Find internet providers in Warwick, RI
Find internet offered in Warwick, RI – 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 TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Warwick
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless can support everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, with 5G Home Plus offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, though performance can vary more than with wired connections. Its 69/100 Speed Score is above Warwick’s city average of 55, but remains below the 70-point mark for good performance, while 5G Home scores 68/100 at up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload. Address availability is the key limitation, since each listed 5G plan reaches only 6.0% of Warwick, so check your address before choosing Verizon.
About Verizon
5G fixed wireless is an adequate option for everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, with Verizon offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload on 5G Home Plus or up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload on 5G Home. These plans are available to only 6.0% of Warwick, and fixed wireless can have performance issues, so check your address and compare faster fiber or cable options first if they are available.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Warwick
Satellite internet can handle everyday browsing, streaming, and remote work, but its higher latency may make gaming and video calls less responsive than wired connections. Starlink offers plans with up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, or 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, with each listed plan available to 100.0% of Warwick and carrying a 66/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 55. Because satellite has a score below 70 and more performance limitations than wired options, consider checking what other technologies are available at your address first.
About Starlink
Satellite internet provides broad access for everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency can make video calls, gaming, and other real-time activities feel less responsive. Starlink’s plans are available to 100.0% of Warwick and offer up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, making it worth considering where fiber or cable is unavailable, though checking those lower-latency options at your address first is wise.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Warwick
Households seeking a practical option for everyday streaming, browsing, and video calls may find T-Mobile’s fixed wireless service a good fit, with plans offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $70/mo, or up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $50/mo. Its 68/100 Speed Score is above Warwick’s city average of 55, though fixed wireless can be more variable than wired service. Address eligibility is important because these plans are available to 50.0% of the city, so households prioritizing consistent performance should also check wired options at their address.
About T-Mobile
Households with typical streaming, browsing, and video calls may find T-Mobile a practical fit, with 5G fixed wireless plans offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $70/mo, or up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $50/mo. Availability is address-dependent and covers 50.0% of Warwick, while the 68/100 Speed Score is below average for the state, so homes with demanding uploads, gaming, or other performance-sensitive needs should check for fiber or cable first.

About AT&T

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Warwick
At $39.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $49.99/mo, HughesNet’s Lite plan buys up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, but its satellite service has a 33/100 Speed Score, below Warwick’s 55 average. The $94.99/mo Fusion plan for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, raises advertised speeds to up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, yet keeps the same 33/100 score. Satellite offers limited performance and higher latency, so check what other options are available at your specific address before choosing HughesNet.
About HughesNet
$39.99/mo for the first 12 months buys up to 25 Mbps with HughesNet, while $49.99/mo buys up to 50 Mbps and $94.99/mo buys up to 100 Mbps, but all three satellite plans have a below-average 33/100 Speed Score despite 100.0% availability in Warwick. Because satellite can be limiting for gaming, video calls, and heavy streaming, check whether faster fiber or cable is available at your address first, and consider HughesNet mainly as a fallback if it is not.

How We Analyze Internet in Warwick
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 Warwick report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Warwick
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.
