Ranked
Every provider in Glendale
Ordered by our score, which weighs technology, speed, symmetry, the real two-year cost and the terms. How we rank.
Cable service across 41 states with no data caps and no contracts. Straightforward pricing for the first year, then a large step-up.
The largest cable provider in the country. Wide availability and fast downloads, but uploads lag fiber and the price steps up sharply once the promo ends.
A reseller rather than a network owner: it buys capacity on other carriers' lines and sells it with no data caps and no throttling.
Cable across 17 states with strong metro coverage in Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego and New Orleans. Good speeds, above-average prices.
Home internet over AT&T's 5G network. Flat $60, self-install in minutes, and a reasonable fallback where no wire reaches the house.
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.
