Louisiana
Fastest ISP EATEL
Fiber matters. In Ascension Parish, along I-10 between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, 80-year-old local phone company EATEL laid down an all-fiber network that's one of the nation's fastest. It's a very unusual high-speed network for a rural region, putting towns like Gonzales and Brittany on par with high-tech centers across America. Bringing fiber all the way to individual homes makes EATEL the fastest Internet provider in Louisiana.

Fastest Mobile Network Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless is America's LTE network king. An excellent nationwide buildout, broad swathes of 1700Mhz "XLTE" spectrum, and broad support for that spectrum across its phones meant that Verizon won more of our tested metro areas than any other.
