CNET’s top pick for internet service in North Platte is ALLO. It delivers fast, reliable connectivity at solid value, making it a standout choice for most residents in the area. If you’re more focused on saving money, Spectrum is worth considering. Its introductory pricing is among the best in town, even if its reliability may not match ALLO.
Other options include CenturyLink, which offers DSL and limited fiber service, and local provider ATC Communications, which offers fixed wireless internet. Depending on your location and needs, one of these may be a good fit.
Best internet in North Platte in 2025
North Platte has just about every flavor of the internet. There’s fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite. Based on coverage area, speed and pricing, my top recommendations are fiber from ALLO, cable from Spectrum and fixed wireless from ATC Communications.
While CenturyLink’s $30 fiber plan is a bargain, there’s very little availability in North Platte. Most CenturyLink customers will be looking at the $55 DSL plans. You’ll be better off with Spectrum’s $50-for-500Mbps plan, at least until the price goes up down the line. If there’s room in your budget, ALLO’s entry-level $72 plan is your best bet for fiber across most of North Platte. That’s a decent value, considering the equally fast uploads.

How fast is broadband in North Platte?
Recent Ookla Speedtest data shows North Platte with a median download speed of 357Mbps. That compares well to the US overall median download speed of 287Mbps. North Platte’s healthy internet stats are thanks to ALLO and Spectrum’s speedy offerings. Both providers have gig download speeds available, with ALLO’s fiber service also offering fast uploads. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
Fastest internet providers in North Platte
ALLO is top of the pops when it comes to symmetrical speeds. The ISP’s 1,000Mbps plan is more expensive than the Spectrum equivalent (at least at first), but it’s worth the price for anyone who needs to upload large files. Spectrum comes in cheaper at the gig level. The only other ISP that comes close is CenturyLink’s fiber plans. Lack of availability is the big issue regarding CenturyLink fiber options in North Platte.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in North Platte
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. What’s our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary database of pricing, availability and speed information that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.
It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
Does the provider offer access to reasonably fast internet speeds?
Do customers get decent value for what they’re paying?
Are customers happy with their service?
The answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports.

What’s the final word on internet providers in North Platte?
Picking your North Platte home’s best internet provider will depend on your needs. As a fan of fiber, I recommend checking out ALLO. If you’re on a tight budget, Spectrum has some affordable deals, but be prepared to negotiate your price once the introductory period is up. If you’re in a more rural area where ALLO and Spectrum don’t reach, look into CenturyLink DSL, ATC Communications or Rise Broadband to get online.
