What is the best internet provider in Kansas?
AT&T is the best internet provider in Kansas, both for its fast, high-value fiber internet and the broad coverage it provides via its copper-based service. Speeds are much faster with AT&T Fiber, but AT&T Internet, the copper-based DSL service, could provide a reliable broadband connection in rural or suburban areas.
AT&T Fiber, along with Google Fiber, offers the fastest internet speeds in Kansas, with symmetrical upload and download speeds up to 5,000 megabits per second (5 gigabits per second). AT&T Fiber’s 5 gig plan is more widely available throughout Kansas, but Google Fiber’s plan is considerably cheaper, starting at $120 compared with $250.
If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, Mediacom offers the cheapest internet plan in Kansas with speeds up to 100Mbps starting at $25 per month, followed by Vyve Broadband and its $30 monthly 105Mbps plan. Availability for both internet service providers is highly limited in Kansas, however. Nearly all other major ISPs have a starting price of around $50 per month, including Cox, the largest cable internet provider in Kansas.
Our methodology
Cox is the second-largest wired ISP in Kansas, and unlike AT&T, its network and offers are fairly consistent across all service areas.
Mediacom’s starting price is half that of other major ISPs in Kansas. Unfortunately, availability is limited.
AT&T has the greatest broadband coverage of any wired provider in Kansas. The speeds that come with AT&T Fiber, plus the perks across both fiber and copper services — free equipment, no contracts, no set price increases after 12 months — make AT&T a top choice for internet in Kansas.
