TDS provides wired internet services (fiber, cable, and DSL) across 20 states, with cable reaching 6 states and fiber reaching 21 states. The provider's greatest coverage is in Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Alabama. In addition to internet services, TDS also offers TV and home phone. The provider is working on expanding its fiber internet footprint and has currently surpassed over 1 million serviceable locations.
TDS understands that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why they offer multiple TDS internet packages with speeds and prices that best suit your needs. Here's a quick overview of what TDS brings to the table.

Despite having limited availability, TDS could be the right move if any of their internet connection types are available in your area. With competitive plan prices and plenty of speed options (not to mention a 30-day money-back guarantee), we think it's worth giving TDS a try.
TDS is rapidly expanding its fiber footprint in suburban and rural markets, offering a "Price Lock" guarantee that shields you from surprise annual rate hikes. The easiest way to get a deal is to bundle your internet with their TV service, which almost always triggers free installation and hundreds of dollars in promotional gift cards.
TDS may not be charting on satisfaction surveys, but that doesn't mean the provider isn't well regarded by customers. Online reviews we checked out for TDS show the customer service team is friendly, responsive, and educated on assisting with any issues. Some customers reported outages throughout the year, but most don't experience any outage issues.
Locking into a contract can elicit all kinds of worries. What happens if you plan to move? Will you have to pay early termination fees (ETFs)? We get it! TDS eliminates those worries with contract-free plans across all connection types.
Another very real fear for customers comes in the form of data caps. No one (us included) likes to deal with slower internet speeds after reaching a data limit. There's good and bad news where TDS is concerned. The provider's fiber and cable plans don't have data caps, but its DSL internet, unfortunately, does.
| Connection type | Data cap |
|---|---|
| Fiber | Unlimited |
| Cable | Unlimited |
| DSL | 250 GB |
Wired internet connections are TDS's bread and butter. The provider offers service for all wired internet types: fiber, cable, and DSL.
| Connection type | Starting price | Download speeds (up to) |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber | $49.99 per month | 8 Gbps |
| Cable | $69.99 per month | 1 Gbps |
| DSL | $49.99 per month | 100 Mbps |
Fiber, cable, and DSL service from TDS is available to up to 20 states across the U.S
TDS's fiber plans start at $49.99 per month, cable plans start at $69.99 per month, and DSL internet plans start at $49.99 per month.
It depends. TDS fiber and cable plans do not impose data caps. However, the provider's DSL plans cap out at 250 GB.
The fastest internet plan offered by TDS is through its fiber internet service, with speed plans up to 8 Gbps.
TDS offers a $50 bill credit when you sign up for your internet service online.
