Sparks Residential Internet Coverage

Lying just east of the major city of Reno, Sparks is the ideal place to settle down, build a career, and enjoy high-speed internet service through tons of different providers. The city currently has over 90,000 residents who rely on the services provided by local and national ISPs.

Those who want high-speed fiber or DSL internet often choose AT&T, a national provider that covers much of Sparks. AT&T is available in almost every Sparks neighborhood, excluding the far southeastern communities of Virginia City Highlands and Foothills.

For customers who prefer the convenience and high-speed access provided by cable service, Charter is a popular option. Charter's service area runs far beyond the northern and southern city limits of Sparks. The service area runs through the central part of the city, stopping before it reaches the eastern areas of East Spanish Springs, South Spanish Springs, and Sparks Foothills.

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.
