Which Wi-Fi providers are available where you live?

Wi-Fi provider availability depends on where you live. The fastest way to find out which Wi-Fi providers are available to you is by entering your zip code in our tool. The typical zip code search result will list several Wi-Fi providers offering different types of connections. The most common are cable and DSL, while fiber internet is relatively new and less abundant.

Wi-Fi provider availability also depends on your physical address. For instance, fiber may be accessible in your zip code but not on your street. You’ll need to supply your address to the fiber internet provider—or make a call to customer service—to see when it will become available to you.

What is the fastest available Wi-Fi in my area?

The fastest available Wi-Fi service depends on where you live.

Fiber is the fastest Wi-Fi connection you can get, with residential internet speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. Fiber also provides symmetrical speeds, meaning your upload and download speeds are nearly identical.

Several small internet providers offer fiber plans that reach up to 10,000 Mbps—Advanced Stream and Brigham.net are two examples—so consider yourself lucky if one pops up in your search results. AT&T is currently the only nationwide provider with a 5,000 Mbps fiber plan, followed by Xfinity (3,000 Mbps) and Google Fiber (2,000 Mbps).

How does your home network compare to your plan’s max speed?

To find out, connect a wired computer to the modem, run our speed test, and compare the numbers. Rerun the test using mobile devices connected to your router to see how their speeds differ from wired connections.

What are the Wi-Fi provider ratings and reviews?

We conduct an annual customer satisfaction survey asking questions about each Wi-Fi provider. We publish the results of five categories: overall satisfaction, speed, price, reliability, and customer support.

Our most recent survey shows that EarthLink dominated every category, followed by AT&T and Verizon in most cases. Cox Communications also fared relatively well, but CenturyLink and Xfinity typically ranked the lowest out of 12.

Types of nationwide Wi-Fi service providers

A digital subscriber line (DSL) uses existing telephone cables to deliver internet. It’s the slowest land-based option with speeds of up to 110 Mbps.

Pros

Cons

Cable

Modern cable internet uses a mixture of fiber and coaxial cables to deliver internet—the same lines used for cable TV. It’s a faster step up from DSL, providing download speeds of up to 1,200 Mbps.

Pros

Cons

Fiber

Fiber internet uses fiber-optic cable to deliver internet. It’s the newest type of connection, so availability is scarce at this time. Fiber’s upload speeds typically match its download speeds.

Pros

Cons

Satellite

Satellite internet sends internet connectivity to satellites in space that retransmit the signal to a subscriber’s dish.

This connection is ideal for customers outside the reach of DSL, cable, and fiber—but the long distance translates to lower speeds and high latency.

Pros

Cons

4G LTE uses a cellular network to deliver internet connectivity to devices that support a cellular connection (phone, laptop modem, etc.). 4G speeds are slower than 5G in most cases.

Pros

Cons

Like 4G LTE, 5G uses a cellular network to deliver internet to smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and all other devices that support a cellular connection. 5G speeds are typically faster than 4G.

This 5G service is not to be confused with the other 5G technology that delivers gigabit speeds to homes using a fixed wireless connection.

Pros

Cons

Fixed wireless uses radio waves to send internet connectivity to an antenna mounted in or on your home. It supports 4G LTE and 5G cellular connections.

Fixed wireless is also the backbone of 5G gigabit internet, which pulls internet connectivity from small towers throughout your city. Transmissions support up to 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps), making this connection a great alternative to cable and fiber.

FAQ about Wi-Fi providers

What is Wi-Fi?

The terms “Wi-Fi” and “internet” have become synonymous over the years. We connect our wireless devices to the internet each day, but the two terms are technically different.

For cable and DSL, your internet connection begins at the modem. For fiber, it’s at your optical network terminal (ONT). These devices receive internet data from your provider and pass it along to a wireless router using an Ethernet cable. In turn, your router piggybacks all that data onto radio waves and broadcasts those waves as Wi-Fi to your wireless devices.

In short, the router creates your Wi-Fi network, but it can’t provide internet connectivity without a modem or ONT. Without Wi-Fi, your devices must access the internet through a wired Ethernet connection, which can get messy. Wi-Fi instead provides a convenient, tether-free internet browsing experience.

Which Wi-Fi provider has the best internet service?

EarthLink tops the charts in our annual customer satisfaction survey. It outranks the competition in overall satisfaction, speed, price, reliability, and customer service. Verizon and AT&T typically kept the second and third spots.

Cox Communications is a highly rated cable provider in our survey, especially in speed and customer satisfaction. Spectrum is also a good cable internet provider with a simplified list of options. Xfinity covers the most territory in the US and provides a wider variety of plans. However, Xfinity didn’t fare well in our survey, ranking 11th out of 12 for overall satisfaction.

How can I find Wi-Fi providers in my area?

Enter your zip code in the box below to find out what Wi-Fi plans are available in your area.

Can I get Wi-Fi internet without a provider?

No, there must be an internet plan and connection in place to get Wi-Fi internet in your home or office. An internet connection requires a modem or ONT to receive the internet signal from the provider and a wireless router to broadcast that connection using radio waves. This requirement applies to all scenarios, whether you’re at home, in the office, or shopping at Walmart.

However, you don’t need an internet plan when accessing public networks—just the host (like Walmart, Starbucks, and the mall). We provide a guide on how to get free and low-cost internet if you’re on a budget.

Is Wi-Fi internet secure?

Your home Wi-Fi internet is typically secured by default using WPA2 or WPA3. Just click or tap on the listed network and enter the password. For more information, we provide instructions on setting up a home Wi-Fi network —especially if you’re installing a router you purchased.

A public Wi-Fi network, however, can be secured or unsecured.

A secure network typically requires an agreement before signing on and may even make you create an account before use. You also need a password to use a secure Wi-Fi network.

An unsecured Wi-Fi network typically doesn’t require an agreement or password. In some cases, you may need to create an account, which provides some protection—but not on the “secured” level.

In both cases, never log in to an account when accessing a public network, as lurking eavesdroppers could quietly steal your credentials. Never automatically connect to a public network, and consider using the best virtual private network (VPN) to secure your connection better.

Want to stay safe while you surf the web?

We provide several methods on how to keep your router secure against unwanted visitors and hackers.

What are Wi-Fi standards?

A Wi-Fi standard is an established requirement for wireless connectivity. It defines what is needed, what is expected, and how those expectations are accomplished to provide a specific service. It’s important information to know while you’re shopping for a router or a wireless device, as the Wi-Fi standard defines maximum wireless speeds.

For example, the latest standard is IEEE 802.11ax, the wireless portion of the 802.11 local area network standards set. It was created and maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers LAN/MAN Standards Committee but is marketed as Wi-Fi 6 by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Wi-Fi operates by sending data in streams. With Wi-Fi 6, a single stream can reach up to 1,201 Mbps per second, meaning a Wi-Fi 6 router supporting eight streams can reach up to 10 Gbps combined. By comparison, the older Wi-Fi 5 (801.11ac or Wireless AC) standard supports up to 866.7 Mbps in a single stream only, totaling nearly 7 Gbps combined in Wi-Fi 5 routers that can handle eight streams.

In addition to speeds, new standards introduce new technologies. For instance, Wi-Fi 5 added beamforming and multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) connectivity for a more stable connection. Wi-Fi 6 adds Target Wake Time (TWT) to improve device battery life, while orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) enables more data to flow simultaneously.

What is a good Wi-Fi speed?

A 100 Mbps internet connection is good for most people who simply want to stream a few videos, check their email, shop on Amazon, and post on social networks. Faster speeds are better if you have multiple devices streaming 4K content simultaneously, or you’re a gamer faced with large downloads.

