Citynet GIG Fiber Offers Faster Speeds at Half the Cost of Starlink® - With No Data Caps, Equipment Costs, or Hidden Fees
Citynet Costs Less for Better Performance
Citynet GIG Fiber costs significantly less than Starlink®, often by more than half the price. While Starlink® can be costly, Citynet offers affordable rates for high-speed fiber with no contracts required, allowing customers to enjoy excellent service without long-term commitments.
Plus, Citynet does not charge for equipment like the WiFi internet gateway, and there are no installation costs, making it a much more straightforward and affordable option than Starlink's® costly equipment charges and service fees.
Additionally, Citynet provides discounts for auto-pay and email invoicing, making Citynet GIG Fiber even more cost-effective.
Speed and Consistency
Citynet GIG Fiber offers symmetrical GIG internet - 1000/1000 Mbps for both upload and download speed, delivering consistent high-speed performance.
Starlink®, while capable of providing decent speeds, often has variable performance due to satellite congestion and interference from weather conditions, resulting in slower speeds and latency. People often pay more for Starlink’s® slower speeds and reduced reliability, which can be frustrating for customers who need stable, high-speed internet.
Reliability
Citynet GIG Fiber is less susceptible to environmental factors such as weather, trees, and obstructions, unlike Starlink®, which relies on satellite communication. Heavy rain, snow, or cloud cover can disrupt satellite signals, leading to service interruptions with Starlink®.
Latency*
Citynet GIG Fiber provides very low latency, which is crucial for gaming, video conferencing, and real-time applications. Latency on fiber can be as low as 5-15 milliseconds, while Starlink® has higher latency (often around 25-50 milliseconds) due to the distance signals travel to and from space
Scalability
Fiber networks like Citynet’s are highly scalable, meaning they can handle future increases in data demands without major infrastructure changes. Starlink® is limited by satellite bandwidth and will require additional satellites to meet higher demands, potentially leading to congestion as more users are added.
Unlimited Data
Citynet GIG Fiber offers unlimited data, allowing customers to stream, download, and upload without worrying about data caps or throttling. Starlink®, while currently offering unlimited data, has announced plans to implement data caps in the future, which may lead to throttling after a certain threshold is reached.
Outstanding, West Virginia-Based Customer Support
Citynet is a proud West Virginia-owned company offering around-the-clock, 24/7/365 customer support. Customers benefit from expert, local, personalized service and direct contact with technicians who understand the region. Starlink® support, while available, is remote and can be less accessible in terms of response time and problem resolution.
With Citynet’s ongoing expansion into rural West Virginia, more residents will have access to high-speed fiber internet, making it a superior choice over Starlink® for urban and rural areas.

*Latency is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to the internet and back. Think of it like sending a message: low latency means your message gets there and back quickly, like a fast text conversation. High latency is like a delayed conversation, where you send a message, but it takes longer to get a reply. In online activities like video calls, gaming, or streaming, low latency means less lag or delay, making everything run smoother and in real-time.
