Check your address →Cable Incumbent, Co-op Challenger
Optimum's cable plant has carried Mount Pleasant for years — about 73% of addresses get gigabit downloads from it. The challenger is Peoples Telephone Cooperative, which has pushed its fiber build east from Quitman into roughly a third of the city, selling symmetrical gigabit on a member-owned network; its fixed-wireless arm covers even more ground. Spectrum holds a sliver, and EarthLink-resold DSL is fading.
If Peoples' fiber has reached your street, it's usually the better long-term pick — symmetrical uploads and a co-op's pricing stability. Otherwise Optimum is the reliable gigabit default.
