Delaware Internet Coverage

Jump to Top Cities, Speeds, Connection Types or All Cities.

As the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, Delaware has stood out since the beginning, and its internet availability is no exception. Delaware's average download speeds are 102.28 Mbps, a remarkably quick rate in a country where the vast majority of states only average speeds in the double digits. Ranking 7th in the country for fiber internet, the First State is a pioneer of high-speed internet availability, extending fiber coverage to 55 percent of Delaware households. Cable coverage is accessible to 95 percent of the state, making Delaware 8th in the U.S. for cable. If you aren't covered by either of these two internet connection types, you're probably among the 79 percent of households covered by DSL internet.

You might expect that a state with such high-speed offerings would price those internet options on the higher end of the spectrum, but that's not necessarily the case in Delaware. With an average price per Mbps of $0.34 and a monthly internet price averaging $67.82, the state ranks as the 20th most affordable state to purchase internet in the U.S. Not too shabby!

Delaware might be the second smallest state in the country but nestled into some of its neighborhoods is the capacity for effective internet connectivity. For the state's top-tier speeds, head to Newark, where the city's 21 providers have download speeds reaching up to 940 Mbps, and upload speeds up to 35 Mbps as customary as the state's no-sales-tax policy. Then, take I-95 South to Wilmington to scope out the competition between the 28 providers covering 99 percent of the city and offering deals hard to beat elsewhere in the state.

Given Delaware's average internet speeds and pricing, we feel confident that the Diamond State holds the jewel of an internet plan designed with your household in mind.
