The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedCox Communications is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 70% of the city. If AT&T fiber reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 22% of the city.
Local coverage changes noticeably: in Shadow Valley, AT&T leads with fiber reaching about 38% of the ZIP, while Cox follows at about 34%, so that neighborhood has an unusually strong fiber option. In ZIP 72713, Cox is the leading choice at about 30%, with AT&T fiber reaching about 21% and Right Fiber reaching about 10%, making fiber more address-dependent there. Scotsdale and Seven Hills shoppers should be especially careful about old DSL or copper lines, since the fastest service can change from one street or apartment building to the next. For students at Northwest Arkansas Community College, reliable upload capacity matters for Zoom, streaming, and gaming, so fiber is worth checking before settling for slower service. T-Mobile and Verizon are worth a look as fixed-wireless alternatives, particularly where wired options disappoint. Confirm the exact address before ordering, because FCC coverage can change at the neighborhood, building, and street level.

The 400 Mbps Rely plan starts at $35 per month, while the 500 Mbps plans offer more download capacity, but all are fixed wireless and require a qualifying bundle. Address availability matters because these plans reach about 39% of the city, and fixed wireless performance can vary compared with wired service.

About T-Mobile

How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
