Ohio has diverse internet options, especially in cities

Ohio has a variety of internet providers, offering different speeds and services across the state. According to a recent ranking, Ohio is among the top 20 states in the U.S. for decent internet access. However, the quality of internet varies based on where you live. In urban areas, most residents can choose from several internet providers and enjoy fast speeds, including gig-level options. Cities like Cincinnati have better access to fiber connections. Unfortunately, less than one-third of Ohio households can access fiber internet, and rural areas may find it challenging to get reliable speeds at affordable prices. AT&T Fiber is a leading internet option in Ohio. However, its fastest plan, which offers speeds of 5,000 Mbps, is not yet available everywhere. Spectrum is another popular choice and has a wider coverage area than AT&T. If both AT&T and Spectrum are available in your area, it’s important to consider the type of service you need. AT&T's DSL service is slower compared to its fiber offering and falls behind the speed of Spectrum. For those who can access fiber, it generally provides better upload and download speeds. Overall, having fiber access is beneficial if you can get it.
