Overview of internet satisfaction and availability in Missouri

Missouri has amazing internet in certain areas, as well as some major gaps in places like the Ozarks. Kansas City was the first Google Fiber city and other major providers quickly rushed in with their own high-speed fiber networks. You can now find multigigabit fiber plans in many other Missouri cities, such as St. Louis and Jefferson City.

Rural Indiana residents have fewer wired options, but can get internet access through satellite providers like Viasat, HughesNet, and Starlink, or through ground-based wireless networks like T-Mobile.

Internet providers received an average satisfaction rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars from customers in Missouri.
