Our methodology

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 400 Mbps plan got a 4.16.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Spectrum: Best overall

Spectrum is a widely-available provider in Lexington offering speeds from 300 to 1,000 Mbps. Spectrum also has a very low equipment fee of just $5/mo., cheaper than the $10 – $15/mo. fees that other providers tend to have.

What we like about Spectrum

  • No data caps or contracts: You don’t need to worry about your internet use or ending your contract early with Spectrum.

  • Low equipment fees – Spectrum charges $5/mo. for router rental and provides a free modem compared to the $10-15/mo. from other providers.

Things to consider

  • Slow upload speeds – Spectrum’s upload speeds of 10 to 35 Mbps are on the lower end when compared to other providers.

  • Price hikes: Spectrum’s plan costs jump significantly after the first 12 months.

T-Mobile: Best for availability

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has widespread availability with no hidden fees, price hikes or contracts. If you’re looking for a simple plan, T-Mobile is a great choice at $50/mo.

Why we like T-Mobile

  • Availability: T-Mobile is available to 95% of Louisville.

  • Simple pricing: T-Mobile has one price, $50/mo. for speeds up to 254 Mbps.

Things to consider

  • Location matters: Your proximity to a cell tower determines your speed.

  • Inconsistent speeds: Speeds can jump up and down much more than cable or fiber service does.

AT&T: Best for fast fiber speeds

AT&T is a great option if you want fiber internet for a good price, without equipment fees or contracts to worry about. Plans start at $55/mo. with unlimited data and are available in a large portion of the U.S.

Why we like AT&T

  • No contracts – AT&T has no contracts, so you won’t be hit with early termination fees if you decide to cancel your service.

  • Unlimited data – AT&T lets you use as much data as you want, so there are no overage charges.

Things to consider

  • Fiber availability: AT&T’s highest speed for fiber at 4,700 Mbps isn’t widely available.