Remember, your internet plan determines your raw speed. If you’re paying for only 100 Mbps, you won’t see faster internet speeds whether you’re wired or wireless. Your router also plays a part, as range and Wi-Fi congestion will cause speed issues on your side of the internet connection.

Get a Wi-Fi 6 router

Newer routers based on the Wi-Fi 6 standard can easily handle ten or more devices, depending on the model. Consult our guide on the best Wi-Fi 6 routers for more information.

Here are some examples of the speeds you need:

These numbers reflect a single user, so three people streaming 4K content from Netflix would use roughly 75 Mbps.

Because every customer is different, you may need more speed than others. We provide a tool so you can determine how much speed you need for residential or business scenarios.

Why is my Wi-Fi slow?

There are many reasons why your Wi-Fi is slow. These include the following:

Keep in mind that wireless speeds depend on the router and devices you use. For example, your smartphone with a Wi-Fi 5 component will never reach the maximum speeds advertised with a Wi-Fi 6 router. Plus, if you’re paying for a 400 Mbps plan, your internet speed will never go beyond that number no matter what router you get.

If your Wi-Fi connection seems slower than normal, turn off the router and wait for a minute. Turn it back on, and see if the reboot helped. If not, test your connection on a wired device. Reboot the modem and the router if your wired connection is also slow.

Consult our guide on slow Wi-Fi issues due to a router or provider for more information.

How do I speed up my Wi-Fi?

If your Wi-Fi speed feels sluggish, you may be in dire need of a complete reboot. Do the following to see if a reboot will resolve the slowdown:

Step 1: Unplug both the modem and the router from the power outlet. This step completely powers them down and clears the system memory—just like you would with a computer.

Step 2: Plug the modem back in and wait for it to boot completely.

Step 3: Plug the router back in and wait for it to boot completely.

Step 4: Try your internet connection on a wireless device.

Business Internet Service vs Residential Internet Service

While business Internet packages can seem more expensive than residential packages, they can actually save you a lot of time, hassle, headaches, and money because they are specifically designed to cater to the needs of businesses instead of homes.

Businesses generally need a lot more upload speed than residences. This need is addressed by business Internet packages. Business Internet packages also usually have stronger security software options than residential packages because businesses tend to have a larger volume of sensitive information on file.

Both types of Internet packages have their pluses and minuses so you should identify your business’s Internet needs to help find the package that best addresses those needs.

Find reliable business Internet Service in your area

HighSpeedInternet.com lets you compare the business Internet providers available in your area. See speeds, features, and ratings so you can make an informed decision.

Big Brands and Local Brands

From national business Internet providers like AT&T, Xfinity, and Verizon, to local Internet providers across the country, HSI helps you find Internet options for your business that you may not even know exist.

How much Internet speed does your business need?

While every business is different, determining how fast your business Internet should be depends largely upon how many people you expect to be using your business’s Internet. The more people you have, the more speed you need.

A good guideline for determining the Internet speed needs for your business is:

at least 3 Mbps per 10 users.

This guideline only applies to download speed. It works really well for brick and mortar businesses where employees use the Internet intermittently. If your business consists of employees who are constantly on the Internet, you should think of it as 5 Mbps per 10 users, or 1 Mbps for every 2 users.

Along with good download speeds, businesses often need more upload speed than residential Internet users because businesses tend to upload more data. The amount of upload speed you need will be greatly affected by how much data your business uploads. File sharing, cloud storage, and video conferencing all contribute to the greater need for upload speed. Businesses that do a lot of collaborative work or upload a lot of large design files will need a lot of upload speed. Many business Internet packages are designed with the extra upload speed included, but you need to check carefully to make sure you get what you need.

About cable internet

Cable internet is capable of excellent download speeds of over 1000 Mbps. Because it’s fast and widely available, cable internet is often the most practical choice for many customers. However, cable internet isn’t perfect. Cable upload speeds are slower than fiber internet, and network slowdowns can still happen during busy hours in some locations.

Still, it’s much better than DSL or satellite internet options—and you are more likely to have cable internet in your area than fiber internet. Additionally, cable internet is often easy enough to install yourself if you already have cable TV lines.

Pros and cons of cable internet

Pros of cable internet

Wide availability—Cable companies have been around for decades. In that time, they’ve established wide cable networks across the US, covering just over 88% of the population.1 A lot of houses and buildings are already wired for cable TV, so getting an internet connection often doesn’t require laying any additional cable or wiring. This gives cable internet an edge over fiber internet because fiber is available to only half as many people. In many areas of the country, cable is the best type of internet you can get.

Fast download speeds—Cable internet can reach speeds just over 1,000 Mbps—that’s comparable to fiber internet. And while not all cable internet plans are quite that fast, not everyone needs gigabit internet. Cable providers generally offer a wide range of plans that cater to different internet speed needs and budgets. See our guide on internet speed to learn more about the benefits of higher download speeds.

Bundle deals—Since cable internet and cable TV use the same coaxial cables, it’s really easy for internet service providers (ISPs) to provide both, so they incentivize you to bundle services with discounts. It’s a good setup if you want both internet and TV because you can keep it down to one bill through one company, and you’ll end up paying less than subscribing to each thing separately.

Cons of cable internet

Network congestion—This issue is mostly a thing of the past, but there may be areas where cable internet customers still experience slowdowns due to high internet activity in their neighborhoods—like during the evening, for instance. Cable lines can handle a lot of bandwidth, but they all converge to a node that feeds internet into the neighborhood. To help ease congestion, cable internet providers like Xfinity and Spectrum are adding more and more nodes. So, while it does happen, network congestion isn’t usually a huge problem for cable internet customers.

Slower upload speeds— The speed cable ISPs advertise for specific plans is the max download speed available for that plan—upload speeds are different. Upload speeds for cable internet are usually only one tenth of the download speed. Most of us are download-heavy users and get by just fine with cable internet’s limited upload bandwidth.

Can be expensive —Cable internet plans can get expensive, though this is largely dependent on your region and which ISPs you have to choose from. If you’re in an area with only a single ISP, rates could be higher due to a lack of competition. Also, some ISPs are just plain pricey for what you get.

How cable internet works

Internet signals travel on the surface of the copper-clad cores in the coaxial cables. The modem in your house is equipped with an advanced protocol called DOCSIS that translates the signals received from the coaxial network.

DOCSIS stands for data over cable service interface specifications, and basically, it’s the technology that has allowed the use of existing coaxial networks for high speed internet. DOCSIS has been around since 1997 and gone through several major advances, each one drastically increasing the abilities of cable internet. The current iteration, DOCSIS 3.1, is responsible for the gigabit (1,000 Mbps) speeds we’re now seeing from cable ISPs.

Find DSL Providers

Enter your zip to see internet providers in your area.

About DSL internet

DSL uses telephone lines to deliver high-speed internet service. Short for digital subscriber line, DSL offers a number of improvements over older dial-up technology. DSL reaches speeds up to 100 Mbps, which is much higher than dial-up and doesn’t tie up the phone line. Because it uses existing phone lines, DSL is widely available and one of the most affordable options for broadband internet.

Although it can reach broadband speeds (25 Mbps or higher), DSL is much slower than other internet technologies like cable and fiber. It’s great for basics like checking email and paying bills, but it isn’t as great for more demanding tasks.

Most internet service providers (ISPs) are moving away from DSL and some have stopped taking new DSL customers entirely. Still, DSL provides an affordable and reliable option for millions of people and will continue to be important as the US upgrades its communication infrastructure.

