Ranked
Every provider in Tempe
Ordered by our score, which weighs technology, speed, symmetry, the real two-year cost and the terms. How we rank.
Lumen's fiber brand. Symmetrical multi-gig with locked pricing, rolling out fastest in Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis and Seattle.
Independent telco building fiber into small cities and resort towns across 16 states, often alongside its older copper and cable plant.
Cable service across 41 states with no data caps and no contracts. Straightforward pricing for the first year, then a large step-up.
Cable and fiber in the New York tri-state area plus former Suddenlink territory in the South and West. Cheap entry tiers, no data caps.
Home internet over AT&T's 5G network. Flat $60, self-install in minutes, and a reasonable fallback where no wire reaches the house.
Cable across 17 states with strong metro coverage in Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego and New Orleans. Good speeds, above-average prices.
The widest fixed-wireless footprint in the country. One flat price with taxes included, and it reaches plenty of places cable never did.
Cable serving small and mid-size Midwest and Southern markets that the national operators never built. Often the only wired option in town.
Low-earth-orbit satellite. The only satellite service with latency low enough for video calls, and it works essentially anywhere with sky.
The other geostationary satellite option. Cheaper than Viasat at the entry tier, with the same latency limits.
Geostationary satellite covering the whole country. Latency makes it a last resort, but it reaches addresses nothing else does.
Coverage is recorded by city, not by street address, and availability in the US changes block by block. Confirm with the provider before you plan around any of this.
