Internet providers measured in Nebraska, ranked by speed
Median real-world speeds for the 5 fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Nebraska, 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 | ALLO Fiber | 294.1 | 164.4 | 24 ms | 250+ |
| 2 | Spectrum | 170.1 | 24.9 | 45 ms | 100+ |
| 3 | Cox | 155.0 | 38.3 | 24 ms | 250+ |
| 4 | Great Plains Communications | 108.3 | 105.1 | 25 ms | 100+ |
| 5 | CenturyLink | 57.5 | 73.0 | 40 ms | 100+ |
Measured in Nebraska and named rather than ranked: AT&T, T-Mobile US, Verizon. In Nebraska 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.
Also measured, with too few connections for a median we would stand behind: Windstream.
Internet in Nebraska: what the data shows
In Nebraska, the median real-world download speed is 125.7 Mbps, 14% below the median published state of 145.6 Mbps, ranking #34 of the 39 states and districts with enough data to publish.
Nebraska's ALLO Fiber reaches 294.1 Mbps against a state median of 125.7, the second-widest gap between a state's fastest provider and the state itself.
Uploads median 41.6 Mbps and latency 34 ms.
Desktop and mobile tests run at about the same median speed, with mobile making up 34% of tests.
Across the 5 fixed providers with enough connections to rank here, medians run from 294.1 Mbps (ALLO Fiber) down to 57.5 Mbps (CenturyLink), a 5.1× spread inside one state. Which network reaches an address matters more here than which state the address is in.
The Nebraska sample carries enough tests to name 9 providers, 3 counties and 2 cities and localities.
Figures are medians of 2k+ browser-based tests from 2k+ 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 Nebraska?
The median real-world download speed in Nebraska is 125.7 Mbps, with 41.6 Mbps upload and 34 ms latency, measured from 2k+ browser-based speed tests on SpeedOf.Me.
Where does Nebraska rank among US states?
Nebraska ranks #34 of the 39 states and districts we publish, 14% below 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 Nebraska?
Of the fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Nebraska, ALLO Fiber has the highest median real-world download speed at 294.1 Mbps, ahead of Spectrum at 170.1 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 Nebraska?
9 providers had enough tests in Nebraska to name: ALLO Fiber, AT&T, CenturyLink, Cox, Great Plains Communications, Spectrum, T-Mobile US, Verizon, Windstream. 5 of them carry a ranked median speed on this page: the rest are either a carrier's mobile network in Nebraska 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 Nebraska?
Tests run on phones and tablets, over home Wi-Fi or a cellular connection, are 34% of the Nebraska sample and median 122.4 Mbps. Tests run on desktops and laptops, which are almost always on a fixed line's Wi-Fi, median 128.0 Mbps. This is a device comparison, not a comparison of providers.
