Horry Telephone Cooperative is the Myrtle Beach area’s best internet service provider. HTC, the largest fiber-optic internet provider in Myrtle Beach, offers fast speeds and simple service terms along with the customer care and accessibility of a locally headquartered business. Around 50% of Myrtle Beach households are eligible for fiber internet, according to the FCC .
Serviceability is greatest south of the airport, but neighborhoods around Broadway at the beach and the Pine Lakes Golf Club also have decent fiber availability. HTC is the largest fiber internet provider in Myrtle Beach, but Frontier Fiber also has a small presence in the city. Frontier Fiber’s availability is largely limited to North Myrtle Beach.
Between Frontier Fiber and HTC, fiber internet is available to a little over 70% of North Myrtle Beach households, per the FCC . Frontier has the lowest starting rate (for fast internet speeds) for internet in Myrtle Beach at $30 per month for maximum download speeds of 500Mbps, around 6 cents per Mbps. Frontier increases monthly pricing after 12 months, bringing this 500Mbps plan to $55 per month after the year commitment is over.
Frontier's 200Mbps starts at $30 per month, which increases to $40 per month after one year. On the other hand, HTC's 1,000Mbps plan begins at $55 per month and increases to $80 per month after 12 months, which is still reasonable considering the broadband speeds and HTC's coverage of Myrtle Beach. When choosing a cheap broadband price, consider the yearly price increases, overall broadband speed and the cost per Mbps to ensure you're getting a good deal.
Frontier Fiber offers the fastest internet plan in Myrtle Beach at up to 5,000Mbps starting at $130 monthly but currently discounted to $90. Service is largely limited to North Myrtle Beach. Spectrum and HTC have the greatest gig speed availability in Myrtle Beach, offering speeds up to 1,000Mbps starting at $70 and $55 per month, respectively.
