Fiber internet providers are likely to offer the fastest, most consistent speeds for the money.

If you’re shopping for cheap internet, a DSL provider may be the best option for your household.
Yes. Fiber-optic internet is a completely different technology than DSL or cable internet, and therefore requires a different type of modem. In many cases, you can get the required modem from your internet provider at no extra cost.
