This is a general estimate, not a quote. Actual plans, speeds and prices depend on your address and are confirmed by the provider.
Before you sign
The advertised price is only part of the story. We walk through each of these with you, so you know the full monthly cost before anything is ordered.
Ask what the monthly price becomes after the promotional period ends.
Check whether the modem or router is included or billed as a monthly fee.
Confirm the term length and any early termination fee.
Some plans limit monthly data or charge for going over.
Uploads matter for video calls, cloud backups and creators.
Find out if it's self-install or a technician visit, and whether there's a fee.
Ask about taxes, activation and any other recurring charges.
Combining internet with mobile or TV can lower the total in some cases.
FAQs
Availability is set street by street, so two neighbors can have different options. Share your address with an advisor and we'll check which providers and connection types serve your home before you make any decisions.
Fiber usually offers faster and matching upload speeds with lower latency, which helps with video calls, gaming and large uploads. Cable is widely available and handles streaming and everyday use very well. The best choice depends on what's available at your address and how your household uses the internet.
Most households are comfortable with 200 to 300 Mbps. Homes with several 4K streams, gamers or remote workers may benefit from 500 Mbps to 1 Gig. Use the speed finder on this page for a quick estimate based on your household.
Satellite works well for email, browsing and streaming, and it's often the only option in rural areas. Its higher latency can make real-time video calls and gaming less smooth, so we'll also check whether fixed wireless or other options reach your address.
No. Our guidance is free to you. As an authorized retailer, we may be compensated by providers when you sign up, and your service is billed directly by the provider you choose.
Yes. Comparing doesn't change your existing service. If you decide to switch, we'll help you plan the timing so you aren't left without internet, and remind you to check any early termination terms.
