How we scored internet providers

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.

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 1 to 5, 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 3 and 4. 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.

Allconnect’s affordable choice: AT&T 

Cox may have the cheapest starting prices, but AT&T is the more affordable option long-term due to Cox’s dramatic price increases after the first year. AT&T is also a much better deal since it offers significantly faster speeds for only $5/mo. more.

4.05 / 5

AT&T: Best overall value 

AT&T fiber is one of the best options in the country for internet service. AT&T fiber offers three internet speeds, 300, 500 and 940 Mbps and with any of these plans, you will receive symmetrical download/upload speeds. AT&T DSL is not as attractive of an option since you will have to pay a higher price for slower speeds, but it’s still a better option than satellite internet.
