The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedRoles count plans reaching at least 5% of Myrtle Beach. Faster only in small pockets: Frontier Fiber 5 Gig up to 5,000 Mbps (~4% of the city).
Spectrum, the best overall, uses cable with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 88% of the city. HTC is fastest where available: if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 1,000/500 Mbps reaching about 71% of the city. The local split is real: HTC covers about 61% of The Market Common, while Spectrum leads Grande Dunes at about 43%, with HTC at about 36% and Frontier at about 15%.
HTC is especially dominant in ZIP 29579 at about 91% and ZIP 29588 at about 90%, both largely served by fiber, while ZIP 29575 is more evenly divided between HTC at about 46% and Spectrum at about 42%. Students at Horry-Georgetown Technical College should check apartment wiring carefully, since some addresses can still be limited by older copper or DSL infrastructure, which is a poor fit for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T fixed wireless are worth a look where wired service misses, while Pine Lakes and Arcadian Shores deserve the same address-level caution. Confirm the exact address before choosing, because coverage can change from one street or building to the next.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Myrtle Beach
Spectrum’s 78/100 headline Speed Score reflects cable service with up to 1,000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, enough for streaming, gaming, video calls, and multiple connected devices. That score is above Myrtle Beach’s city average of 51, making Spectrum a solid, reliable cable option, though upload-heavy households may prefer checking other available technologies. Plan availability depends on your specific address, so confirm which speeds reach your home before signing up.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About Spectrum
Spectrum’s headline option is up to 1000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, which is excellent for streaming, gaming, video calls, and busy households, and its cable plans are generally a strong choice for most needs. Up to 500 Mbps is also available for $40 per month for 12 months, while the 100 Mbps plan is adequate for basic browsing and streaming but less comfortable for larger households; these plans are available to about 88% of Myrtle Beach, so check your address to confirm the faster tier.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Myrtle Beach
HTC’s fiber plan offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload, enough for demanding streaming, gaming, video calls, and many connected devices, with a Speed Score of 78/100. Fiber reaches about 71% of Myrtle Beach, so the best performance may depend on whether it is available at your address, while HTC’s cable plan is a solid option at up to 1000/20 Mbps with the same 78/100 score. Addresses limited to HTC’s copper plan, up to 25/3 Mbps with a 5/100 score, should consider checking other providers first for better performance.

About HTC
HTC’s fastest option is fiber with up to 1000 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload, a strong fit for streaming, video calls, gaming, and households with multiple users. Availability is address-dependent: fiber reaches about 71% of census blocks, while the similarly fast cable plan reaches about 2%, and the fallback copper plan offers only up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload across about 9%, which may not be sufficient for modern needs, so check for fiber or cable first.

Frontier’s 97/100 Speed Score and up to 5,000 Mbps both ways on Fiber 5 Gig can handle large households, 4K streaming, gaming, video calls, and heavy downloads at the same time. This fiber plan is a top-tier option and scores above the city average of 51.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Myrtle Beach
Budget-conscious households that need solid speeds for streaming, work, and everyday use may find T-Mobile a competitive choice, with plans offering up to 500 Mbps download, up to 60 Mbps upload, and a Speed Score of 78/100, above Myrtle Beach’s city average of 51. Because this is fixed wireless rather than fiber or cable, real-world performance can vary, but it is a practical option where available. The 500 Mbps and 400 Mbps plans reach about 42% of the city, so check your address carefully, and note that these offers require a qualifying T-Mobile voice bundle.

About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is a solid fit for households that want good everyday performance from fixed wireless, including streaming, video calls, and multiple connected devices, with speeds up to 500 Mbps and a good 78/100 Speed Score. The 500 Mbps plans are available to about 42% of Myrtle Beach, so performance is address-dependent, and you should confirm availability at your home before choosing it, especially since fixed wireless can be less consistent than fiber or cable.

About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach, with service shown across 100.0% of Myrtle Beach and plans offering up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, though satellite latency can affect gaming, video calls, and other real-time uses. The $130/mo Residential Max 400 Mbps plan is the strongest choice, but check your address for fiber or cable first because those technologies are generally better for modern needs, while Starlink is a useful fallback where faster wired options are unavailable.

Satellite service is available to 100.0% of Myrtle Beach, but its below-average speeds and higher latency may be frustrating for streaming, gaming, and multiple users, so check your address for fiber or cable first, since those options may be better for modern needs.

About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is mainly an adequate fallback, not a top choice, because its satellite plans have below-average speed scores and limited capacity for modern streaming, gaming, or multiple users.

How We Analyze Internet in Myrtle Beach
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
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Myrtle Beach report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Myrtle Beach
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.
Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.
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.
