What is the best internet provider in Sedona?
T-Mobile Home Internet is the best internet provider in Sedona, with decent speeds and affordable pricing locked in for as long as you stay a customer. Optimum’s cable internet service is our choice for the best cheap internet in the city, but be prepared for prices to increase by $25 a month in the second year. Starlink offers some of the fastest speeds in the area, but it requires an expensive equipment purchase when you sign up for service.

Our methodology
CNET considers speeds, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service in Sedona across a number of categories. Our evaluation includes referencing a proprietary database built over years of reviewing internet services. We validate that against provider information by spot-checking local addresses for service availability. We also do a close read of providers’ terms and conditions and, when needed, will call ISPs to verify the details.
Despite our efforts to find the most recent and accurate information, our process has some limitations you should know about. Pricing and speed data are variable: certain addresses may qualify for different tiers of service, and monthly costs may vary, even within a city. The best way to identify your particular options is to plug your address into a provider’s website.
Also, the prices, speed and other information listed above and in the provider cards below may differ from what we found in our research. The cards display the full range of a provider’s pricing and speed across the US, according to our database of plan information provided directly by ISPs, while the text is specific to what’s available in Sedona. The prices referenced within this article’s text come from our research and include applicable discounts for setting up automatic payments each month — a standard industry offering. Other discounts and promotions might be available as well, for things like signing a term contract or bundling with multiple services.

T-Mobile Home Internet
Best internet provider in Sedona, AZ
Product details
I usually recommend T-Mobile for smaller households that don’t need a ton of bandwidth, but in Sedona, it’s the fastest provider available, with speeds up to 245Mbps. There are no equipment fees, data caps or contracts, and T-Mobile also has the highest approval rating of any non-fiber ISP in the country, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
Availability: T-Mobile Home Internet is available to 82% of Sedona residents, according to FCC data.
Plans and pricing: T-Mobile only offers one plan for $50 a month, and it’s locked in for as long as you remain a customer. Download speeds go up to 245Mbps on average, and upload speeds reach 31Mbps.
Fees and service details: T-Mobile Home Internet doesn’t have contracts or data caps, and customers can try out the service for 15 days on a “worry-free” trial. You can also save $20 monthly by bundling with an eligible T-Mobile cellphone plan.

Optimum
Cheapest internet in Sedona, AZ
Product details
Optimum offers cable internet almost everywhere in Sedona, and in most cities, that would be enough to nab our top spot. But Optimum’s plans top out at 150Mbps in Sedona — slower and more expensive than T-Mobile’s plan. If you’re looking for the cheapest internet possible, Optimum’s plans start at just $40 a month, although each plan increases by $25 per month in year two. That has understandably resulted in some frustrated customers; Optimum received the lowest score of any ISP in the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index report.
Availability: Optimum is available to 90% of Sedona residents.
Plans and pricing: Three Optimum internet plans are available in Sedona: 75/5Mbps for $40 a month, 100/5Mbps for $60 and 150/7.5Mbps for $80. All plans increase by $25 a month in the second year.
Fees and service details: Optimum includes unlimited data and equipment with all its plans, and no contracts are required.

Starlink
Best satellite internet in Sedona, AZ
Product details
Satellite service is hardly anyone’s first choice for internet. However, Starlink is still one of the best options in Sedona, with speeds up to 220Mbps and much lower latency than other satellite providers. The main downside is price: Starlink costs $120 a month and requires a $599 equipment purchase.
Availability: Starlink is available to 100% of Sedona residents.
Plans and pricing: Starlink costs $120 a month. It provides average download speeds between 25 and 220Mbps and upload speeds between 5 and 20Mbps.
Fees and service details: You’ll have to pay $599 upfront to purchase Starlink’s satellite dish (plus another $50 for shipping). There are no contracts or hard data caps.

Other available internet providers in Sedona
- CenturyLink: CenturyLink only offers DSL plans in Sedona, which is significantly slower than cable or fiber. I checked five different Sedona addresses and found five different speeds offered at each one, ranging from 3 to 60Mbps, for $55 a month. If you can get one of the faster speeds at your address, it’s worth considering if you can’t get Optimum, T-Mobile or Verizon. Equipment adds another $15 monthly, but all plans get unlimited data.
- CIS Broadband: CIS is a local fixed wireless provider in Sedona, and it’s only worth considering if your only other options are satellite or DSL. Plans start at $50 monthly for 8/2Mbps speeds and go up to 25/6Mbps for $90.
- Satellite internet: HughesNet and Viasat are available everywhere in Sedona, but you’re better off with almost every other option. (CIS may be the only exception.) They come with slow speeds, expensive prices and low data caps that make things like streaming TV impractical. If you are considering satellite, Starlink is your best bet — you have to buy the equipment for $599 upfront, but HughesNet and Viasat charge $15 a month for equipment.
- Verizon 5G Home Internet: If it were more widely available, Verizon 5G Home Internet would likely be one of our top picks. If you’re part of the 25% of Sedona residents that can get it, Verizon offers speeds up to 1,000Mbps for only $70 a month. Bundling with an eligible Verizon Wireless plan can also get you some significant savings.
Cheap internet options in Sedona
Sedona residents don’t have a ton of options when it comes to cheap internet. Optimum offers the cheapest starting price at just $40 a month, but that increases to $65 after just one year. T-Mobile and Verizon are your best bets for cheap internet in the long term, and you can get meaningful discounts if you bundle with one of their eligible cellphone plans.

What’s a good internet speed?
Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you’re looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you’ll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here’s an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines — and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.
For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need
- 0 to 5Mbps allows you to tackle the basics — browsing the internet, sending and receiving email, streaming low-quality video.
- 5 to 40Mbps gives you higher-quality video streaming and videoconferencing.
- 40 to 100Mbps should give one person sufficient bandwidth to satisfy the demands of modern telecommuting, video streaming and online gaming.
- 100 to 500Mbps allows one or two people to engage in high-bandwidth activities like videoconferencing, streaming and online gaming. simultaneously.
- 500 to 1,000Mbps allows three or more people to engage in high-bandwidth activities like videoconferencing, streaming and online gaming simultaneously.
How CNET chose the best internet providers in Sedona
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. So what’s our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary database of pricing, availability and speed information that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.
This guide leverages an in-house artificial intelligence tool called RAMP, which is trained on our own writing and uses our database to generate content about specific internet service providers that our writers can use in determining and presenting our picks for a given guide. Check CNET’s AI policy for more information about how our teams use (and don’t use) AI tools.
Because our database is not exhaustive, we go to the FCC’s website to check the primary data for ourselves and make sure we’re considering every ISP that provides service in an area. Plans and prices also vary by location, so we input local addresses on provider websites to find the specific options available to residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of the time of our pre-publication fact-check.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
- Does the provider offer access to reasonably fast internet speeds?
- Do customers get decent value for what they’re paying?
- Are customers happy with their service?
While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When it comes to selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, though we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward.

What’s the final word on internet providers in Sedona?
Living in Sedona has a lot of perks, but the internet isn’t one of them. Our top pick, T-Mobile Home Internet, is typically the third or fourth best option when we look at internet providers in a city. In Sedona, T-Mobile is the best provider, offering fast speeds and fair prices. Optimum’s cable internet service has a lower starting price, but prices increase by $25 a month after the first year. Starlink is a decent backup option that offers faster speeds than Optimum, but you’ll have to buy the equipment for $599 upfront.
