Find internet providers in Lawrence, KS
Find internet offered in Lawrence, KS – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Lawrence, KS, your best bet is AT&T, covering ~67% of the city, with its fastest filed fiber speeds up to 5,000 Mbps, available across ~32% of the city. That makes AT&T especially compelling where its fiber is present, though the exact address still matters. The neighborhood picture backs that up: AT&T fiber reaches 52.0% of 66044, including Old West Lawrence, and 65.7% of 66046, Prairie Park, while Midco cable is the main alternative there at 23.9% and 14.3%, respectively. In 66047, Alvamar, AT&T still leads at 45.8%, but Mercury Broadband is unusually strong at 24.0%, and 66049 shows another AT&T lead at 58.3%. East Lawrence and student apartments near the University of Kansas or Haskell Indian Nations University can have a different service mix, so check whether the address has fiber or older copper infrastructure before counting on it for Zoom, streaming, or gaming. Mercury Broadband is a practical fixed-wireless alternative, reaching ~63% of the city with speeds up to 150/20 Mbps. Coverage can change street by street, so confirm the exact address before you choose.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Lawrence
At $95/mo for the first 12 months, then $135/mo, AT&T Fiber 5 GIG offers up to 5000 Mbps down and 5000 Mbps up with a 99/100 Speed Score, making it a top-tier option for heavy households and demanding uploads. That score is above Lawrence’s city average of 73, but this fiber tier is available to 31.7% of the city, so check your address because AT&T’s fixed wireless Internet Air may be the available alternative where fiber is not. Fiber generally provides more consistent performance and lower latency than fixed wireless, making it the stronger AT&T technology when offered at your home.
About AT&T
AT&T offers strong value in Lawrence, with Fiber 300 at $35/mo for the first 12 months, then $60/mo, for up to 300 Mbps both ways, while Fiber 1 GIG costs $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo, for up to 1000 Mbps both ways. Its fiber options are excellent, including Fiber 5 GIG with up to 5000 Mbps both ways for $95/mo for the first 12 months, then $135/mo, but fiber availability is address-dependent, reaching 31.7% for the 5 GIG plan and 33.0% for the other fiber plans. Where fiber is unavailable, Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps both ways for $55/mo, then $60/mo, across 22.9% of Lawrence, but fixed wireless can be less reliable, so check for fiber at your address first.

Midco is a top-tier option in Lawrence, especially where its fiber is available: the plan offers up to 5000 Mbps download and 5000 Mbps upload with a 98/100 Speed Score. That fiber plan covers 11.4% of the city, so availability depends on your address. Where fiber is unavailable, Midco’s cable plan is still a solid option, offering up to 2000 Mbps download and 350 Mbps upload with a 94/100 Speed Score.
About Midco
Midco is a strong option in Lawrence for households that need fast, reliable internet, but its best choices depend on the address.

The 1 Gig plan still offers up to 1000 Mbps down and 1000 Mbps up with a 91/100 score, while the 600 Mbps plan scores 81/100.

Households seeking a competitively priced 5G fixed wireless connection for streaming, work, and everyday use may find T-Mobile a good fit, with plans offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload and a Speed Score of 79/100, above Lawrence’s city average of 73. Fixed wireless can be less consistent than wired service, and these plans are available to 43.4% of Lawrence, so address-level availability matters before choosing between the $70/mo All-In plan and the $50/mo Rely plan.

ClearWave is a top-tier option in Lawrence, with fiber offering up to 7000 Mbps download and 7000 Mbps upload and a 98/100 speed score. Its up to 7000 Mbps fiber plan covers 0.7% of the city, so availability at your specific address is the key consideration. The 1000/1000 Mbps fiber plan also scores 91/100, putting ClearWave at the high end of a market where the average top speed score is 73.
About ClearWave
ClearWave is an excellent option for the small number of Lawrence addresses it serves, with fiber plans offering up to 7,000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 98/100, or up to 1,000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 91/100. Availability is very limited, however: the 7,000 Mbps plan reaches 0.7% of census blocks and the 1,000 Mbps plan reaches 0.2%, so check your address before counting on ClearWave.

Satellite service offers broad access and up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload on Starlink’s Max plan, which can handle everyday browsing, streaming, and many work-from-home needs, though higher latency may affect gaming and video calls. Its Speed Score is 73/100, about the same as the Lawrence average of 73, and the Max plan is available to 100.0% of the city. Because satellite latency differs from wired connections, check which other technologies reach your address before choosing.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad availability across 100.0% of Lawrence, making it useful for streaming and everyday browsing, though higher latency can make gaming and video calls feel less responsive. Plans range from up to 100 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up for $55/mo to up to 400 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up for $130/mo, all with a 73/100 Speed Score. Starlink is a solid fallback where wired service is unavailable, but check your address for fiber or cable first if you need the most reliable performance for gaming, frequent video calls, or heavy uploads.

Its fiber plan offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload with a 91/100 Speed Score, a top-tier option above the city average of 73, though fiber coverage is 0.7% of the city.

Because the best technology may not reach every address, verify which connection type is available at yours before choosing.
About Giant Communications
Giant Communications can be a great choice at some addresses, but it is not a dependable citywide option. Its excellent fiber and cable plans offer up to 1000 Mbps both ways, yet they cover only 0.7% and 4.3% of census blocks respectively; elsewhere, its fixed wireless options top out at 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, which may be inadequate for busy households, so check for fiber or cable first.

Up to 940 Mbps download and 940 Mbps upload, Brightspeed’s fiber plan is a top-tier option for 4K streaming, video calls, gaming, and busy connected homes, with a Speed Score of 84/100. That fiber plan reaches 0.1% of Lawrence, so availability depends heavily on your address. Where fiber is unavailable, Brightspeed’s copper plans offer up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload with Speed Scores as low as 14/100, so consider checking other providers first for better performance.
About Brightspeed
Up to 940 Mbps both ways is Brightspeed’s headline option, and it is excellent for streaming, gaming, video calls, and multiple users. That fiber service is address-dependent and covers just 0.1% of census blocks, while the copper alternatives range from up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload down to up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, so they may handle basic browsing but can feel insufficient for modern households.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
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.
