Internet providers in Minnesota
Minnesota is known for its beautiful and abundant lakes; well over 10,000 of them. From fishing and hunting to skiing and hiking, the frozen north offers outdoor adventure. For the rural areas in Minnesota, it can be hard to find a high-speed provider, as most only operate in the Twin Cities and other larger areas.
Minnesota broadband coverage is available to 91 percent of the state, but there are still many residents under-served. Less than 25 percent of Minnesotans statewide have access to speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps. As internet technology advances, state officials are working to implement policies that will give high-speed internet access to users in even the most rural farming areas.
When it comes to internet service providers in Minnesota, there are several to consider. AT&T provides fiber optic, wireless or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) depending on your location. CenturyLink is another fiber optic provider in Minnesota. Cox, Sparklight and Mediacom offer cable while HughesNet and Viasat offer satellite. Frontier and Windstream offer DSL services, while Xfinity offers fiber.
