Fastest Internet Providers In 2025

Google Fiber is a great option for those who want to dial up their internet speed. In addition to minimum expected speeds of 1 Gbps, the company also offers extras like priority room optimizations (so you can choose which rooms get the best internet speeds) and a 25% refund on your internet bill if the internet is down for more than 45 minutes that month.

Why We Like It

In addition to speed, Google Fiber doesn’t require contracts or rental fees for much of its equipment and offers free installation. The company has offered the same prices for more than 13 years, and you can see all plans and pricing on the company’s website without entering any personal information.

What We Don’t Like

Google Fiber is primarily available in cities and is only available (or is soon to be available) in 19 states overall.

Who It’s Best For

Google Fiber is a great high-speed internet provider for those who live in the company’s service area and prioritize speed.

We surveyed 2,200 consumers who purchased home internet within the last two years, and overall, people reported positive experiences with their service. When asked, 86% said they were happy with the company’s upload and download speeds relative to what they pay. Nearly 84% said they found their Google Fiber service to be reliable.

Google Fiber has three different internet plans with speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 8 Gbps. Plan availability will vary by location.

PLAN	SPEED	MONTHLY PRICE	CONNECTION TYPE
Core	1 Gbps	$70	Fiber
Home	3 Gbps	$100	Fiber
Edge	8 Gbps	$150	Fiber

AT&T offers a 100% fiber network for its fiber plans, boasting stable and nearly equal upload and download speeds. The company will also credit you a full day of internet service if you experience 20 minutes or more of downtime, proving that it believes in its dependability. The company has been around for more than a century and offers plentiful customer service options and fairly good customer reviews to back up that experience.

Why We Like It

AT&T offers extras like bundling options, including those that pair fiber internet and TV services. You can also boost your speed with some add-ons like the All-Fi Pro bundle, which includes equipment upgrades, advanced security and whole-home Wi-Fi extenders. This bundle comes included with some of the company’s fastest plans.

What We Don’t Like

AT&T’s fiber service is available in 25 states, but we’d love to see that number grow. Some of its non-fiber plans will also come with data caps.

Who It’s Best For

Those within AT&T’s fiber network will want to consider the company for home internet plans. The deal can be particularly good for those who can bundle services with AT&T cell phone or TV plans.

In our survey of 2,200 consumers who have purchased home internet in the last two years, AT&T scored well with customers. When asked, 88% of AT&T customers surveyed said they were happy with the company’s speeds. It also scored the highest of the companies we looked into for reliability, with 90% of customers saying they were satisfied with this aspect of their service.

AT&T Internet offers a variety of plans, depending on availability, with fiber connectivity. Plans, speeds and pricing will vary based on location, so we recommend reaching out for a quote yourself. However, you can get a sampling below.

PLAN	SPEED	MONTHLY PRICE*	CONNECTION TYPE
Internet 100	100 Mbps	$60.00	Broadband
Fiber 300	300Mbps	$55.00	Fiber
Fiber 500	500Mbps	$65.00	Fiber
Fiber 1000	1 Gbps	$55.00	Fiber
Fiber 2000	2 Gbps	$145.00	Fiber
Fiber 5000	5 Gbps	$245.00	Fiber

Verizon Fios focuses on blending speed and savings. For one, its website touts that its upload speeds are 23+ times faster than cable and that many of its plans include whole-home Wi-Fi extenders. Additionally, though the focus is on how you can save, the company offers many promotions, including guaranteed pricing for three years and bundling options for streaming services such as Max and Disney+.

Why We Like It

With Verizon Fios, you can have high-speed internet with no annual contracts and no data caps for residential users. You can also take advantage of perks like a free router with all plans. We recommend keeping an eye on discounts as these can change often and sweeten the deal.

What We Don’t Like

Verizon Fios is fast, but it isn’t the fastest on our list. So, if you need truly blazing fast speeds at any cost, you may want to look elsewhere. Fios service is also only available in select metro areas of eight states and Washington, D.C., as of publication. And though bundling and discounts can help, we recommend keeping an eye on when and if pricing will change and your price if you don’t bundle, as this isn’t always clear from the get-go.

Who It’s Best For

Verizon Fios is best for those who need fairly high-speed internet and for those who may be Verizon Wireless customers (or who are open to becoming a customer!).

In our recent survey of 2,200 consumers who purchased home internet within the last two years, Verizon Fios had fairly positive reviews from its customers. Roughly 85% of the company’s customers that we surveyed said they were satisfied with Fios’s speed relative to its price. We also noticed that price and speed were nearly tied for the biggest reasons customers chose Fios, at 33% and 30% respectively.

