Other available internet providers in Biloxi

• Satellite internet: Starlink, Hughesnet or Viasat are options for satellite internet if you live in a rural or remote spot with limited (or no) wired internet options. Check into cable, fiber, fixed wireless and even DSL before springing for satellite. Speeds can be variable, and satellite internet pricing is on the high end.
• Verizon 5G Home Internet: Verizon’s 5G network doesn’t cover as much of Biloxi as T-Mobile’s network, but you’ll find some availability of the home internet service on the northern end of town. Verizon offers speeds up to 300 Mbps in Biloxi with two plan options. The 5G Home plan costs $50 per month (as low as $35 per month when bundled) for speeds up to 100Mbps. The 5G Home Plus plan runs $70 per month (as low as $45 per month when bundled) for speeds up to 300Mbps.

Cheap internet options in Biloxi

Sparklight covers all of Biloxi with one of the cheapest internet plans around. The cable ISP’s 100Mbps costs $25 per month for the first year of service. You’ll need to calculate for equipment rental fees (as much as $12.50 per month) or provide your own gear. You may be able to hunt down a great fiber internet deal in Biloxi: keep an eye out for a limited-time $25-off deal from C Spire Fiber that brings the 300Mbps plan down to $35 per month for the first year.

How fast is Biloxi broadband?

Some homes in Biloxi have the luxury of fiber internet from AT&T Fiber or C Spire Fiber. Both providers offer zippy multi-gig plans that will keep your internet experience zooming along. However, limited availability means many residents have access only to Sparklight’s cable service, which tops out close to a gig. Biloxi residents overall have access to respectably fast internet service. A recent Ookla speed test report showed a 211 Mbps median fixed internet download speed for the city. Those are decent results compared with the 205Mbps figure for Mississippi.

What’s a good internet speed?

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you’re looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you’ll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here’s an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines — and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.

For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.

• 0 to 5Mbps allows you to tackle the basics — browsing the internet, sending and receiving email, streaming low-quality video.
• 5 to 40Mbps gives you higher-quality video streaming and videoconferencing.
• 40 to 100Mbps should give one user sufficient bandwidth to satisfy the demands of modern telecommuting, video streaming and online gaming.
• 100 to 500Mbps allows one to two users to simultaneously engage in high-bandwidth activities like videoconferencing, streaming and online gaming.
• 500 to 1,000Mbps allows three or more users to engage in high-bandwidth activities at the same time.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Biloxi

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. So 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.

But 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, and 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?

While the answers to those questions are often layered and complex, the providers that 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, though 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 Biloxi?

Choosing an ISP in Biloxi depends on budget, speed needs and availability. Sparklight covers the entire town and offers a 100Mbps plan for $25 per month for the first year. That’s the cheapest home internet you can get in Biloxi. If you crave fast upload speeds to go along with fast downloads, check in with AT&T Fiber and C Spire Fiber. AT&T Fiber got our nod for best ISP in Biloxi thanks to reasonably priced plans, decent availability and a top speed of 5,000Mbps for super-users. Compare with C Spire if it reaches your home, especially if it offers a special introductory deal like the 300Mpbs plan for $35 monthly.
