Common questions

Who is the best internet provider near me?

It depends on what reaches your address. Where fiber is available, AT&T Fiber (from $50) or Verizon Fios (from $30) is usually the best pick. Without fiber, T-Mobile 5G Home at $50 is the best value, and Starlink (from $55) covers rural homes. Enter your ZIP above to see your options.

What is the cheapest internet?

NOW Internet is $30/mo all-in, with taxes and equipment included. Spectrum also starts at $30/mo. Check what the price becomes after year one before you sign.

How do I find out which internet providers are in my area?

Enter your ZIP code or town in the search box above. We list every provider that reports service there to the FCC, with its connection type and starting price. Then confirm availability for your exact address with the provider before you order.

Is fiber better than cable?

Usually, yes. Fiber uploads as fast as it downloads, has lower lag and its prices rarely jump after year one. Cable is available in more places and can be cheaper for the first year. If both reach you, pick fiber.

What internet speed do I need?

300 Mbps covers most homes of up to four people, including 4K streaming, video calls and gaming. One or two light users can get by on 100 Mbps. Go for 1 Gig only if you upload large files or have many heavy users.

Is 5G home internet worth it?

Yes, if the signal at your address is strong. T-Mobile and Verizon 5G Home cost $50/mo with no contract or data cap, and T-Mobile locks its price for 5 years. Speeds vary more than on fiber or cable, so check coverage first.

Can you tell me what's available at my exact address?

Not to the street, but we can tell you who serves your town. We report what providers filed with the FCC for your town. At the street level it can differ — a fiber line that reaches most of a town can stop at the end of one road. Use our figures to know who to call, then confirm with the provider before you sign.

Why does the data list a provider I can't actually get?

Because providers report where they could install within ten business days, not where they already have customers. It is a claim about capability, and it is theirs, not ours. Where readers tell us a listing is wrong we flag it.

Is this free? How do you make money?

Free, and no account. Some links to providers earn us a commission if you sign up. That never changes the rankings or the coverage figures — those come from federal filings we do not control. Full detail in our advertiser disclosure.

What if satellite is my only real option?

On a lot of rural pages it is. Starlink, Hughesnet and Viasat reach essentially everywhere, and where no wired provider covers more than a fraction of a town, satellite is the honest answer rather than a consolation prize. We say so on those pages.

How current is this?

The FCC publishes twice a year. We are on the filing period ending 31 December 2025, published August 2026. Our town and city pages each carry the filing date they were built from, so you can see for yourself rather than trusting a vague "updated recently".

Do you sell my address or ZIP code?

No. We do not sell, rent or share what you type into the lookup box.
