How we review internet in Mississippi

Our methodology

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 290 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Find Mississippi internet providers by city

Mississippi is known for its world-famous barbecue and Bluegrass music. But if you’re planning to move to the Magnolia State, don’t expect to get the best internet access. Mississippi is one of the poorest states, and it’s not known for its connectivity or technological innovation. Residents in urban areas may be able to get access to decent internet speeds. But for Mississippians living in rural areas, a reliable internet connection is very hard to come by.

Terrible service. Upsell everything but deliver subpar at best.

We had nothing but trouble with our internet service starting a few days after installation. Tried fixing it through “troubleshooter” but that failed & spoke with several techs, but they could not find the problem. I had to find the problem myself, which turned out that unbeknownst to me, the service we were sold on was a metered acct. … We should have been told before installation about this metering & the problems it could cause. At the very least, Comcast/Xfinity should have been able to solve the problem. I fixed the problem, therefore, Comcast/Xfinity should have been able to fix it, too!

The future of internet in Mississippi

Mississippi’s five-year broadband plan from the Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility of Mississippi (BEAM) is to expand high-speed internet statewide using federal BEAD funds (over $1.2 billion) to build infrastructure, map and serve unserved/underserved areas and support economic and educational growth.

To address the rural internet digital divide in the state’s rural delta, internet deployment continues with fiber and satellite options, along with local workforce training.