Pros and Cons

Pros of DSL

Wide availability—DSL is incredibly widespread within the US. Almost 90% of the US population has access to a DSL network, including over 70% of people living in rural areas. 1 In many areas, DSL is the only form of wired internet available. Although not as fast as some wireless rural options, like certain satellite internet plans, DSL’s wired connection can offer lower latency, which is important for activities like online games.

Low monthly costs—DSL is often considerably cheaper than other types of internet connections, even those offering similar speeds. This difference in cost is especially noticeable in rural areas, where other options like satellite internet can be double or triple the cost of a DSL plan.

Cons of DSL

Speed limitations—DSL is one of the slowest types of internet connection, with some plans not even meeting the speed requirements for the FCC’s definition of broadband internet (25 Mbps or faster). DSL speeds range from about 1–100 Mbps. Most DSL connections are also asynchronous. This means that upload speed will be even lower than the download speed, which could make it difficult or impossible to video chat or livestream.

Slower speeds over distance—DSL speeds drop the farther your home is from your provider’s nearest hub. In urban and suburban areas, this usually isn’t a problem. But it can cause issues for customers who are on the edges of their provider’s network. If you live in a rural area and consistently get less speed than your provider advertises, this might be why.

Local monopolies—While nearly 90% of Americans have access to at least one DSL provider, less than 4% have two or more DSL networks available in their area. 1 DSL providers essentially control regional monopolies that avoid competing with one another, giving customers no alternative choice. This, in turn, has led to poor customer service from many ISPs. When considering a DSL provider, be sure to look at customer reviews.

Deteriorating infrastructure—DSL networks cover the US, but the copper wires that make up these networks are much more susceptible to corrosion and deterioration than fiber-optic cables. Rather than repairing these networks, many DSL providers are focusing their resources on building out newer technologies. Meanwhile, DSL networks are falling further into disrepair and service outages are becoming more frequent.

How DSL internet works

DSL internet works by running an internet signal over copper phone lines and delivering it to your home, much like older dial-up connections do. But unlike dial-up, DSL offers much faster speeds and won’t tie up your phone line. DSL was the first viable broadband internet option available to many people. It was revolutionary for its time, but it can’t keep up with modern technologies like fiber and 5G. As DSL lines fall into disrepair or are abandoned by providers, finding new ways to keep DSL customers connected is becoming a significant issue.

Getting the most out of an old technology

DSL was created to get the maximum amount of information possible over a standard copper phone line. Whereas dial-up internet transmitted data using audible frequencies (which ‘90s kids are probably hearing in their heads right now), DSL used much higher frequencies, which could hold more information.

This left the lower frequencies available for audible speech, allowing both signals to be transmitted across the same line simultaneously, like a melody playing over a base line. These high frequencies could then be filtered out using a splitter, allowing you to stay connected to the internet without tying up the phone line.

Types of DSL

Most DSL networks use asymmetric DSL (ADSL), which divides up these higher frequencies and dedicates most of them toward download speed. This boosts the maximum speed for most online activities, but it makes ADSL a poor choice for video chat, livestreaming, or sending large amounts of data.

ADSL also loses signal quality over long distances. The maximum distance that a signal can travel is just over 5 km (3.1 miles), but most providers will place a much lower limit on this distance to maintain quality. Customers who are on the edges of the network will experience speeds lower than their provider’s maximum advertised speeds.

There are several other types of DSL, such as symmetric DSL (SDSL) and rate-adaptive DSL (RADSL), which each have their own pros and cons. These types divide up frequencies differently, which in many cases means that the lower frequencies aren’t available for speech. None of these technologies see widespread use in residential internet, though some are used by small businesses.

Connecting to the internet with DSL

Because DSL signals slow down and degrade after traveling a certain distance, discussions about DSL often reference a provider’s “central office” or network hub. These are the points at which the DSL network connects to the rest of the internet.

Although the term “central office” implies a single, massive headquarters, these buildings are actually distributed throughout a provider’s coverage area so that a signal never has to travel far to reach customers’ homes. These buildings each contain a device called a DSLAM (digital subscriber line access multiplexor), which is able to take data from the internet, send it out to customers across telephone lines, and vice versa. 4

The DSLAM is connected to the internet with a high-bandwidth fiber-optic connection, as well as to the standard telephone network and its copper phone lines. It works a bit like the DSL splitter in your home, separating voice frequencies from data frequencies, while also mediating between copper and fiber-optic networks. 4

Advantages of DSL technology

Although the use of copper telephone wire limits the ability of DSL connections to scale with our online habits, it does have some advantages. The very concept of DSL is ingenious in many ways. It’s quite a feat to take a technology first developed to carry voice in the late 19th century and adapt it to send a high-speed digital signal. The result is a technology that is surprisingly robust.

One reason that many customers are reluctant to give up their DSL connection is that DSL can continue to function during a blackout. 2 As long as you have a battery to keep your router and computer running, your internet will continue to run without electricity just as landline phones do. In older neighborhoods with older electrical systems, prepared DSL customers can keep their devices running even when the lights go out.

In an even more extreme (if less practical) example, people have managed to get a DSL connection running with nothing more than a wet string. 3 Since DSL modems can run over lines originally meant for sending telegrams, perhaps it should be no surprise that they can also run on “tin-can phone” technology.

The end of the DSL era

DSL was an important step in bringing millions of people online and it continues to be a vital resource for many communities. Unfortunately, DSL is reaching the physical limits of the technology and can’t keep up with other types of connection that get faster every year.

DSL is a great low-cost option, but as providers begin to abandon their aging copper networks, we highly recommend that consumers upgrade to other types of internet like fiber or cable when possible.

We Help You Find Providers In Your Zip Code

There are literally thousands of internet service providers in the United States, and finding all of the providers offering internet service in your zip code can be a challenge. Some of them are pretty small and hard to find. Some small ISPs don’t even have usable websites. This is why we built our free internet service provider availability search to help you find every residential internet provider in the USA. Whether you’re looking for a faster internet speed, interested in switching internet providers, or you’re moving into a new home, our provider zip code availability database is an excellent tool for quickly narrowing down which local internet providers offer services in your zip code. InternetbyZip.com is an independent, unbiased resource that assists you in finding local high-speed broadband services and making informed decisions about which provider and service best suits your home, your budget, and your life.

Who Needs Internet Service?

Almost everyone. In fact, you’re using the internet right now. Internet service is no longer a novelty or a mere convenience. Access to the internet has become an integral part of most people’s lives. Our jobs and education increasingly depend on affordable, reliable internet access. You can certainly live without internet access, but an increasing number of essential daily tasks and activities rely on being connected to the internet in some way.

What Kind Of Internet Service Can You Get?

This is where things can get tricky because the answer depends almost entirely on the location of your home. These days, many consumers like to research products and services before they buy. That makes a lot of sense. Not only do you benefit from being better informed about what you’re buying, but you’re also more likely to be a satisfied customer. It’s exactly the same when you shop for internet service online. Our zip code search tool lets you view the providers and service types available in your area so you can compare prices, features, and speeds. Once you have your list of available providers in your zip code, you’re ready to start comparing. Here are a few tips you might want to consider while exploring internet service packages:

What Internet Speed Should You Get?

