West Virginia might be the land of string bands, miners, and mountains, but it's also one of the least developed states in the U.S., leaving internet in a state of development, too. The average download speed in West Virginia is 21.99 Mbps, placing West Virginia at 49th in the nation. The state's 44 internet providers rely the most on DSL to reach their customers with 88 percent coverage, making West Virginia 29th in the U.S. for DSL coverage. However, cable covers 71 percent and fiber just 2 percent of the state, some of the lowest rates in the nation for these connection types. But hey, it's hard to fault internet providers for the lack in coverage. There's a whole lot of mountains and country roads to work around.
Considering the current state of internet in West Virginia, providers would dig themselves quite a hole if they tried to charge high prices. And, in fact, the state has some of the best internet prices in the U.S. The average price per month for internet in West Virginia is $49.39, the lowest price in the U.S., while the average price per Mbps is $0.36, 6th best in the nation. Prices like that are sure to get a few West Virginian fiddlers to play some happy tunes.
West Virginia legend tells of a longtime feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. So, it seems only appropriate there's a rivalry brewing for the fastest internet in West Virginia between two towns in Wyoming County. On one side, you've got the town of Pineville, famous for its Castle Rock geological formation. On the other, you've got nearby Brenton on the Guyandotte River. Both of these towns boast most available download speeds up to 101 Mbps and upload speeds up to 10 Mbps. For internet provider choice, West Virginia's capital and largest city Charleston takes the crown with 23 internet providers. Coming in second, Morgantown, the home of West Virginia University, has 20 internet providers for its residents. West Virginia might not feature all the bells and whistles of other states, but what it lacks in development, it makes up for in culture, beautiful scenery, and yes, affordable internet. For a full rundown on internet services in West Virginia, take a look at the data, graphs, and tools our experts assembled below.
