What kind of internet should I get with DISH TV?

DISH offers TV and internet bundles with Frontier and Viasat. But that doesn’t mean you have to go with one of these options if you want internet service with your DISH TV service—you probably have several other internet providers in your area and they might be a better choice.

If you’re living in a rural area, a Viasat satellite internet and DISH satellite TV bundle may be your best choice. But if your area has other internet options, be sure to check them out.

Depending on where you live, you might also have cable, DSL, fixed-wireless, or fiber internet service in your area that you can bundle with DISH TV. Most of these types of internet offer more data each month at a better price than satellite internet.

Some areas can also get 4G LTE home internet service from Verizon or T-Mobile, which can be more cost-effective than a satellite plan. For more information on selecting an internet package to go with your DISH TV plan, check out our guide to the best internet options for rural areas.

The future of DISH internet is 5G

DISH is actively working on building 5G networks throughout the US, which could prove useful for many Americans who live in suburbs and small towns and have limited internet options. 5G mobile plans often offer unlimited data, allowing customers to use the service for both home internet and for mobile phone service.

DISH acquired Boost Mobile and signed vendor deals with 5G fiber vendors, DISH is poised to become the fourth major mobile phone carrier in the US. DISH announced plans to build 5G infrastructure and has committed to deliver broadband coverage to 70% of the US by mid-2023.
