Internet Service Details in Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh, PA is the second-most populous city in the state with over two million people living within its metro area. The city has become one of the tech hubs on the East Coast with an expected 1600 technology companies as of 2010. With such a tech-savvy population, high-speed internet access is going to be a priority. Luckily, there are multiple internet service providers available in the area ready to connect Pittsburgh's citizens.

For a city of its size, Pittsburgh has fewer options than you'd expect. With that being said, the four providers available in the area have outstanding service. Nearly the entire city has access to fiber lines which can provide some of the fastest internet connections in the nation. Xfinity, Verizon, ViaSat, and HughesNet all offer service, using a mix of cable, DSL, fiber, and satellite networks. The entire city will have at least one provider available so regardless of whether in Woodland Hills, Northgate, or Keystone Oaks, accessing the internet should be no problem.

Among wired providers, there's Xfinity and Verizon. For most consumers, a wired connection tends to be preferable as they tend to be more reliable and capable of faster speeds. Between these two, Verizon has a slightly larger network. Verizon uses a combination of DSL and fiber, with a majority of its network using fiber lines. Fiber has become increasingly popular as it can deliver incredible speeds while not being bogged down by network congestion like other forms of internet. With that being said, Xfinity's cable network is able to produce as fast connections and can actually boast higher average speeds. Xfinity's coverage is slightly smaller than Verizon's but not by much. Chances are, both providers will be available at your address. That's great news as you can compare the two and come to the best possible choice for your household.
