When you think of Nebraska, the word "corn" comes to mind. After all, it is the Cornhusker State. And while corn is an amazing crop, suitable for things like biofuels and synthetic plastics, nobody has figured out how to run the internet on corn... yet. Luckily for all of us, there are 86 internet providers operating in Nebraska, offering average download speeds of 47.47 Mbps.
Nebraska is ranked 19th in the nation for fiber access, covering 28 percent of the state. Cable covers 83 percent of the state, while DSL covers 94 percent, making Nebraska the 11th best state for DSL coverage. Considering its status as a rural state with only 1.9 million people, Nebraska punches well above its weight for internet access. Folks there might be farming, but they're apt to be streaming their favorite podcast while they do it.
Of course, snaking the internet out through all those cornfields isn't cheap. Nebraska has a relatively high average price per Mbps of $0.71, although a lower average monthly price of $62.96 helps to make up for this cost.
Internet speed demons in Nebraska will be interested to know that two teeny-tiny towns in Nebraska's panhandle lead the pack: Sidney and Chadron. The most available download speed in both towns is up to 100 Mbps, with upload speeds up to 5 Mbps in Sidney and 2 Mbps in Chadron. However, when it comes to the number of providers, competition is fiercest in Nebraska's biggest and most famous city, Omaha. In addition to being the home of Gallop Polling, the Reuben sandwich, and billionaire investor Warren Buffet, Omaha also hosts 37 different internet providers. Nebraska's capital at Lincoln comes in second with 31 internet providers. Whether you're scrolling with your iPad on the prairie, trading bitcoins amongst the corn, or streaming an e-learning course from your apartment in Omaha, internet access is widely available in Nebraska. To get a grasp of how internet access varies throughout the state, take a look at the tables, graphs, and tools below made by our internet experts.
