The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedSpectrum is the best overall: cable speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reach about 76% of the city, while its overall footprint is about 90%. Glo Fiber is fastest where available, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 38% of the city; if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice. In Paul D.
Camp Community College’s 23434 area, Glo Fiber leads, reaching about 65% of the ZIP, while Harbour View leans heavily toward Spectrum at about 61%. ZIP 23439 is another Glo Fiber stronghold at about 95%, while ZIPs 23433 and 23436 are overwhelmingly Spectrum territory at about 96%, primarily through cable. Fiber is especially visible in ZIP 23437, where Spectrum fiber reaches about 56%, though Bennetts Creek and Sleepy Hole can still vary street by street. Students near Paul D. Camp should confirm the building’s wiring, since apartments can differ and some addresses may remain on older copper infrastructure that is less comfortable for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon fixed wireless is worth checking where wired options miss, with speeds up to 300 Mbps reaching about 36% of the city. Coverage changes quickly, so verify the exact address before choosing.

About Spectrum
Spectrum’s up to 1,000 Mbps cable plan is a good fit for busy households, supporting streaming, gaming, video calls, and many connected devices, with good overall performance. Cable availability is address-dependent, reaching about 76% of the city for this plan, while the up to 500 Mbps and up to 100 Mbps options are suitable for lighter use but may be less comfortable for demanding modern households, so check your address for the fastest plan first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Suffolk
Up to 5,000 Mbps both ways with a 99/100 Speed Score is an excellent choice for large households, 4K streaming, gaming, and demanding uploads. That score is above Suffolk’s city average of 52, making Glo Fiber a top-tier option. Fiber availability is address-specific, and the 5 Gbps plan reaches 38.3% of the city, so confirm that this high-performance option is available at your address.

About Glo Fiber
Glo Fiber’s up to 5,000 Mbps fiber plan is an excellent choice for demanding households, handling multiple 4K streams, gaming, large downloads, and heavy work or smart-home use, with symmetrical speeds both ways. Fiber is available to about 38% of Suffolk, so check your address first, since the availability shown on the card is limited to that portion of the city; where available, the 300 Mbps plan is a more affordable option for everyday browsing and streaming.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Suffolk
Fiber is Verizon’s strongest connection type for everyday use, with the 500 Mbps plan offering up to 500 Mbps both ways and a good 73/100 Speed Score. That fiber plan is available to about 4% of Suffolk, so your address must qualify, while Verizon’s 5G Home option offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with more variable fixed-wireless performance. Verizon’s overall 69/100 Speed Score is above Suffolk’s 52 average, making it a competitive choice where its fiber service reaches.
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 Verizon
Verizon offers fiber plans with up to 940 Mbps download and 880 Mbps upload, or up to 500 Mbps both ways, which are excellent for streaming, video calls, and multiple connected devices. Fiber availability is limited to about 4% of Suffolk, while 5G Home reaches about 39% with up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, so check your address for fiber first because the fixed wireless option can be adequate but may not meet heavier modern needs.

About AT&T

Our recommendation for Suffolk
Satellite service can reach many locations and handle everyday browsing, streaming, and remote work, but its higher latency may be noticeable for gaming and other real-time uses. Starlink’s Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload with a 73/100 Speed Score, above Suffolk’s city average of 52, making it a competitive satellite option. The plan is listed as available to 99.9% of Suffolk, but availability is still address-specific, so check what other technologies and plans reach your home before choosing satellite.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, which can provide broad reach and useful speeds for streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing, though satellite connections typically have higher latency than wired service. Its Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up for $130 per month, with good performance and availability to about 100% of Suffolk, but check your address for fiber or cable first because those technologies are generally better for demanding, latency-sensitive use.

Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with availability to 100% of the city. Because satellite service can have higher latency and both plans score below average, check what other technologies are available at your specific address before choosing.

About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is a fallback option rather than a first choice, since its satellite plans have below-average speeds and higher latency for modern activities. Viasat Essentials offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month, and both plans are available to 100% of Suffolk.

About HughesNet
HughesNet costs $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $49.99 to $119.99, but that buys satellite service with speeds up to 25, 50, or 100 Mbps and below-average Speed Scores of 2 to 12 out of 100. It can be a practical fallback where faster internet is unavailable, but satellite latency and these modest speeds may not suit modern streaming, gaming, or multiple users, so check your address for faster options first.

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.