Remember that faster isn’t always better. Not every household needs a super-fast internet connection. If you aren’t a heavy internet user, or if you don’t usually stream movies, music, videos, or play games online, you may benefit from a slower connection. Slower speeds usually mean lower prices, so consider what your internet connection is going to to be used for and buy an internet service package accordingly. It could be easier on your wallet. You should also remember that upload speeds make a difference. When choosing the best internet service plan for your needs, don’t neglect to educate yourself about upload speeds. Upload speeds are the rate at which your internet connection transfers data from your computer or another device to the internet. An upload speed that’s too low for some applications such as video conferencing or online gaming could result in lagging, buffering and glitching. Knowing what you will be using your internet connection for can help you select the plan best suited for your online experience.

Things To Consider When Comparing Internet Services:

Don’t get surprised by price increases, installation costs, hidden fees or equipment charges that aren’t clearly spelled out by a provider. Here are some typical “fine print” situations ISPs sometimes use that could end up costing you extra if you’re caught unaware:

Learn About Types Of High-Speed Internet:

We offer quick guides that talk about each kind of internet service type because we are dedicated to helping you learn more about how they work, the speeds each type of service can typically achieve, and which online activities you will be able to perform. We also discuss the pros and cons of each type of service so you can choose the best internet service for your home:

Find Every Internet Provider In Your Area

All internet service providers, including AT&T, Xfinity, SpectrumⓇ, CenturyLink, Cox, and Frontier, offer internet service in select areas. Unlike cell phone service, which is available nationwide through carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint — internet connections such as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), cable, and fiber are not as comprehensive in coverage. Many wired and wireless internet providers may be available near you, but the fastest speeds cannot always reach every home. Internet speeds depend on your chosen plan, your internet connection type, how far away from the network you live, and the performance of your Wi-Fi router.

Which Broadband Provider Is Best in My Area?

Every internet provider varies in footprint and subscriber coverage. Even if an ISP can offer service in your area, they may be unable to connect your home to their wired network due to technical limitations on cabling distance. Although wired internet connections through fiber, DSL, and cable are best, internet service from a fixed wireless or satellite provider is also an option. Broadband internet connections degrade the farther away you live from the provider’s network. If your home is outside of the city limits or in a rural area, you might not have access to a wired internet connection. Wireless connections may be your only option. However, wireless internet service needs unobstructed views of nearby towers and satellites in space. Otherwise, performance can slow down when line-of-sight obstructions such as trees and mountains exist.

Who Has the Best Internet Service?

The best internet provider in each area depends on your individual needs. “Best” could mean different things depending on your priorities. You may want the cheapest, contract-free internet, or more likely, internet with the fastest download and upload speeds. Your final choice will vary based on your goal. Let’s assume by “best” you mean the fastest internet provider with service to your home. Here are some tips to remember for choosing the best type of internet connection for your needs:

Who Are the Internet Providers in My Area?

Internet service networks connect to homes by phone lines, coaxial cable, optical fiber, the 5G and 4G LTE cellular networks, wireless antennas, and satellite dishes. The InMyArea.com team analyzed data for every city in the U.S. and found that each of these cities has an average of three wired internet providers, but most homes can only get service from one or two providers. Perhaps you recently moved and need your utilities connected for the first time. Maybe you’re buying a home and want to verify your family can have a fast internet connection. Or you’ve had a bad experience with your current provider and are looking to change. InMyArea.com can help you find all the internet providers in your area. InMyArea.com searches through hundreds of millions of data points to show you which providers are available in your area by coverage percentage (how much they cover your surrounding area). The provider with the highest coverage percent is the most likely to be available at your address, though they may not be the fastest internet option in your neighborhood.

Who Is Behind InMyArea.com?

InMyArea.com is a home services comparison website built by a team of designers, programmers, developers, and data scientists who are passionate about connecting people everywhere to the best services. Our team has decades of experience with internet service providers and a desire to provide users with the best possible online research experience. In 2014, we reorganized our efforts, analyzed over 10 million broadband records, and greatly improved the accuracy of our results. Since then, our data has grown to over 100 million records, and we continue to make advancements in data analysis by enhancing our system’s performance. We built InMyArea.com to help our family, friends, and neighbors find the providers in their area when they move, need to save money, or want to change providers.

How InMyArea.com Works

We analyze hundreds of millions of rows of data in real time, examine every street, city, and ZIP code in the United States, calculate how likely you are to be connected by each provider, check the speeds available, and display the results. We will show you a list of providers, plans, speeds, and prices, including fiber, cable, DSL, satellite, wireless, and cellular providers. We’ll even throw in the nearby public places with free Wi-Fi for you to access the internet while you wait for the installation of your service.

You can find your internet providers by searching InMyArea.com. Enter your ZIP code, address, or share your device’s location to find wired connections from fiber-optic, DSL, and cable providers. You can also check the availability of wireless providers from satellite and fixed wireless connections available in your area.

Most Popular Cities For Internet Providers In My Area

These are the top cities in the United States where people are shopping for the best internet providers

What is Considered Broadband?

The FCC defines broadband as a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and 3 Mbps upload speed. That speed is the bare minimum you’ll need for modern internet use. For example, Netflix recommends a 25 Mbps (megabits per second) download speed for playing movies and TV shows at Ultra HD quality. If you have four simultaneous users sharing the connection, you need at least 100 Mbps to give each user 25 Mbps to stream, play online games, or download files.

The fastest internet speeds are available from fiber-optic and cable connections, up to around 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) for cable and 5 Gbps for fiber. Ultra-fast internet speeds are rarer in less populated areas of the country, such as rural areas and small towns. Residents in these areas should expect max speeds closer to 150 Mbps.

Is Fiber Internet Available in My Area?

Fiber-optic internet service is the fastest type of connection, with max speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 5 Gbps. However, fiber is expensive for ISPs to install and deploy, and as a result, fiber has been slow to grow in remote areas. Consider yourself lucky if you live in an area with a fiber connection. That said, providers continuously deploy and expand their fiber infrastructures each day to connect with more consumers. Here are some of the fiber internet providers with the most coverage throughout the United States.

Who Has the Best Cable Internet Service?

Cable internet connects to more homes than fiber. Even though download and upload speeds aren’t as fast as fiber, cable can still reach speeds of around 1 Gbps. Cable internet speeds are much faster than DSL, have lower latency, and have higher data allowances included in plans. The largest cable companies in terms of coverage in the United States are:

What Companies Offer DSL Service?

DSL has been around since the late 1980s when researchers found that copper phone lines could transmit both broadband signals and voice. DSL speeds can now reach up to 100 Mbps, and HDTV, internet, and voice connections can share the same lines. Since DSL can run on existing phone lines, it’s the most commonly available type of internet connection. The most available DSL providers in the United States include:

Is Fiber, Cable, or DSL Internet Better?

Each internet connection type comes with its advantages and drawbacks. Where fiber excels in speed, it lacks in widespread availability. DSL is convenient and available, but inefficient for demanding users. Cable is versatile and fast, but can get pricey quickly. Here are some details to help you differentiate between the connection types:

What Internet Speed Do I Need to Stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu?

The internet requirements for streaming content will depend on what type of resolution you use. We recommend the following minimum download speeds for streaming on one device at a time.

Depending on the type of connection available to you, you may have data caps restricting how much you can stream. Here are the download speed requirements for streaming services.

How Much Data Does the Average Person Use?

The amount of data you need depends on your internet usage. Simple browsing and email take minimal data while streaming content uses the most data. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common internet tasks and the amount of data they require.

How Much Does the Internet Cost?

What Does Mbps Mean?

Mbps is the abbreviation for megabits per second and is the same as Mbits/sec. Megabits (Mb) are what internet service providers use for measuring speeds. Megabytes (MB) are used for measuring file sizes and data usage. MBps or MB/ps is megabytes per second (note the uppercase MB). To convert bits to bytes, divide the bits by 8. To convert bytes to bits, multiply the bytes by 8. Furthermore, gigabit internet achieves speeds of 1 Gbps or 1,000 Mbps. Below are those internet speed and size conversions:

How Can I Get the Internet in My Home?

