Chesapeake is a part of the same metro area as Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and many others. Among them, the area has more than a million and a half people living in the area. Chesapeake is a more rural area, surrounded by farmland and protected forests. Even still, its residents still need access to fast, reliable connections and there's more than one provider in the area able to supply that.
There are five separate providers operating out of Chesapeake which is more than most of the Norfolk-Chesapeake-Virginia Beach metro area. They are Mediacom, HughesNet, ViaSat, Verizon, and Cox. These companies use a mix of DSL, cable, fiber, and satellite networks to provide their customers with high-speed internet connections.
Among the wired providers, Verizon and Cox are likely going to be your best options. Mediacom also provides wired service and has the fastest average speeds in the city, but its coverage area only covers a tiny portion of the city. Verizon, on the other hand, has the largest coverage area. Verizon operates off of a mix of fiber and DSL lines and offers a number of services. Internet connections, television, and home phone service are all available with the ability to bundle and package them together to meet all of your entertainment needs as well as your budget.
Cox also has a sizable coverage area and uses cable lines to provide its customers with service. Between Verizon and Cox, Verizon has the higher average speeds but Cox has a higher max speed. If you're looking for the absolute fastest internet in the city, Cox is going to be your best bet. It has particularly high coverage in areas like in the Chesapeake City and Portsmouth City school districts.
Chesapeake is continuing to develop as more and more people are moving out of the busier parts of the metro area. As they do, the internet providers in the city will continue to expand, update, and upgrade their lines to meet that growing demand.
