Internet providers in 20062

Fiber to the home across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Consistently the highest-rated large ISP in the country for reliability.

The RCN, Grande, Wave and Astound brands under one name. An overbuilder that competes head-on with Xfinity and Spectrum on price.

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.

Fixed wireless over Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband. Cheap if you already have a Verizon phone line, and there is nothing to install.

The widest fixed-wireless footprint in the country. One flat price with taxes included, and it reaches plenty of places cable never did.

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.