Choosing the right provider for your needs depends on your normal internet usage and what is available in your area. Your home’s location plays a huge role in choosing the right provider since most internet providers differ in availability. While wireless and satellite internet providers have the most coverage, they come with data caps on usage and limits on streaming.

We recommend starting with the most available providers in your area and comparing their speed and price. You may have specific speed requirements, and one provider will stand out to you, or if you are on a fixed income, you may want to choose the cheaper option. Here are some steps to take when choosing your internet provider:

How do I find my current Internet Service Provider?

Your home may have already been connected to one or more ISPs by a previous owner or tenant. To find your existing ISP, look for equipment with recognizable logos or company names inside your home in closets, laundry rooms, exterior walls of your home near electrical panels, and the front yards of your neighborhood on telecommunication boxes. The telecommunication and broadband equipment can vary in design. Look for equipment similar to these examples:

Smart Panel

This smart panel is located in an interior space such as a laundry or utility room. You’ll find coaxial (cable) and telephone wires inside, but company names in these locations are rare.

Exterior Panel

These service panels tend to exist in the home’s exterior adjacent to the main electrical panel. Exterior panels typically feature the ISP name on the outside.

Wiring Boxes

These boxes are typically located in neighborhoods with underground wiring. Stickers clearly show which provider uses this box for service.

When you know what you need and want from a service, and you’re able to compare options all in one place, you can better understand as to what sets each apart―and you can pick the one which fits the bill the best for you.

Take a look at what makes each of our featured high-speed internet providers unique―and to check offer availability at your address speak to experts at 1-855-349-9328.

Xfinity: Enjoy a Bunch of Value Packed Perks

Internet Services in Rural Areas

Moved to a home away from the hubbub of big cities and trying to find out “What internet services are in my area?”

Unlike urban and some suburban regions, the internet service landscape in rural America is not as well served. High-speed internet providers do cover rural regions to an extent, but options for residents are limited more often than not. And it becomes all the more important that you take your time when deciding on any one.

Take a look at the different types of rural internet connections that maybe worth considering―

Satellite Internet

Satellite internet by default covers the U.S. from coast to coast. So, if price is not much of an issue, it is a good option when no wireline service is able to deliver high-speed internet. The latency may keep you from competitive gaming, but satellite internet covers standard home usage with ease.

Fixed Wireless Internet

Fixed Wireless is becoming more widely available in rural regions. Speeds may be comparable to satellite broadband, but fixed wireless boasts lower latency and is not as expensive―which makes it a more feasible option―especially so when you’re located in the line of sight of the nearest access point.

DSL Internet

Copper phone lines cover great swaths of land across the U.S. So while traditional DSL may be slower than fixed wireless or satellite internet, it is still a practical option if it meets your needs. And, if you’re lucky, you may as well be able to enjoy high-speed DSL at your rural home!

High-Speed Internet Offers in Rural Areas

Let’s have a look at some key facts about some of the best internet service providers in rural America. Keep in mind network coverage for each varies with the region―except HughesNet satellite internet.

“What is the Best Option for Rural Internet in My Area?”

“How Much Internet Speed Do I need?”

Your internet speed requirement depends upon many factors such as the number of devices that are to be connected and the type of activities that are to be conducted. You should have an estimate of how fast the internet speed must be so you don’t end up facing issues like waiting for video to stop buffering due to poor connectivity or paying extra for all that speed you never really use.

Here is an estimate of the download speed you need according to the stated activity on one device. To get a better idea, you can take our speed test and reach a more accurate estimate of how much faster a connection is required to cover everyone’s needs.

Compare Internet Providers in One Place

Not all internet service providers may be available in any given area. But, you may come across some of the most outstanding in your neighborhood if you go by the ZIP. In case you are confused between available options, there are many factors you can consider before making the final decision―such as connection type, speed and data, terms & conditions plus costs mentioned in the fine print, such as applicable taxes, equipment and installation fees.

Here is a quick comparison of aspects that matter the most to users:

*Regular rates apply after the end of promotion period (where applicable)

Residential Internet Service Types

DSL

DSL is one of the first types of broadband technology that was introduced after Dialup. DSL uses the same copper cables to transfer data as the ones that connect your home phone, and is therefore one of the most widely available types in the U.S.

The DSL connection for residential usage is categorized as ADSL―it delivers higher speeds for download than upload. Many service providers are now using a mix of new technologies to boost the download speeds to over 100 Mbps.

Cable

A cable connection uses the same coaxial cable lines that are used to transfer TV signals to your home. Cable internet reaches your devices through a modem that connects your devices to the provider’s network.

Cable connectivity brings you faster speeds than you can get with DSL. And nowadays major cable internet providers use a hybrid arrangement of Fiber and Coaxial to further enhance speeds up to 1 Gig for downloads. Upload speeds are typically much slower in comparison.

Fiber

Fiber connections send data through light pulses in glass fibers that have a diameter equivalent to a single human hair. Unlike cables used for DSL and coaxial cable internet, fiber optic cables can carry much more data and deliver speeds a hundred times faster than what you get via DSL, Cable or Satellite.

All signals lose strength over longer distances, but with fiber optic cables the signal strength remains strong over much longer distances. The interference from electrical & radio signals is not a problem, and fiber optic cables are also more resilient and less vulnerable to wear and tear.

Satellite

A satellite connection uses three satellite dishes to bring internet connectivity to you. One is at the provider’s hub, the second in the space and the third at the users’ location. The signal travels back and forth in a loop―from the provider’s hub to space, and then to the user end. A satellite connection is thus able to provide connectivity even in remote areas.

Satellite internet is a good high-speed option, but depicts more latency than any other type. This may not be a problem for most activities, but makes it unfeasible for competitive gaming.

Fixed Wireless

Fixed Wireless uses landline hardwired fiber optic networks to establish the backhaul connection, and from there onwards signal transmission occurs via the air over a terrestrial microwave platform. At the subscriber’s end, the connection is established through the access point that is usually within a few miles of the user’s location―it gets the signal from the backhaul tower over a wireless spectrum, and broadcasts it in the direction of the user’s antenna.

Fixed wireless connections are cheaper, quicker to deploy, and provide a high-speed internet in many underserved rural areas.

5G

5G is the 5th-gen technology standard for broadband cellular networks which like its predecessor operates on a range of radio spectrum allotments, but has the capacity to run on a relatively wider range. Currently, internet providers are using either the Sub-6 GHz low frequency band or the high-frequency band mmWave (above 24 GHz).

5G delivered via the high-band mmWave requires many lower range cell towers to travel far or get through obstacles on the path. 5G broadband delivered over the Sub-6 low-band may not be as fast, but low frequency waves can stretch farther out. And, are not as hindered by obstacles on the way. Most 5G internet service providers in the U.S. are using a mix of both bands.

“How to Find the Fastest Internet in My Area? ”

The fastest type of internet available in the U.S. residential market is Fiber Optic. Pure fiber optic connections are able to give you speeds up to 5 Gbps. But, availability of fiber optic broadband remains limited. Most fiber internet providers offer a Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) or Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) connection only in select neighborhoods.

Next to Fiber stands cable broadband. Many big names in the cable internet service industry have upgraded their network infrastructure, and are using the newest DOCSIS networking protocols in a hybrid arrangement wherein both fiber optic and coaxial lines do the job. For the longer part of its journey, data transfer occurs over Fiber lines, and coaxial cables are used only for a short stretch to the subscriber’s location. This way you get to experience speeds up to 1 Gbps for downloads. Availability of hybrid fiber-coaxial connections is far more common than Fiber.

