Why is your location important when picking an internet provider?
Internet service provider availability varies by location, so you must check internet providers available at your specific address to ensure accurate serviceability.
Your ZIP code and individual address can even determine the internet speed and the type of internet connections offered nearby. Metro areas often have more internet availability and a greater variety of providers, like fast fiber optic internet or 5G connections, whereas small rural areas may only have slower DSL or satellite options.
Due to less competition in rural areas, internet prices can be higher than in cities, and involve extra costs like dish installation for satellite internet.

Customer reviews of top internet providers
- Allconnect surveyed over 20,000 internet customers about their internet providers based on price, speed, customer service and reliability
- Overall, Verizon and Xfinity have some of the highest customer satisfaction scores across all survey categories (price, speed, reliability and customer service)
Allconnect asked over 20,000 internet customers what they think about their current internet providers. We summarized the results in our 2024 broadband customer satisfaction report. Even the best internet providers tend to have low customer satisfaction ratings in general, but these reviews from real internet customers can offer some helpful insight into the pros and cons of each top ISP.
Tips for choosing the best internet provider
From there, you can pick a provider offering the speed you need at a price that works for you. For example, a family of four that regularly streams/games on multiple devices at the same time will likely need at least 100 Mbps to avoid buffering frustrations. Take our speed test and determine if you need more or less speed according to these criteria.
Test your speed here.
Rural areas may only have DSL, satellite or 5G home internet options, with speeds up to 300 Mbps, which may impact internet use or the number of devices that can be connected to the network. Satellite is available to about 99% of all addresses, and 50% can get 5G.
Types of internet technology available
5G providers can provide speeds as fast as 1,000 Mbps in some areas, but remember, speeds can be inconsistent and depend on your proximity to a cell tower.
Many providers offer multi-gigabit internet plans. There is limited availability compared to other technology types.
As one of the most reliable forms of internet, cable will have lower upload speeds than fiber and may be slow during peak usage times.
Cable internet offers bundling options with other services like TV and phone that can often save you money.
It has slower speeds than cable and fiber and often has data caps.
Plans are more expensive than wired connections and will likely come with low data allowances and high latency.
Installation can be expensive since professional installation is required.
Many providers have begun phasing out DSL in favor of newer technology.
How we review providers
Allconnect’s team of broadband experts review top internet service providers according to criteria like performance, affordability, value and customer satisfaction. Our experts prioritize objective and unbiased analysis of all ISPs and strive to create helpful content that simplifies an often complex broadband space.
Our methodology
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 290 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 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.
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.
Internet provider FAQs
What are my internet speed options?
Your internet speed options are based on your address or ZIP code. If you have access to only DSL, your speed options will be limited to under 100 Mbps. Fiber and cable can reach speeds of 10 Gbps or more. Satellite is around 100 Mbps and fixed wireless/5G home internet is under 300 Mbps.
Why do you ask for my address or ZIP?
Your address and ZIP code are needed to determine which internet provider is available for your home or business. Just because one side of your street has fiber access does not mean your side does. Service is based on what infrastructure is available.
What should I look at when comparing internet providers?
Compare pricing, speed and value for each provider available at your address. Remember that promo pricing is often three to 12 months, so make sure you find out what the regular price will be after the promo ends. Customer reviews are also great sources of info from real users of internet services. We have a link to reviews above for each featured provider. Check out the Allconnect Customer Satisfaction report for more insight.
What should I know when shopping for home internet?
When searching for a home internet provider, you should understand the speed you need to support your internet activities and devices. You should also research what type of internet you can get where you live before comparing providers. If you have multiple options, look into each to decide which is best for you. It’s also a good idea to explore any new customer promotions you may be eligible for. These can save you money and provide free equipment, subscriptions or tech.
