Find internet providers in Las Vegas, NV
Find internet offered in Las Vegas, NV – 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 Las Vegas, NV, your best bet is Cox Communications, covering ~91% of the city overall with FCC-filed speeds up to 2,000 Mbps. However, if Quantum Fiber is available at your address, it can be the better, faster pick where its network reaches, with ~28% citywide coverage overall and fastest filed speeds up to 8,000 Mbps. Quantum Fiber leads ZIP 89102 at 52.1%, while Cox dominates Summerlin North at 93.9% and Centennial Hills at 76.0%. In Centennial Hills, Quantum Fiber reaches 18.4% with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps; ZIP 89101 nearly splits between AT&T at 31.2% and Cox at 31.0%. Historic Westside favors Cox at 49.1%, with Quantum Fiber at 32.0%, while Desert Shores still deserves an exact-address check. ZIP 89105 includes Cox’s slower 2,000/35 Mbps filing across 37.8% of the ZIP. Students near the University of Nevada, Las Vegas or College of Southern Nevada Charleston Campus should verify apartment hookups, since older copper or DSL can complicate Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon is the stronger budget fixed-wireless alternative, reaching 67% of the city at up to 300/20 Mbps, while T-Mobile reaches 22% at up to 100/20 Mbps, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

Homes needing fast everyday service for streaming, work, and multiple devices can consider T-Mobile’s 5G fixed wireless plans, offering up to 354↓/55↑ Mbps for $50/mo promotional rate or up to 498↓/55↑ Mbps for $70/mo promotional rate. Both plans have a Speed Score of 82/100, above the city average of 73, making T-Mobile a competitive choice.

Our recommendation for Las Vegas
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless is a practical option for everyday streaming, browsing, and video calls, though performance can vary more than wired service. 5G Home Plus offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 83/100, while 5G Home offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with an 82/100 score; both are listed as available to 72.1% of Las Vegas, so address-level eligibility is important. Verizon’s top score is above the city average of 73, making it a competitive choice where the 5G service reaches your address.
About Verizon
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless service offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with 5G Home Plus, or up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with 5G Home, making it a strong option for streaming, remote work, and multiple devices.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Las Vegas
Satellite internet can support streaming, browsing, and everyday use across Las Vegas, but its higher latency may make gaming and video calls less responsive than wired connections. Starlink’s Residential – Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 73/100, available to 100.0% of Las Vegas, which is about the same as the city average of 73; because satellite has more limited performance than fiber or cable, check other providers first if low latency is important at your address.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach and can support everyday streaming, video calls, and work, but its higher latency can be frustrating for competitive gaming and other real-time uses. All three plans are available to 100.0% of Las Vegas, with the fastest offering up to 400 Mbps for $130/mo, while the 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans cost $85/mo and $55/mo, so check whether fiber or cable is available at your address before choosing this satellite fallback.

At $35/mo for the first 12 months, then $60/mo, AT&T Fiber 300 offers up to 300 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 82/100, making it an excellent choice and a strong value for everyday streaming, gaming, and work. For heavier use, Fiber 1 GIG costs $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo, and offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload with a 91/100 score, but fiber is available to 3.7% of the city, so the best technology may not reach your address and AT&T Internet Air may provide a less consistent fixed-wireless experience. AT&T’s headline Speed Score of 82/100 is above the city’s 73 average.
About AT&T
AT&T offers excellent fiber value, with $35/mo for the first 12 months buying up to 300 Mbps, $50/mo buying up to 500 Mbps or 1,000 Mbps, and $95/mo buying up to 5,000 Mbps, although those prices rise to $60, $75 or $90, and $135 respectively. Fiber is available to 3.7% of Las Vegas, while Internet Air reaches 16.6% with up to 300 Mbps for $55/mo promotional, then $60/mo, so check your address because the faster, more dependable option is highly location-dependent and fixed wireless may be less consistent for modern heavy use.

How We Analyze Internet in Las Vegas
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Las Vegas report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Las Vegas
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.