Chances are when you run a ZIP search to look for the fastest local internet providers for your urban or suburban home, you’ll come across one or the other, and even both.

How Much Do Americans spend on Internet & Cable?

The Underestimated Digital Divide in the U.S.

The growth of broadband internet in the U.S. has been slow. Most major providers find it more lucrative to upgrade and extend network infrastructures in small and compact states rather than large rural ones. And, also limit their high-end services to urban or suburban neighborhoods where the demand is the highest.

Over the years, this approach has left rural population and low-income households without adequate access to high-speed internet. And faster development of infrastructure to provide high-speed internet to underserved communities is the only way forward.

If you’re moving to a new area or looking to switch internet providers, it’s important to know what internet service provider (ISP) options are available. ISP options might even be a factor in choosing where you move. There’s a lot to compare, and often it’s the minor differences that really make the difference. Even if you’re staying where you are but just need better service, finding the best internet provider and plan for your needs can make a huge difference in your online experience. Compare the best internet providers How do you choose an internet provider? You can choose an internet provider by searching which providers are in your area and then weighing which one offers you the best options when it comes to internet speed, pricing, data, and extra fees. Finding the best internet provider depends on what features are most important to you. Speed and price are often the first criteria we look at, but there are a lot of other factors to consider as well. Here’s what you should look for before you sign up: Internet speed Make sure your internet is fast enough to meet all of your needs but not so fast that your monthly bill is too expensive. A good rule of thumb is to get at least 25 Mbps of speed for every person in your household—so if you live with three others, then a 100 Mbps connection will do you just fine. Use our How Much Internet Speed Do I Need? tool to figure out your ideal bandwidth. Customer service A quality customer service team can be a big help when you experience problems with your connection or equipment—sometimes all it takes is a quick call to tech support to resolve an issue. Some ISPs’ customer service teams are also equipped to hook you up with deals and promotions if you’re signing up for service, upgrading plans, or switching providers. You can get a feel for how easy or difficult it is to address problems with an ISP by looking at our survey of customer satisfaction ratings. Installation and equipment costs On top of the monthly fee for your service, you’ll likely also need to pay additional fees for modem rental and installation costs—but not always. The best providers waive these extra fees (at least on the upper-tier plans), and you can also save money by buying your own router and modem. Which reminds us; we’ve got great recommendations for Wi-Fi routers. Data caps and overage fees Data caps and overage fees can be a headache, especially if you’re a heavy-duty internet user. Most internet providers give you plenty of data to use every month, and some even hook you up with totally unlimited data. But some budget plans come with sneakily small data limits, and satellite providers have very low data caps. Contracts Signing up for a plan with an annual contract means you’ll be on the hook for early termination fees (ETFs) if you have to cancel your service before the term agreement is up. We recommend avoiding that if possible by going with a no-contract, month-to-month plan. That’s not always an option—but if you can go no-contract, we recommend it. Additional internet comparison resources Still need help comparing internet providers? Here are some other resources to help you answer your questions. What to look for in your internet speed Download speed is the main criteria that people use to figure out if their internet is fast enough. Most of what we do online involves downloading data—think of streaming movies, downloading files, or playing online games. However, you’ll also want to consider upload speed. You need a relatively reliable upload speed in order to do things like attending Zoom meetings, hosting livestreams, or posting lots of content to social media. Most internet providers have much slower upload speeds compared to their download speeds. However, fiber internet providers offer symmetrical speeds, so your uploads will be just as fast—another great reason to get fiber if it’s available in your area. If you play a lot of online games, it’s also important to have a connection with low latency. Latency is the time it takes to process a signal between your device and your internet provider’s server, and vice versa. Low latency rates make for smoother gameplay and fewer glitches, vastly improving your experience in fast-paced games like first-person shooters. Both fiber and cable internet have low latency. Pro tip: Faster is better, but not all online activities require the fastest plans available. If you’re not sure how fast of a connection you need for your needs, take our test for how much internet speed you need. Find an internet provider in your area Once you’re confident that you know what you’re looking for, it’s time to narrow down the list to service providers in your area. Enter your zip code to find out which ISPs offer plans near you. FAQ about internet providers What is the best internet provider around? The best internet provider is EarthLink. With a large nationwide network and excellent customer service, this provider swept to the lead in our annual customer satisfaction survey, taking first place for speed, price, reliability, and overall satisfaction. Xfinity is also a great internet provider—dare we say it is practically tied with EarthLink. As a cable provider, it offers a range of plans at fair prices and is widely available in the United States. You can get gigabit speeds, or you can pay less for still-robust internet upwards of 100 Mbps. How fast of an internet connection do I actually need? Internet speed Activities you can do 0–5 Mbps Checking email, Zoom calling, streaming music on one or two devices. 6–40 Mbps Streaming SD video on two or three devices, online gaming for one or two players. 41–100 Mbps Streaming HD video (720p or 1080p) on several devices, downloading large files in a short time, operating multiple smart-home devices. 101–500 Mbps Streaming 4K UHD video on several screens, online gaming with multiple players, hosting livestreams. 501–1000 Mbps Doing pretty much anything on a large number of devices. With internet connections, the usual rule of thumb is that faster is better. However, there’s no point in paying for the fastest connection available if you’re not actually going to use all that speed. For most home web-surfing for one person, a 5–10 Mbps (megabits per second) connection will give you a seamless internet experience. If you’re doing something more bandwidth-intensive, like streaming video, or you have multiple people using the internet simultaneously, you’ll want a much faster connection. For a more detailed breakdown of how much internet speed you need for different activities, check out our more detailed analysis. What kinds of internet connections are available? One of the main things that your location dictates is the kinds of internet connections available to you. Depending on your neighborhood, you might have several options or you might be restricted to one or two. Are there any hidden fees in internet plans? There are a number of things to look out for that hide in the fine print, and they can turn into unexpected costs if you’re not aware of them. When choosing a plan, be especially aware of the following: Does living in an HOA community affect my internet options? Living in an HOA community or subdivision can have an impact on choosing an ISP because the roads are private. ISPs can’t build a connection unless the HOA board allows them to. That said, HOAs will usually make certain options available for residents. If you don’t like the options currently available, your best bet is to reach out to your HOA president to talk about allowing new services in. You also have the option of satellite internet connections that don’t require additional infrastructure to be built. (But you’ll probably have to get that satellite dish approved by your HOA as well.) Is “unlimited” data really unlimited? Unlimited data is usually unlimited—unlike with cell phone plans, internet providers with no data caps often let you use as much data as you please without imposing overage charges or throttling your speeds. However, that can sometimes happen. And you’ll also need to be more conscious of data caps with satellite internet providers. Technically a satellite provider’s data is unlimited, but in reality you’ll often have a small amount of high-speed data to use before your speeds get slowed down considerably. Are advertised internet speeds accurate? Most internet plans will advertise connections “up to” a certain speed. The actual speed will vary according to different factors based on the type of connection you have. If reliability is an important factor, you can contact your ISP to ask about average speeds or to ask about which factors might impact speeds in your location. As mentioned above, some ISPs offer plans with guaranteed speeds for small businesses. If you’re curious about how fast your current connection actually is, try our internet speed test. What’s the difference between home Wi-Fi providers and other ISPs? If you want to set up a Wi-Fi connection in your home, the first step is choosing an ISP. Every ISP offers a wired connection along with a router, which allows you to create a Wi-Fi network in your home. The difference with Wi-Fi as opposed to traditional wired connections has to do with how you connect the devices within your home or business. Wi-Fi allows you to connect your devices to your network wirelessly as opposed to connecting them to your modem with a network cable. Wireless connections are much more convenient and are necessary to connect many tablets and laptops, though traditional wired connections are more secure. Sign up for our newsletter.

