Is DSL right for you?

What phone-line internet handles well

  • Email and browsing

    Reading news, paying bills and shopping online work well on a phone-line connection.

  • One stream at a time

    Standard-definition streaming on one TV or tablet is a realistic fit for most DSL lines.

  • Light households

    Best for one or two people with a phone and a laptop, not a house full of devices.

  • Homes without fiber yet

    A dependable choice in areas Brightspeed has not upgraded to fiber, often with few cable options.

FAQs

Brightspeed Internet questions

What is Brightspeed Internet?

It is Brightspeed's phone-line (DSL) service for homes that do not have fiber yet. It delivers speeds up to 20 Mbps at most addresses over your existing copper phone line.

How many devices can DSL handle?

Brightspeed recommends about 2 devices at once. Several streams, video calls or game downloads at the same time will slow the connection.

Does Brightspeed DSL have a data cap?

No. Brightspeed Internet is advertised without data caps or overage charges.

Can I stream on Brightspeed DSL?

Standard-definition streaming on one screen generally works. HD or 4K streaming on multiple TVs is a better fit for a fiber plan.

Is Brightspeed DSL good for working from home?

It can handle email and light browsing, but frequent video calls and large uploads are difficult. If fiber is not available, we compare other options at your address.

How much does Brightspeed DSL cost?

Pricing for phone-line internet depends on your address and the speed available there. We quote the exact price before you order.

Will Brightspeed bring fiber to my area?

Brightspeed is expanding fiber across its 20 states, but timing varies by community. We check whether fiber is already built near your street.

Can I upgrade from DSL to fiber?

Yes. When fiber reaches your address you can switch plans, and because there is no annual contract, there is no termination fee to change.

Do I need a home phone for DSL?

No. The service uses the copper phone line to your home, but you do not need to keep a landline phone plan to get internet.

What are the alternatives to Brightspeed DSL?

Depending on your address, options can include cable, fixed wireless, 5G home internet or satellite. We compare speeds and prices side by side for you.
