WHY LOCAL WINS

Starlink is great for the middle of nowhere. But if you're in Northern Nevada, you deserve better — faster latency, local support, and no weather disruptions.

WE KNOW
YOUR TERRAIN

High Desert Internet was born in Fernley because we saw rural Nevada getting left behind by big cable companies. We built our towers here. We live here. We're your neighbors — not a satellite 300 miles overhead.

Line-of-Sight from Your Neighborhood

Our towers are 5–40 miles away — not 44,000 miles in orbit. That's why your gaming, Zoom calls, and streaming stay rock-solid even during a storm.

A Real Person Picks Up the Phone

Call (775) 575-9593 and talk to someone who knows Fernley, Fallon, Dayton, and the valleys in between. No offshore call center, no chatbot runaround.

20+ Years of Nevada Know-How

We've been connecting ranches, remote homes, and small businesses since before Starlink existed. We know which hills block signals and how to work around them.

CAN WE
REACH YOU?

Not every address works for fixed wireless — we'll tell you instantly. If you're in an apartment or somewhere we don't yet reach, we'll let you know honestly and add you to our expansion waitlist.

WHAT THEY SAY

★★★★★

"We live 12 miles outside of Fernley on our ranch and High Desert has been our only reliable internet for 10 years. It's never down for more than an hour, which is better than I can say for my sister's Spectrum in town."

★★★★★

"I switched from Starlink after the equipment fees and weather outages got old. High Desert's connection is faster for what I actually do — video calls and Netflix — and the price is way better."

SR
Sarah R.
Fernley · Former Starlink customer
★★★★★

"Doug picked up the phone on a Sunday when we had an issue. That's something Starlink or Spectrum would never do. That local service is priceless when you're running a small business from home."