While Wi-Fi hotspot locations is a public wireless Internet connection available nationwide such as at coffeeshops, restaurants, public library, airports, and many more that allows you to connect to the Internet while on-the-go. To setup Wi-Fi in your home, first you need is active high speed Internet connection. Your ISP will provide you either a cable modem or wireless gateway.

Источник Find Cable TV Providers In Your Area Compare plans, prices, and check for cable TV providers by ZIP code, address, or location. Search by Zip Code Table of Contents: Table of Contents: Cable TV Providers In My Area Looking for cable TV providers in your area? InMyArea.com has you covered. We’ve partnered with the largest TV providers in the nation to find the best plans available to you. Whether you’re moving to a new city, doing research, or you just want to switch to a new provider, you’re in the right place. Simply type in your zip code and we’ll show you a list of the best TV plans in your area, so you can compare and shop at the click of a button. The different types of television available to you will vary by location. For the most part, cable TV can be delivered through 3 different types of connections: wired, satellite, or online streaming. A wired cable connection delivers all of the shows that you love through copper and fiber-optic cables that are strung along telephone poles or buried underground. The second option for cable TV delivery is a satellite connection. This is a great choice for rural residents, as telephone lines and underground cables are limited in remote locations. Satellite TV is also a great option in highly populated areas, thanks to its widespread availability, diverse channel offerings, and competitive pricing. The last option for watching cable TV is through online streaming. TV streaming has become popular due to the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Now. Many of the nation’s top cable TV providers now offer streaming services in their packages, so you can get all of the shows that you want. Whatever it is that you need, we’re here to make sure you find the best TV provider and plan that fits your budget and preferences. DIRECTV Compare Best TV Providers Click a Brand to learn more: Picking The Best TV Provider Picking the right cable TV provider can be a challenge, but we’ve done our best to make the process as easy as possible for you. Some factors to consider when choosing a provider are your monthly budget, which channels and programs you want in your package, length of contract, and availability of TV and internet bundles or discounts. Let’s say you’re a movie fanatic and you want to have access to all the best movie channels without breaking the bank. Spectrum may be your best option for cable TV. If you’re a die hard sports fan, you’ll want channels like ESPN, the Big Ten Network, and the NFL Network. DIRECTV has the largest variety of these sports networks, along with NFL Sunday Ticket, so this provider’s satellite TV packages are a great option. If you’re looking for the channel packages that offer the most variety, we’d highly recommend DIRECTV. This provider’s diverse plans and extra perks will satisfy all of your TV needs. Whether you want movie channels, prime-time sports networks, or a library of 10,000 on-demand titles, DIRECTV has it all. You’ll also have access to one of the largest selections of HD channels on the market, so you can watch all your shows in crystal clear quality. Picking The Right Cable TV Package The best way to pick the right TV package is to first set your budget. Next, ask yourself which channels you’d like to be included in your package. Most providers offer a similar set of core channels for every plan. With each plan upgrade, the provider adds either more HD or premium channels to justify the added cost. Some of these channels may be foreign networks that you can’t normally get in the U.S. or even commercial-free movie channels. None of us want our favorite movie to be interrupted by an annoying commercial break. Most providers also offer access to On-Demand libraries filled with hundreds or even thousands of titles for you to enjoy at any time. Make sure to check out the free perks included in your chosen package. For example, Spectrum gives its subscribers free HD channels on some of its plans. Premium packages from Spectrum also include movie channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, and STARZ, as well as the NFL Network and NFL Redzone at no extra cost. Now that’s what we call a deal! Some consumers argue that they don’t need cable TV subscriptions because they can just subscribe to a streaming service from a certain network and watch their shows from streaming ready devices. However, the 200 million Americans that still have cable would disagree. Did you know that your cable TV subscription probably includes these streaming services? Why limit yourself to one network or pay for and manage multiple accounts when you could stream all of your favorite shows in one place? Providers like DIRECTV and Spectrum offer these services and apps at NO additional cost. Watch what you want, where you want, when you want. Find TV Deals By City Should I Cut The Cord on Cable TV? Many customers may opt for the “cord-cutting” route and purchase streaming subscriptions directly from networks that have shows they like. Many users lean toward this service because it’s cheaper and they can trim the fat by removing all the unnecessary programming they don’t watch and pay for the ones they do. While this might seem like a good idea on paper, for just a few extra dollars a month, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one network, or one free episode on these streaming services. Access all of your favorite shows and networks in a single place with providers like DIRECTV and Spectrum. Picture this. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, and you want to rewatch your favorite show for the tenth time. You log into your Netflix account and realize to your horror that your show has been taken off of the service. How are you supposed to binge watch now? Stand alone streaming services are notorious for adding and removing titles from their library abruptly and without explanation. Your favorite show or movie might be there one day and gone the next. With cable TV, you can set up a series recording for your show so you can watch every episode. While Netflix might stop airing your show mid-series, the show’s TV network won’t. Many providers like DIRECTV and Spectrum also offer On-Demand features with thousands of titles that you can watch from any of your devices at anytime. This means you can still binge watch your favorite shows at no additional cost. You’ll also be able to watch your shows as soon as they air with a cable or satellite TV connection. With streaming services like Netflix, you might not be able to watch the season for several months after it airs on live TV. By the time the latest season shows up on Netflix, your friends will have spoiled all the important plotlines and shocking moments. You simply can’t get the live sports experience with internet based streaming services that you can get from cable TV. Don’t believe us? We’ll give you an example. Let’s say you’re watching the Super Bowl on your favorite streaming service. There’s 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and your team is about to score the winning touchdown. Suddenly, the screen freezes. Now you’re stuck screaming at your laptop or TV, not knowing if your team won the biggest game of the entire season. (And yes, this has actually happened before). When it comes to standalone streaming services like Hulu or Sling TV, your viewing experience is completely dependent on your internet connection. So if the internet goes down or there are a ton of people in your neighborhood online at the same time, your speeds might be slow. You’ll likely experience buffering, lagging, or even a completely frozen screen. With cable TV, you’ll never have to worry about missing a moment, because the connection doesn’t rely on your internet. Don’t be that guy that misses the last 2 minutes of the Super Bowl: NO ONE wants to be that guy. DIRECTV is the go to satellite TV provider for sports fanatics. Get exclusive access to every live game every Sunday with NFL Sunday Ticket. Watch your favorite teams on your TV or stream the games on your laptop, phone, tablet, or gaming console. NFL Sunday Ticket also comes with the DIRECTV Fantasy Zone Channel, so you can get all the stats you need on your fantasy team. You’ll also have access to Player Tracker, which lets you keep tabs on the stats of your 20 favorite players. Have too many live games going on at the same time? The DIRECTV Red Zone Channel lets you watch multiple games at once, on the same screen. You’ll never miss a touchdown again. Search For Internet Providers by Zip Code Search by Zip Code Fiber-Optic TV Providers Fiber-Optic TV is one of the newest types of television technology. Light travels through glass or plastic cables to deliver all of your favorite channels. These cables are much stronger than the copper cables used for cable TV, and they can transmit data across further distances while still maintaining the same high quality picture and sound. Fiber is typically the most reliable option, because the connection isn’t affected by power outages or bad weather like cable and satellite TV are. Many fiber TV providers offer bundles with fiber internet, which is extremely fast. One of the downfalls to fiber television is that it has limited availability because it’s a newer