Best Internet Providers in St. Helena Island

When you're shopping for the best internet on Saint Helena Island, SC, fiber is your top choice for speed and reliability. Brightspeed offers fiber internet with impressive download speeds of up to 940 Mbps, though its coverage is limited to 1.2% of the area. If you're lucky enough to be in one of those coverage zones, perhaps near the Saint Helena Branch Library or around Penn Center, this is your best option.

If Brightspeed's fiber isn't available in your area, your next best bet is cable internet. Xfinity provides extensive coverage on the island, reaching 87.4% of households with maximum download speeds up to 1.2 Gbps. This makes it a solid choice for high-speed internet access whether you're close to Fort Fremont or more centrally located.

But wired options aren't the only way to connect. Verizon offers 5G home internet, covering 9% of the island. While the speed caps at 50 Mbps, it's worth considering if you're in a compatible area, like near the local attractions of Chapel of Ease or Hunting Island Lighthouse.

Finally, if none of the above options work for you, Brightspeed also offers DSL internet service to a wider 96.5% of the island, providing a practical alternative even in more remote spots like Lands End or Frogmore. With a maximum speed of 80 Mbps, it's a dependable backup if fiber or cable aren't available where you live.
