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

AT&T offers some of the affordable internet packages in the country. For just $35/mo., customers get access to up to 300/300 (download/upload) Mbps. In order to get those speeds with Xfinity, you would have to pay $15-$30/mo. more. In fact, even though Xfinity offers the cheapest starting plan at $20/mo. for 50 Mbps, the price will increase to $50/mo. after the first year, so you are still better off going with AT&T to save money in the long-run.
