It is the highest of the three published plans, made for large households and heavy downloading. Working from home on a video call. Stock photo: Adobe Stock, not High Desert customers or staff.

The company's plan cards, read October 15, 2026, give the numbers below, and each speed is a ceiling and not a promise. ## Who does Gold suit? Gold fits the household that has a little of everything: two remote workers, a streaming TV in every room, game consoles with multi-gigabyte updates, smart-home devices and cameras. The FCC's Household Broadband Guide puts busy multi-device homes in its Advanced band, anything above 25 Mbps, and calls the grid a rough guideline. A ceiling of up to 1 Gig leaves the largest margin. It also fits someone who moves big files, like a photographer sending images or a family that keeps a cloud library in sync. ## What do I get for the extra money compared with Silver? The download ceiling rises from up to 800 Mbps to up to 1 Gig, for $24 more a month than Silver. The upload ceiling stays at up to 200 Mbps. That means the gain is on the receiving side: large downloads, many streams and updates arriving at once. Your router and Wi-Fi often set the practical limit, so a good router matters; see [choosing a router to buy](https://hdiss.net/guides/choosing-a-router-to-buy/) and [Ethernet for the things that matter](https://hdiss.net/guides/ethernet-for-the-things-that-matter/). ## When is Gold more than I need? If your household is small and your use is steady, Bronze or Silver may already clear your needs with room to spare. The FCC's Broadband Speed Guide lists a minimum of 25 Mbps for one Ultra HD 4K stream, a long way under any of the three ceilings. Many customers choose by what happens at the busiest hour, not the average one. Our [household speed guide](https://hdiss.net/guides/how-much-speed-does-a-household-need/) helps you pick. ## What about upload? If your work depends on sending data, such as uploading video, running a server or backing up a business, the upload ceiling of up to 200 Mbps is the number to read. Ask about the ultra-low-latency service, up to 1 Gig / 1 Gig, described on [its own page](https://hdiss.net/internet-plans/gig-symmetrical/). It is available only in certain areas, and the company asks you to check whether it is in yours. ## What does the agreement say about data? Each service level has a data transfer limit set out in the service agreement. Email info@hdiss.net for the size that applies to Gold. Use above the limit is charged at $1 per gigabyte in a billing cycle. Fast plans move data quickly, so a heavy household should know its limit. The guide on [data transfer limits and your usage](https://hdiss.net/guides/data-transfer-limits-and-your-usage/) explains how to track it. ## Compared with the dish and the cable bill Gold is the plan to hold against the top of the other price lists. Starlink's Residential Max is $130 a month for up to 400+ Mbps, with the kit extra and “top Residential network priority” reserved for that tier (starlink.com, read 10/15/26). Spectrum's gigabit tier is $60 a month for one year and then a standard rate it does not print (spectrum.com, read 10/15/26); where that coax reaches, it is a fast wire. Gold is $99 a month with up to 1 Gig down and up to 200 Mbps up, no promotional year and no contract, and it reaches roofs the cable never will.

No. High Desert is a fixed wireless provider: a tower sends radio to an antenna on your home. ### Will I always get up to 1 Gig? No. Up to 1 Gig is a ceiling. Wi-Fi, your device and conditions change the result; see the [speed test page](https://hdiss.net/speed-test/).
