers with access enjoy a variety of options at a relatively low price. The top Tennessee ISPs offer plans ranging around $25 to $70/mo. for speeds beyond 100 Mbps. The Tennessee Broadband Accessibility Act is focused on improving service in underserved areas by allowing private and nonprofit cooperatives to offer broadband service. 

Internet availability in Tennessee

All Tennessee residents have access to broadband that offers at least 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds, although available connection types (fiber, cable, fixed wireless, etc.) vary by location.

Like other states, high-speed Tennessee internet plans are easier to find in densely populated areas like Nashville, where market competition also often leads to cheaper rates. Meanwhile, most residents without any broadband access live in rural areas, where the higher cost of satellite internet may prevent people from signing up. In recent years, the Tennessee government has expanded funding for projects that would quickly improve broadband access throughout rural communities.
