Summing Up
1. Cox
Cox is by far the best cable and fiber internet provider across Nevada. It is obtainable in almost 70% of the state by area, and nearly two-thirds of households in the covered area are equipped with the service. Cox Nevada offers speeds up to 1000Mbps of speed in most cities of Nevada, and higher gig speeds are attainable in select areas.
Cox internet plans start at $50/month and you can enjoy download speeds of up to 100Mbps; if you need faster internet, you can always upgrade later. The basic plan is budget-friendly and ideal for casual internet usage like browsing and streaming.
Disclaimer: Speed and pricing are subject to change and are available on based on locality.
Higher speeds are recommended for households where multiple people and devices are connected to the network simultaneously. Moreover, online activities like gaming and 4K/8K streaming require greater speed + lower ping rates. Cox is not the cheapest or fastest internet service on the list, but it excels in terms of stability and coverage.
2. GeoLinks
Geolinks matches Cox in terms of coverage, but it offers speeds as high as 10Gbps. Geolinks provides fiber and fixed wireless connections across Nevada. It is known to have one of the most powerful wireless networks worldwide and the fiber network is rapidly expanding nationwide.
However, GeoLinks does not offer any pre-defined internet packages or pricing; the cost depends upon individual requirements and location. The company primarily serves government organizations and large-scale businesses; hence, it is not a feasible option for home internet.
Geolinks is a premium internet service, which tends to be rather costly in comparison to other internet providers on the list. It is a good option if you are planning to move your business to Nevada and seek super-fast internet that can handle many users at a time.
3. T-Mobile
T-Mobile 5G home internet is a fixed wireless connection that delivers speeds up to 182Mbps only. This might not sound like much, but the service excels in terms of consistency and coverage. It is a wireless internet service accessible by more or less 95% of Nevada, which is the highest on our list.
T-Mobile home internet is undoubtedly the best option for people residing in rural and remote areas of Nevada. Normally, wired internet service do not operate in these areas because they are underdeveloped or scarcely populated. Setting up a cable or fiber network in such regions is not quite profitable for them. But T-Mobile has successfully been able to cater to internet users in these areas.
T-Mobile offers unlimited data with its home internet plan and you can also pair it with a mobile data plan for a discounted price. The wireless internet service is almost everywhere around the state, so it’s easy to access and stay connected on the go.
4. CenturyLink
CenturyLink provides fiber and DSL internet connections to half of Nevada, so it’s a solid choice for state residents. The internet provider’s Quantum Fiber internet plans offer great speeds at reasonable costs, so you should go for it if it’s available in your area.
The performance of CenturyLink DSL varies by location, and we would not recommend it unless you don’t have any better options. It is still better than most wireless internet services, but you cannot expect much in terms of speed. However, if you’re on a budget and not accustomed to ultra-fast internet, its slow speed won’t bother you too much.
All in all, CenturyLink does promise good value in exchange for your money, and their customer support is satisfactory. If you have to choose between their fiber and DSL, you should definitely select the former.
5. Verizon Fios
Verizon Fios internet plans are 100% fiber and exceedingly reliable, but their availability is limited. At present, the service provider’s coverage is below 40% in Nevada, but this may change in the future. The company also provides fixed wireless 5G internet, which is the next best option given the better coverage.
The best thing about Verizon fiber internet is that it provides symmetrical download and upload speeds, which is pretty rare. Therefore, it is probably the best internet option for pro gamers and live streamers in Nevada.
Verizon internet plans start at $50/month (prices are subject to change), which is standard for broadband service providers. In addition, it has no data caps and customers do not have to enter a term agreement for availing promotions.
Summing Up
Cox is our number one choice, considering all the necessary aspects of an internet connection. T-Mobile takes the lead in terms of coverage and CenturyLink is the most budget-friendly option. Verizon excels in performance but lacks in area coverage. Geolinks is recommended for entrepreneurs looking to move or expand their business to Nevada.
