The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedSpectrum is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 87% of Spartanburg, and an overall footprint of about 91%. If AT&T fiber reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 23% of the city.
Spectrum leads the biggest ZIPs, covering about 56% in 29304 and 29305, about 54% in Hillcrest and 29307, and about 57% around Wofford College in 29303. Fiber is especially competitive in Hampton Heights, where AT&T reaches about 28% and Lumos about 28%, while 29301 has Lumos at about 23% and AT&T at about 20%. Converse Heights is more evenly split, with Spectrum at about 45% and AT&T fiber at about 35%, so the fastest option can change from one street to the next. T-Mobile and Verizon are worth checking as fixed-wireless alternatives, particularly for student apartments near Wofford College, Converse University, University of South Carolina Upstate, or Spartanburg Community College, though older buildings may still rely on DSL or copper. Coverage and building wiring vary sharply, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is a good fit for households that want straightforward home internet with up to 500 Mbps download speeds and do not need the consistency of wired service.

Satellite service can provide up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on Starlink’s Residential Max plan, supporting streaming, remote work, and multiple connected devices, though satellite latency can affect gaming and real-time applications. With a Speed Score of 78/100, Starlink is above Spartanburg’s city average of 66, and this plan is available to 100.0% of the city, but checking wired options at your address is worthwhile if low latency is a priority.

About Starlink

About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is a mostly adequate fallback, not a first choice for modern internet needs, because its satellite plans have below-average Speed Scores and offer up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month with Viasat Essentials, or up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month with Viasat Unleashed. Both plans are available to 100% of Spartanburg, but satellite can have high latency, so check your address for faster fiber, cable, or other local options first.

At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $119.99, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload over satellite, with a 20/100 Speed Score. Satellite service is generally limited by higher latency, and this score is below Spartanburg’s city average of 66, so the value is modest for the price.

About HughesNet
At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, HughesNet’s fastest Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, which is a high price for below-average satellite performance. All three plans are available across 100.0% of Spartanburg, but the slower Select and Lite options only reach up to 50 Mbps and 25 Mbps down, so check your address for faster fiber or cable service before treating HughesNet as your fallback.

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

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.
