What we like about Nextlink

  • Flexible plans – All plans have month-to-month options, most also have a two-year agreement option
  • Wide range of speeds – Helps you get the speed that makes the most sense for your internet use, leading to less of a chance for an outage
  • Prices – Plans start at a price range that is fairly standard for the industry
  • Upload speeds – Tend to be much slower than download speeds, a 15/3 Mbps upload/download ratio
  • Pricier month-to-month plan – Month-to-month options are more expensive than the two-year agreement options
