Find internet providers in Shakopee, MN
Find internet offered in Shakopee, MN – 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 Shakopee, MN, your best bet is Metronet Holdings, covering ~59% of the city. Its world-class fiber reaches ~59% of the city, with speeds up to 5,120 Mbps. Xfinity is another strong citywide option at 67.2%, but its cable tiers cover different areas, with up to 2,000/300 Mbps reaching ~13% and up to 1,200/35 Mbps reaching ~54%. Southbridge, ZIP 55379, is especially favorable for fiber, with Metronet leading 68.7% of the ZIP at speeds up to 5120/5120 Mbps. Scott Rice Tel. Co. reaches 6.9% there with fiber up to 1000/1000 Mbps, while Netwave Broadband reaches 3.8% with fiber up to 1000/1000 Mbps. Stonebrooke and Dean Lakes deserve their own address checks, since the Southbridge snapshot should not be assumed to apply street by street. For a practical non-fiber alternative, Verizon’s licensed fixed wireless reaches 61.0% citywide, with up to 300/20 Mbps reaching ~51%, while T-Mobile reaches 71.7% overall and its up to 100/20 Mbps tier reaches ~19%.

Households needing basic browsing, streaming, and video calls may find Nuvera’s fixed wireless service workable, with the strongest listed plan offering up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload and a Speed Score of 58/100. Fixed wireless is adequate but can have issues, so shoppers may want to check what else is available at their address first for stronger performance.

About Nuvera Communications
Nuvera Communications is best suited to households that mainly browse, email, and stream occasionally, because its fixed wireless service is adequate for lighter use but not excellent for demanding, simultaneous activity. Check whether faster fiber or cable is available at your address first, since Nuvera’s plans range from up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload to up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, and the lower-speed options may fall short for multiple video calls, streaming, gaming, or large uploads.

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.
