Best Internet Providers in Crooks
Crooks sits just west of Interstate 29 on the northern edge of the Sioux Falls metro. Out near the I-29 corridor, development follows a loose suburban spread of single-family lots and a few denser pockets next to main streets. In central Crooks and along the I-29 corridor, fixed wireless and 5G home service are widely available, while more outlying rural lots rely primarily on satellite and phone-based connections. Given that growth happened after utilities were already stretched, fiber never extended deeply here, so people tend to see decent download speeds from 5G or satellite but lower upload capacity, more latency, and performance that dips during bad weather or heavy use.
In Crooks, 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 18 areas we track, here are our top recommendations for 2026.
HughesNet is the standout pick if it is available at your address. With speeds up to 100 Mbps, 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 Crooks, so it is worth checking your exact address first.
Alliance Communications is usually the most widely available choice in Crooks and a strong option when you need a reliable connection. Its network reaches approximately 100% of Crooks, with speeds up to 100 Mbps and plans starting around N/A/mo, making it the most accessible option for many residents. In neighborhoods where HughesNet is not offered yet, Alliance Communications is often the best overall mix of speed and price.
Earthlink 5G Home Internet can be a strong third option if you would rather keep things simple, with straightforward pricing around $39.95/mo and fewer stipulations.
Coverage reaches roughly 86% of Crooks, and speeds range between 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps, which is enough for streaming, video calls, and everyday home use. It can be a great fit in parts of Crooks where signal strength is strong.
a DSL provider or Viasat may still offer service in parts of Crooks, if none of these are available at your address, with speeds up to 400 Mbps. Since promotions change often, it is always smart to check current deals before you order.
