Scottsdale Residential Internet Coverage

The city of Scottsdale is sandwiched between Mesa and Phoenix, making it one of the largest metropolitan areas in Arizona. Several national internet service providers include this city in their networks.

Fiber internet is provided throughout Scottsdale by Centurylink Prism. The network almost reaches East Via Linda in the north and stretches down to Tempe in the south. From west to east, the network runs from Papago Park to Alma School Road. CenturyLink's DSL network is substantially larger, reaching beyond Scottsdale city limits to the north, west, and southern neighboring communities.

Through TW Telecom, those in most Scottsdale neighborhoods enjoy consistent high-speed internet access.

Another provider with a significant footprint in this area is Megapath. Not only does Megapath provide service to the entirety of Scottsdale, it reaches beyond city limits in all four directions to reach other communities.

The network of Level 3 Communications is well-established, extending far beyond northern and southern city limits while reaching the eastern limits of Scottsdale.

Thomas B | 08-23-2023

NetZero email is terribly unreliable. I have had numerous instances where I find out via text or postal mail or a third party email that their messages to my NetZero address resulted in mail failure. This is more than annoying when I am being sent automated emails by, for example, a financial institution or other company for dual authentication identify verification purposes, and the email does not arrive at all or arrives hours later, after the verification code has expired. I have engaged NetZero's tech support, and charged $25 for this service, and they have done nothing other than to tell me that I need to troubleshoot with the sender. Really? How to I troubleshoot this with a large corporation's IT department, who are sending automated notifications and ID verifications to all their customers via their standard process? In short, don't use NetZero email for anything important. Best to set up use a different email service, such as Gmail, where messages are received almost instantaneously.

I've been paying for 1GB for several years now. I've used their app for speed tests. I get 50 to 200 depending on the day and or time of day. Their excuse is the amount of devices using the system (1 computer, two phones and a couple tablets we hardly use.) When it was down 50 or less for quite a while, I went to the store and they set me up with new router. It helped for a little bit but I've never seen speeds above 210. I think they should charge for what you actually get and/or use. The charge for a GB sucks when you're receiving 75 to 80 percent less then you're paying for. That never seems to bother them.

Century Link makes me hopeful Google Fiber will come to Phoenix very soon. The speed and service isn't bad, it's just so expensive.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

  • Provider coverage areas 
  • Advertised speeds 
  • Real-world speeds (speed test data) 
  • Customer feedback
  • Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