technology, so it may not be offered in your area. These fiber cables must also be installed perfectly by a professional to function properly, which is part of the reason that availability is limited. Fiber TV tends to be a more expensive option, but its incredible HD quality and reliability are worth the price! Cable TV Providers Cable TV is widely available to U.S. residents, so it’s a very popular option. This connection transmits information via an electric current that travels through copper cables buried underground. If cable TV is available in your area, the installation process should be pretty painless, as the infrastructure is already in place. Cable television is a great option for those that don’t want to commit to long-term contracts. Some providers like Spectrum offer “no contract” options, but when a contract is required, it’s typically shorter than those required for satellite TV. Cable TV plans tend to be more expensive than satellite, and the HD quality isn’t as good. However, many providers let you bundle TV with high-speed cable internet to save on your monthly bill! Satellite TV Providers So how does satellite TV work? Satellite TV transmits signals from a satellite up in space to a dish on the roof of your home. This communication between the two satellites is what gives you the ability to watch television. Satellite TV is a great option for those that live in rural areas, because it’s much more widely available than other types of TV. Cable and fiber TV require wires and cables, and this infrastructure is often not present in remote areas. Virtually anyone can get satellite TV, unless the signal is hindered by a foreign object, or the resident can’t install a dish. Satellite also offers better picture quality and has the most HD channels available out of all types of TV. Not only is the quality great, but satellite TV packages are typically cheaper than fiber or cable TV. One drawback to satellite is that it usually requires a long term contract. Make sure you’re ready to commit, because most providers will charge an early termination fee if you decide to cancel before your contract is up. Also, the quality of your satellite TV programming can be hindered by extreme weather conditions. What Kind of Perks Come with TV Equipment? TV providers are stepping up the game when it comes to DVR and television equipment capabilities. Scroll through thousands of on demand titles, record all of your favorite shows, and watch your stored recordings on multiple TV’s at once: all from a single box. Specific recording features will vary by provider and receiver. The DIRECTV Genie is the premier HD DVR on the market. With Genie you can connect up to 8 TV’s to a single DVR, record up to 5 HD programs at once, and browse through over 10,000 On Demand titles. Got home too late to catch that new episode of your favorite show that you’ve been waiting all week to see? No problem. You can rewind live TV up to 72 hours with Genie, so you’ll never miss a premiere ever again. Control what your children can watch. Schedule or watch recordings from your laptop, tablet, or phone. Discover new programs that you’ll love with Genie’s personalized recommendation feature. The possibilities are endless! Make sure to check the fine print when it comes to equipment fees. Some providers include the DVR for free, while others charge a monthly fee. Features HD Channels On Demand Library Parental Control Rewind Live TV DVR Included With Triple Play Bundle Basic DVR include with «The Most Fios TV» plan Record Shows 5 2-6 2-12 Storage 800 hours of SD, 200 hours of HD Varies Varies On Demand Titles 10,100+ 10,100+ 170,100+ What is the TV Installation Process Like? What can you expect when it comes to TV installation? The process, price, and equipment required will vary by provider, location, and the type of TV that you choose. Some providers offer free standard installation for all TV plans, while others have a one time fee, so keep your eyes peeled for the best deal! If you’re purchasing satellite TV, a professional will come to your home and set up a dish on the roof or balcony. This installation process tends to take longer than it would for cable or fiber TV because of the large equipment that’s required. You can expect the installer to be at your home for several hours, whereas cable installation typically only takes 1-3 hours. Take advantage of that time by asking any questions you might have about how your new TV connection works. The installer will be happy to help! DIRECTV installation comes free with all of the provider’s packages. Many customers can even opt for next-day installation. However, if you want to start watching your favorite shows before your installation process, with DIRECTV you can! As soon as your order has been confirmed, you can log into the DIRECTV app and start watching from your mobile device. The installation process for cable or fiber TV will be relatively easy if your home already has a cable or fiber connection from past service. There are a few things that you can do to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible. Make sure all of the TVs that you want to be connected are in the house at the time of installation. Keep the area around your TV open so that the technician has room to work. If you’re getting satellite, make sure the technician will have easy access to your balcony or roof where the dish will be mounted. Set aside enough time in your schedule for the technician to complete the entire process. Keep your phone on hand in the days and hours leading up to your appointment, so that the technician can call and confirm or alert you to any changes. Are Internet & TV Bundles Worth It? If you’re looking for ways to save on your monthly cable bill, we have one word for you: bundles. Most TV providers offer generous discounts and awesome perks when you bundle your service with high-speed internet and voice. You can even get freebies like free installation and equipment, so say goodbye to extra fees! Can I Find a Cheap Cable TV Plan? Internet streaming services also require a high-speed internet connection. If your internet isn’t fast enough, you’ll probably experience lots of buffering and lagging during your shows. Many cord cutters end up paying extra for a faster internet plan, just so they can stream their shows. Cable, fiber, and satellite TV aren’t dependent on internet, so you’ll never have to worry about inconsistent sound and picture quality. If you do need internet, why not get all of your services in the same place? You can bundle your TV service with internet to save even more every month. Search For Tv Providers by Zip Code Search by Zip Code How do On-Demand Titles & Apps Work? Some people make the assumption that cable or satellite TV limits you to watching live programming from your television set at home. However, most of the nation’s largest TV providers offer SO much more than that. Seriously, the perks are endless. Let’s say you’re Drew. Drew watches all sorts of different networks: sports, reality TV, sitcoms, HBO, you name it. He also hates dealing with commercials. Every Friday Drew has a movie night with friends and family, so he wants lots of on demand options. He travels often and likes to watch TV on his tablet in the hotel room while he’s away. Sometimes he misses his favorite premieres while he’s on the road. So what can a TV package do for Drew? With a cable, fiber, or satellite TV package, Drew will have access to all of his favorite networks in one place. No need to sign up for 4 different streaming services to get the shows that he wants. He’s covered with a single TV package. Thanks to amazing DVR equipment like the DIRECTV Genie, Drew can record all of his favorite shows and movies, even if the shows air at the same time. And, he can fast forward through all of those boring commercials. This also means that he’ll never have to miss a season premiere or new episode of the Bachelor while he’s on the road. Drew can even watch his recordings or live TV on his tablet from the comfort of the hotel room. Many TV providers also offer On Demand options that give you access to thousands of free titles to watch, so movie night will be a breeze. The only problem he’ll have will be choosing something to watch from all those titles! Do TV Packages have Contracts? Some cable TV providers require you to commit to a long-term contract while others don’t. The length and terms of your contract will vary by the provider you choose and your location. Typically, you can expect the contract length to range from 1 to 3 years. For instance, DIRECTV’s contracts are two years long, while Xfinity’s range from one to two years depending on the plan that you choose. On the other hand, Spectrum will never make you sign a contract. Is it better to go with a long term commitment or a “no contract” option? There are pros and cons to both alternatives. Typically, a long-term contract comes at a discounted monthly rate, so that you can save over time. Contracts may also come with perks like free installation, free equipment, or extra premium channels. If you know exactly what service you want and that you’ll need cable TV for the next few years, the contract is worth it. However, for those that are unsure of how long they’ll want TV service, a no contract option is the way to go. You might end up paying a bit more a month on average, but you’ll be able to cancel whenever you want. Many providers will make you pay early termination fees if you decide to cancel your TV service before your contract is up. The easiest way to compare your contract options is to type in your zip code!
