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.

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.

Our final take

If you are a Verizon mobile customer, it’s hard to beat $25-35/mo. for internet service. With the free Disney Bundle, easy set-up, 300 to 1,000 Mbps and a free Wi-Fi 6 router, Verizon’s 5G Home Internet service is a solid choice as your ISP if it’s available in your area.

If you aren’t a Verizon mobile customer, your monthly price will be a bit higher, $50 to 70/mo., which is in line with similar speed plans from AT&T and T-Mobile. Check out Allconnect’s comparison of 5G home internet services.

Verizon 5G Home Internet FAQs

How does 5G home internet work?

5G home internet is a fixed wireless service. An internet connection is sent from a fixed antenna to a nearby cellular tower. Currently, fixed wireless internet primarily exists through a 4G network and is mostly used in rural areas. However, more and more cellphone carriers are now launching 5G home internet across the nation.

Is 5G better than Wi-Fi or cable internet?

5G isn’t as readily available as Wi-Fi or cable internet as not all areas have access to 5G towers, and 4G fixed wireless speeds are significantly slower than you can expect from 5G. It is also more likely to slow down during busy times than other internet types.

Is Verizon 5G Home Internet fast enough?

You can expect to get between 300 and 1,000 Mbps in areas with 5G coverage, which can power your whole home with many connected devices, as well as support gaming, streaming and working from home. Keep in mind that these speeds are max speeds for both 5G plans — you may not get these exact speeds in your coverage area.

Can I get Verizon 5G Home Internet near me?

Currently, Verizon 5G Home Internet is available in about 900 cities across the U.S.
