How fast is Biloxi broadband?

Some homes in Biloxi have the luxury of fiber internet from AT&T Fiber or C Spire Fiber. Both providers offer robust multi-gig plans that will keep your internet experience growing. However, limited availability means many residents only have access to Sparklight’s cable service, which arrives close to a concert. Biloxi residents generally have access to fairly fast Internet service. A recent Ookla speed test report showed an average fixed internet download speed of 211 Mbps for the city. These are good results compared to the 205 Mbps figure for Mississippi. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

What is a good internet speed?

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you’re looking for an Internet plan that can accommodate video conferencing, video streaming, or gaming, you’ll have a better experience with a stronger connection. Here is a summary of the minimum recommended download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are guidelines only — and that Internet speed, service, and performance vary by connection type, provider, and address.

For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.

• 0 to 5 Mbps lets you get by with the basics — surfing the web, sending and receiving email, streaming low-quality video.
• 5 to 40 Mbps gives you the highest quality video streaming and video conferencing.
• 40 to 100 Mbps should give a user enough bandwidth to meet the demands of modern telecommunications, video streaming and online gaming.
• 100 to 500 Mbps allows one to two users to simultaneously engage in high-bandwidth activities such as video conferencing, streaming, and online gaming.
• 500 to 1000 Mbps allows three or more users to engage in high-bandwidth activities at the same time.

How CNET picked the best Internet providers in Biloxi

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen appliance, it’s impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. So what is our approach? For starters, we use a proprietary database of pricing, availability, and speed information that is based on our historical ISP data, partner data, and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.

But it doesn’t end there. We go to the FCC website to check our records and make sure we account for every ISP that provides service in an area. We also enter local addresses into provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look to sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and JD Power, to gauge how satisfied customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent change and all information provided is accurate as of publication.

Once we have this localized information, we ask three key questions:

• Does the provider offer access to reasonably fast internet speeds?
• Are customers getting good value for what they are paying for?
• Are customers satisfied with their service?

While the answers to these questions are often layered and complex, the providers that come closest to “yes” to all three are the ones we recommend. When choosing the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also take into account things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively simple. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports.
