Internet providers measured in Missouri, ranked by speed
Median real-world speeds for the 8 fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Missouri, fastest first. These are the speeds their customers measured, not advertised plan speeds, and not a statement of who can be bought at a given address.
| # | Provider | Download | Upload | Latency | Connections |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Google Fiber | 289.1 | 151.5 | 10 ms | 500+ |
| 2 | Comcast | 267.2 | 82.2 | 30 ms | 100+ |
| 3 | Sparklight | 226.3 | 29.1 | 31 ms | 100+ |
| 4 | Mediacom | 212.1 | 25.7 | 32 ms | 100+ |
| 5 | Spectrum | 196.5 | 65.9 | 31 ms | 1k+ |
| 6 | Fidelity Communications | 188.7 | 50.1 | 29 ms | 100+ |
| 7 | AT&T | 142.8 | 85.6 | 33 ms | 1k+ |
| 8 | Starlink | 23.5 | 12.5 | 33 ms | 250+ |
Starlink is a satellite service: a single browser stream over a link with a long round trip measures well below the figures satellite operators quote, and the latency column shows why.
Measured in Missouri and named rather than ranked: T-Mobile US, Verizon. In Missouri each of these is the operator's mobile network rather than a wired home line, and a browser test cannot tell a phone from a 5G home gateway on the same network. Ranking them beside fibre and cable would compare two different products.
Internet in Missouri: what the data shows
In Missouri, the median real-world download speed is 148.4 Mbps, 2% above the median published state of 145.6 Mbps, ranking #17 of the 39 states and districts with enough data to publish.
Missouri's leader is close to twice the state median, at 289.1 Mbps against 148.4.
Uploads median 48.4 Mbps and latency 33 ms.
Mobile tests run about 1.1× faster than desktop, and mobile is 35% of tests.
Across the 8 fixed providers with enough connections to rank here, medians run from 289.1 Mbps (Google Fiber) down to 23.5 Mbps (Starlink), a 12.3× spread inside one state. Which network reaches an address matters more here than which state the address is in.
The Missouri sample carries enough tests to name 10 providers, 12 counties and 20 cities and localities.
Figures are medians of 10k+ browser-based tests from 5k+ distinct connections, first half of 2026. Each connection counts at most three times, third-party sources are capped, and datacenter networks are excluded, so one busy line cannot move a state. That makes these numbers a different series from the national figure on the United States page, and they are not directly comparable to it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average internet speed in Missouri?
The median real-world download speed in Missouri is 148.4 Mbps, with 48.4 Mbps upload and 33 ms latency, measured from 10k+ browser-based speed tests on SpeedOf.Me.
Where does Missouri rank among US states?
Missouri ranks #17 of the 39 states and districts we publish, 2% above the median published state. We publish a state only where at least 2,000 distinct connections back the number, so 12 of the 51 are not listed at all.
Why is this lower than the speed my provider advertises?
An advertised speed is the maximum the line can carry. This is a real-world measurement through a browser to neutral servers on the open internet, which is what a video call, a download or a game actually gets. Wi-Fi, the device and time of day all sit between the two.
Which internet provider is fastest in Missouri?
Of the fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Missouri, Google Fiber has the highest median real-world download speed at 289.1 Mbps, ahead of Comcast at 267.2 Mbps. That is the median its customers measured here, not an advertised plan speed, and a provider is only as fast as the line that reaches your address.
Which internet providers were measured in Missouri?
10 providers had enough tests in Missouri to name: AT&T, Comcast, Fidelity Communications, Google Fiber, Mediacom, Sparklight, Spectrum, Starlink, T-Mobile US, Verizon. 8 of them carry a ranked median speed on this page: the rest are either a carrier's mobile network in Missouri rather than a wired home line, or below the 100 distinct connections we require before publishing a median. That list is not a market-share estimate or a statement of who can be bought at a given address.
Are speeds on phones lower than on computers in Missouri?
Tests run on phones and tablets, over home Wi-Fi or a cellular connection, are 35% of the Missouri sample and median 156.2 Mbps. Tests run on desktops and laptops, which are almost always on a fixed line's Wi-Fi, median 144.4 Mbps. This is a device comparison, not a comparison of providers.
