If it’s been a while since you shopped around for home internet, it might be time to check again.
With more fiber, 5G wireless home internet and even Starlink, there may be better or cheaper choices than when you last signed up.
One place to start is the Speedtest Performance Directory, from the same company behind the popular internet speed tests.
Select your state, city or ZIP code and you’ll see providers in the area, along with price ranges, coverage estimates and the speeds you might expect.
Next, check the FCC’s Broadband Map. Enter your exact address to see which companies report having service at your home.
Just keep in mind, the data may not always reflect the very latest availability.
Finally, try Allconnect. Enter your ZIP code, then sort the results by lowest price or fastest speed. This makes it easy to find a plan that matches what matters most to you.
The site is free to use, but it does earn money from some provider partnerships.
Before you switch, be sure to check the regular monthly price after any promotional period ends.
A few minutes of comparison shopping could get you faster internet or a lower monthly bill.
