Best Internet Providers in Florence
Florence's low-rise, spread-out layout and surrounding farmland still steer where crews run trenches and poles. Out near the edges, the suburban spread around the small downtown funnels upgrades along the main commercial strip and nearby roads, leaving back streets on older copper or wireless gear. Fiber service is concentrated in downtown Florence and along the main commercial strip, while the outer rural neighborhoods and mobile-home clusters are largely served by satellite and fixed wireless. In practice, that means households on fiber get smoother uploads and lower latency for video calls and remote work, while places off the strip cope with higher latency, data limits, and spotty performance when weather or line-of-sight affects wireless links.
In Florence, internet competition varies by neighborhood, but most residents have multiple options to choose from. After reviewing provider availability, plan pricing, typical speeds, and customer sentiment across the 25 areas we track, here are our top recommendations for 2026.
EarthLink Fiber is the standout pick if it is available at your address. With speeds up to 5 Gbps (and, in some areas, symmetrical upload speeds), it is often the best option for gaming, remote work, and busy households with many users and connected devices. Availability has expanded across parts of Florence, so it is worth checking your exact address first.
Viasat is usually the most widely available choice in Florence and a strong option when you need a reliable connection. Its network reaches approximately 99% of Florence, with speeds up to 150 Mbps and plans starting around $49.99/mo, making it the most accessible option for many residents. In neighborhoods where EarthLink Fiber is not offered yet, Viasat is often the best overall mix of speed and price.
HughesNet can be a strong third option if you would rather keep things simple, with straightforward pricing around $74.99/mo and fewer stipulations.
Coverage reaches roughly 98% of Florence, and speeds range between 100 Mbps and 100 Mbps, which is enough for streaming, video calls, and everyday home use. It can be a great fit in parts of Florence where signal strength is strong.
Adams Telephone Co-Operative or Viasat may still offer service in parts of Florence, if none of these are available at your address, with speeds up to 8 Mbps. Since promotions change often, it is always smart to check current deals before you order.
