While the walls of Harvard, the history of Boston, and the delight of clam chowder might be the first things that come to mind when you think of Massachusetts, you can add accessible, ultra-fast internet options to the state's list of perks. With 47 internet providers offering download speeds averaging 114.33 Mbps, staying connected in the Bay State is no problem whether you live in Williamstown, Martha's Vineyard, or someplace in between. Ranking 15th in the U.S. for its 39 percent fiber coverage, there's a decent chance you'll find yourself in a Massachusetts neighborhood with access to the fastest internet connection type in the country. That said, nothing comes close to the 99 percent cable coverage that makes Massachusetts 2nd in the nation for cable internet access. DSL internet has a significant presence in Massachusetts as well, making the state the 18th in the country for its 93 percent DSL coverage.
Internet costs in Massachusetts are as mixed as the state's diverse seafood menu. Though the average price per Mbps is pretty low at $0.29, the state is the 30th most affordable place to buy internet in the country. You can expect to pay something close to the state's average price per month of $73.03 for your internet plan.
If you want top-of-the-line speeds, head just east of the Noanet Woodlands to Westwood, where download speeds reaching up to 940 Mbps and upload speeds up to 35 Mbps are as prevalent as the state's devoted Red Sox fans. Speed aside, you can find plenty of internet options in Boston, where 52 providers covering 99 percent of the city are competing for your business. Maybe you don't want to be a Bostonian, well... that's okay! The 35 internet providers in Cambridge cover 100 percent of the city and have deals lined up with your name on at least one of them. If you are among the likes of John F. Kennedy, John Adams, and George H. W. Bush in calling Massachusetts home, you're in luck! Whether you want to run for the highest office of the land or not, we think you'll find excellent options that meet all of your internet needs in Massachusetts.
