The best part of satellite internet from providers like Hughesnet or Viasat is that you can get it almost anywhere—including every area of Los Angeles, even those that don't have traditional internet access.
Big cities usually have multiple internet provider options, so we want to make it clear: Satellite internet should be your second choice if you have reliable fiber internet or cable internet providers in your area. So before you sign up, make sure you don’t have cheaper (or faster) options available.
But there are plenty of people left without internet access in blackout pockets in big cities like LA (where cable providers have decided its not worth running cables to, money-wise), rural areas outside of LA, and homes in the mountains where land-based infrastructure can be trickier to layout. If that's you, satellite internet is the best choice to keep you connected.
Fortunately, satellite internet in Los Angeles is faster than ever. Hughesnet may only offer 100Mbps speeds (perfect for low-internet users and at a cheaper price), but Viasat and Starlink offer up to 150Mbps, with faster speeds planned in the future. 100Mbps is plenty internet speed for most people, so take a closer look at your satellite internet options in Los Angeles.
