Best Internet Providers in Loris
Loris sits on the coastal plain a short drive west of the Grand Strand, with low pine ridgelines and a compact historic downtown. The U.S. 701 corridor and downtown grid are the town's structural anchors. Fiber service is concentrated in central Loris and along the U.S. 701 corridor, while satellite and fixed wireless coverage is expanding through the surrounding Horry County roads and scattered subdivisions. Out near the farms and postwar subdivisions, that history shows up in people's connections: downtown addresses tend to enjoy lower latency and stronger uploads on fiber, but rural lanes often rely on satellite or fixed wireless with higher latency and asymmetric speeds.
In Loris, 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 Loris, so it is worth checking your exact address first.
HughesNet is usually the most widely available choice in Loris and a strong option when you need a reliable connection. Its network reaches approximately 99% of Loris, with speeds up to 100 Mbps and plans starting around $74.99/mo, making it the most accessible option for many residents. In neighborhoods where EarthLink Fiber is not offered yet, HughesNet is often the best overall mix of speed and price.
Viasat can be a strong third option if you would rather keep things simple, with straightforward pricing around $49.99/mo and fewer stipulations.
Coverage reaches roughly 95% of Loris, and speeds range between 11 Mbps and 150 Mbps, which is enough for streaming, video calls, and everyday home use. It can be a great fit in parts of Loris where signal strength is strong.
Cyberonic or Viasat may still offer service in parts of Loris, if none of these are available at your address, with speeds up to 50 Mbps. Since promotions change often, it is always smart to check current deals before you order.
