Rapid City, SD provider recommendations
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, Viasat, and Bluepeak are the best internet providers for folks living in the Gateway to the Black Hills. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is the most budget-friendly of the three options yet still offers more than enough speeds for streaming Timberwolves or Nuggets games (depending upon where your allegiances lie). If you want to pay extra for the fastest speeds possible, Bluepeak can give you up to gigabit speeds, but that makes for less money you can spend at the Dinosaur Park every month. If all else fails and you can’t get T-Mobile 5G Home Internet or Bluepeak in your corner of Rapid City, you can get Viasat satellite internet.
Tech type availability in Rapid City, SD
Fiber availability
Renowned for its reliability, fiber can reach download and upload speeds up to 10,000Mbps. While it isn’t available everywhere, it’s the best internet you can get.
Cable availability
Cable is bread-and-butter internet—widely available, often affordable, and very fast, delivering download speeds that range anywhere from 25Mbps to 1,200Mbps.
DSL availability
DSL maxes out at 100Mbps, but many DSL customers get much slower speeds than that. DSL is becoming obsolete, but it’s still a solid option in rural areas.
Satellite availability
Satellite is available practically everywhere, even in the most remote parts of the country. It’s costly and comes with strict data limits and slow speeds, so use it as a last resort.