Verizon Fios offers speeds from 300 Mbps to 2 Gbps, but plan costs, availability and speeds will vary by location. Below, you can see a sampling of plan options that may be available to you.

PLAN	MONTHLY PRICE*	CONNECTION TYPE
300 Mbps	$49.99	Fiber
500 Mbps	$74.99	Fiber
1 Gbps	$89.99	Fiber
2 Gbps	$109.99	Fiber

*With auto-pay discounts, but without bundling

We appreciate that Frontier has many plan options available, including one of the highest number of fiber plan options on this list. You also won’t have to sign a contract to get Frontier service, though there are optional gift cards or included free installation that requires a 12-month commitment in some cases. Generally, its prices are competitive as well, especially for fiber plans for the first 12 months, and installation is free.

Why We Like It

Though having so many plan options is never a bad thing, Frontier offers a quiz that can help you choose the best plan for you, which can help those who are overwhelmed with their choices. Frontier does have some bundling options, too, with the ability to pair your internet service with YouTube TV.

What We Don’t Like

As with many providers on this list, we hope to see Frontier offer fiber in additional locations soon. As for its DSL options, it can be difficult to find information about them on its site, which makes it tough for us to recommend it. Customer reviews can also be middling to low in some cases and prices will typically go up after a year, so keep an eye out.

Who It’s Best For

Frontier is best for those in its fiber network who still find its prices to be competitive after the first 12 months.

When we surveyed 2,200 customers who purchased home internet within the last two years, Frontier had fairly middling reviews. When asked about speed, 79% of Frontier customers said they were satisfied with their speeds relative to what they pay. A similar percentage (78%) said they found the company to be transparent around prices and payment terms.

Frontier’s plan availability will depend on your location, as will pricing and connection type, but we’ve included a sampling below. Note that not much information is available on its DSL plans, and the company says it cannot guarantee a speed, so we recommend inquiring further.

PLAN	MONTHLY PRICE*	CONNECTION TYPE
High-Speed Internet	$64.99	DSL
Fiber 500	$29.99	Fiber
Fiber 1 Gig	$49.99	Fiber
Fiber 2 Gig	$64.99	Fiber
Fiber 5 Gig	$89.99	Fiber
Fiber 7 Gig	$109.99	Fiber

*Discounted pricing with Auto Pay for 12 months at qualifying addresses.

Comcast Xfinity has a wide range of plans, which sets it apart from the rest of our list. The company also offers contract or no-contract plans, allowing you even more flexibility. We like that it boasts 99.9% reliability and offers suggestions for which plan is best, based on the number of devices, which can be helpful for those who aren’t clued into internet lingo.

Why We Like It

Xfinity has a plethora of bundling deals, allowing you to save 40% on Apple TV+, Netflix, and Peacock with its StreamSaver deal. Beyond that, you can take advantage of other discounts as they crop up, so we recommend keeping an eye out for the best deal. Though Xfinity isn’t fiber, we like that its network is vast, allowing many customers who aren’t in purely fiber networks to still reach high speeds.

What We Don’t Like

Xfinity’s speeds aren’t the highest on our list, and cable internet is generally less stable and slower than fiber. It does have a data cap on plans, which is a downside, but it’s 1.2 TB, which is usually more than enough. Xfinity’s prices are low, but they can go up sharply after its introductory period, which can make comparison shopping difficult.

Who It’s Best For

Xfinity is a good option for those who aren’t set on fiber internet and can bundle and save with cable or other plans.

Xfinity’s reviews were a bit mixed in our home internet survey. We asked 2,200 consumers who have purchased home internet in the last two years, and of Xfinity’s customers, 77% said they were pleased with the speeds relative to what they pay for. Additionally, 79% said they found pre-installation customer service to be satisfactory.

What Xfinity offers as far as internet plans and how much they cost will vary depending on location, bundling and contract options. You can find a sampling of pricing below, but we always recommend getting your own quote.

PLAN	SPEED	MONTHLY PRICE*	CONNECTION TYPE
Connect	150 Mbps	$19.99	Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable
Connect More	400 Mbps	$25.00	Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable
Fast	600 Mbps	$60.00	Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable
Gigabit	1100 Mbps	$60.00	Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable
Gigabit X2	2100 Mbps	$90.00	Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable

*With price guarantees on a one-year term contract. Taxes and equipment not included. Including up to $10 per month auto-pay & paperless bill discount.
