Our Take –

• EarthLink is EarthLink’s unique service delivery model allows it to reach approximately 200 million people. EarthLink offers internet service by using the networks of major providers like AT&T CenturyLink Frontier and CenturyLink, instead of installing fiber As a result, EarthLink essentially boasts the availability of multiple providers combined.

Our take –

Verizon’s 5G coverage comes at a close second to T-Mobile’s. Verizon’s commitment in expanding its services throughout the United States is extraordinary. T-Mobile, for example, reported in its latest quarterly report that the number of Home Internet customers had risen to just under 6.4 million. Verizon’s latest 5G quarterly report estimates that its customer base will be more than 12,000,000 at the end the fourth quarter 2024. .

Lumen Technologies (CenturyLink, Quantum Fiber) had the largest coverage area of nearly any provider, excluding satellite, before selling a chunk of networks in the East to ISP newcomer Brightspeed. Still, Lumen Technologies has a fairly large presence, particularly in the western half of the US, thanks to its DSL (CenturyLink) and fiber (Quantum Fiber) networks.

The price range is between $50 and $120 per month. Verizon’s service is available only in nine states. However, it still provides coverage to a large number of US homes, thanks in part to its extensive fiber network in cities like Baltimore, Boston and New York.

Our take – Rise Broadband best serves rural areas as it is the nation’s largest fixed wireless provider excluding T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon 5G Home Internet. Fixed wireless internet does not require a phone or cable line at your home. This makes it perfect for rural internet services. Consequently, rural areas are where you’re most likely to find Rise Broadband, especially those in the central US or rural parts of Idaho, Nevada and Texas.

Another champion of rural areas, Windstream’s internet service, Kinetic, is available in 18 states but only about 2% of US households. Kinetic may be available if you are in a rural area or suburb in the South, Midwest or West. However, Kinetic coverage reaches as far as New Mexico. Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky and Texas have the greatest Kinetic serviceability, but you may also find Kinetic internet near you in parts of Arkansas, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, among other states. .

Compare the top internet providers. The advertised maximum speed may not be available for your area. The best plan for you, and the one that is most cost-effective, might be another tier of service. This tier may offer a higher speed but at a lower price. To more fully understand this value-based approach, check out CNET’s guide to examining the cost per Mbps

Sarah Tew/CNET

Around fifteen or so internet providers make up the majority of internet serviceability, but there are literally thousands of smaller ISPs that operate in hyperlocal markets. Providers such as Armstrong, Ziply Fiber

and WideOpenWest

(among many others) do a great job of serving their local communities — there are simply too many to list here. Broadband and high-speed internet availabilityAccording to the FCC, 99.98% of US residents have access to a broadband internet connection, which it defines as one that can provide download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20Mbps. However, this number doesn’t reflect the broadband divide. Satellite internet may be the reason for these high FCC figures. If you remove satellite technology, broadband availability drops from 91% to 89%. Less than a third have three or more ISPs available in their area. As you go up in speed from 25 to 100, 250 and 1,000Mbps, availability drops to 46%: It’s evident that high-speed options are sorely limited.

Internet availability by technology The available internet tech type can make a big difference in available speeds and performance. The most popular option is fiber internet, which offers symmetrical upload/download speed, and is more reliable. However, availability is low. Cable internet

, another option for high-speed Internet in many places, is also popular. This option is more available than fiber, but it does not provide the same upload speeds or reliability. DSL

and fixed wireless internet are excellent rural internet options, but they can’t compare to the speeds or reliability of fiber or cable connections.

How to find the best internet service provider in your locality Discovering what is available will help you choose the right internet service provider. The search tool at the top of the page can give you a good idea about what providers are in your area, their speeds, and the cost. Once you have narrowed down your options, look at the terms and conditions of the service. Look for a plan that offers the speeds you need for the lowest price, but also be mindful of potential

data caps and overage fees,

contract requirements ,

equipment rental fees

and other factors that can affect your service and monthly payment. For more tips on how to choose the right internet provider and plan, see

our guide to selecting the best home internet service

.How we selected the top ISPs in your areaCNET takes into account everything the average customer should know when determining the best internet service providers. When evaluating the ISPs in your area, we consider many factors, including connection type, speed, pricing, terms of service, customer satisfaction, and more. However, broadband availability is our primary concern. We use the latest FCC data in order to identify the providers and technologies that they are using. It’s not perfect, but it does help us to identify the top internet providers in terms of availability and where to find them.Check out our page on how we review internet providers for more information.Internet in my area FAQs

Why isn’t the internet available in my area?
The cost of operating and expanding in a new region, especially if it is already served by an ISP competing with the provider, is what prevents them from providing service in other areas. It is common for households to only have access to one service provider.

For instance, even though cable internet is accessible to 82% households, only 7% of them have access to multiple cable internet providers. Fiber-optic services have even fewer options for multiple providers. Around 43% of homes are eligible for fiber-optic internet but less than 3% offer more than one choice.

When will I be able to get new internet service providers in my area?
It’s hard to predict if cable and fiber providers, including T-Mobile and Verizon, will continue to expand into new service areas. However smaller providers — with disruptive technologies — may lead the effort in the coming years. T-Mobile, Verizon and other providers are off to a promising beginning with G home internet. They’re bringing high-speed broadband into underserved areas, and introducing much-needed competition to others. Satellite internet, such as SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper, will also improve broadband options for rural and suburban areas over the next few years. Starry Internet uses a fixed-wireless network to offer high-speed, affordable alternatives to traditional providers.

In summary, don’t expect new internet options in your area to come from the established providers or their technologies anytime soon. Fiber internet is the exception, as its availability has nearly doubled in the past five years. Since 2018, fiber availability has increased only by 1 to 2 percent per year, indicating a slowdown in the expansion of fiber.

Why is my internet so slow?

• Slow internet speeds can be caused by a number of factors. However, the most likely culprit is the technology. Satellite and DSL, the most common options for rural internet in those areas, are typically slower than other types of connection, with speeds ranging from 25Mbps to 100Mbps. If you are using cable or fiber internet and find that your connection is always slow, this could be because of Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi can reduce the actual speeds your provider sends to your home. You can improve Wi-Fi speed by upgrading your router or resetting your router. Consider upgrading to a higher speed plan if it is available. Visit our guide to learn how you can boost Wi-Fi speeds in your home.

• What are the best Internet deals and discounts for new customers or clients?
• New clients will usually get the best introductory price, but there may be other benefits such as gift cards or free installation. Verizon Fios offers the most generous bonus deals, but new customers are also able to score gift cards from AT&T Frontier Fiber WideOpenWest, and other providers. Check out our list of the top internet deals to see the latest offers from the leading ISPs.
  How long does it take to set up a new internet service?
  Most internet providers provide professional installation without additional charge. Your installation expert will set up your equipment, and run any cables needed. Installation times vary but should only take an hour. When initial or extensive wiring is required, installation can take up to 4 hours or even longer to complete.
• Select providers offer self-installation, allowing you to set up your equipment on your time and at your convenience. The instructions for installation should come with your equipment. However, the process usually involves nothing more than plugging your router in. Self-installation can take as little as 30 minutes. If you need assistance, call the technical support number of your service provider.
