Spectrum is the residential brand of Charter Communications and sells cable internet across a large multi-state footprint. Plans are priced as a first-year rate that reverts to the standard rate afterwards, and none of them carry a term contract or a monthly data allowance. A modem is included in the price; the Advanced WiFi router is bundled on the faster tiers and sold as a monthly add-on on the cheaper ones.
Contract:
No term contract on any plan
Data allowance:
No data cap
Equipment:
Modem included; Advanced WiFi is $10 a month on the cheaper tiers
EarthLink sells internet nationally without owning last-mile infrastructure in most markets, renting capacity on other companies' fiber, copper and wireless networks and billing the customer itself. The catalogue spans fiber from 100 Mbps to 5 Gbps, DSL from 18 to 75 Mbps, and fixed wireless and 5G home service for addresses wired networks do not reach. Fiber and DSL plans include unlimited data. Pricing is not published openly — EarthLink quotes rates only after you enter an address.
Contract:
Twelve-month term on fiber and DSL; 5G home service is month to month
Data allowance:
Unlimited data on fiber and DSL; fixed wireless plans are metered
Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet service, delivered from low-Earth orbit rather than from the geostationary arc, which is why its latency sits far closer to a wired connection than traditional satellite does. US residential service is sold in three speed tiers, with no annual contract. The dish and router are bought up front — $349 for the standard kit — and the customer installs the dish themselves.
Contract:
No annual contract; service is month to month
Data allowance:
Residential plans are sold as unlimited; the entry tier carries priority limits
Equipment:
Standard kit costs $349 up front; rental is offered in some areas
Viasat sells geostationary satellite internet across the continental United States, aimed at addresses where wired broadband has not been built. The current residential lineup is two plans — Essentials, which includes a fixed allowance of high-speed data, and Unleashed, which is unlimited but slows in priority for heavy users. Viasat quotes service speeds of up to 25 to 150 Mbps and states that the figure varies by location, so the tier available at one address may not be available at another.
Contract:
Unleashed is month-to-month; Essentials requires a 12-month service term
Data allowance:
Essentials includes 150 GB of high-speed data; Unleashed is unlimited but deprioritized above roughly 850 GB in 30 days
Equipment:
Dish and modem are leased for $15 per month
Kinetic is the residential brand Windstream sells under, concentrated in small-town and rural markets across the South, the Midwest and the mid-Atlantic. Fiber plans run from 100 Mbps to 2 Gbps and are backed by a price guarantee that lasts one to three years depending on the tier. Where fiber has not been built, Windstream still sells a DSL plan at up to 50 Mbps. No plan carries an annual contract.
Contract:
No annual contract on any plan
Data allowance:
Unlimited data
Equipment:
$10.99 a month for the Kinetic Wi-Fi Gateway; included on Fiber Max 2 Gig
About this data:
Coverage and speeds for this ZIP code were compiled from the availability and speeds each
provider publishes for this area, rather than from the
FCC National Broadband Map.
Speeds shown are the maximum a provider advertises in this area, not a guaranteed or typical
rate. Prices are not published by the FCC, so every price here was taken from a rate the
provider advertised publicly, last checked September 2026 — several
providers quote only after an address check.
Providers report availability by area, so service can differ from one address to the next.
Confirm with the provider before ordering.

Under 25 Mbps
One person, one thing at a time
Email and browsing · Music streaming · Standard-definition video
Below the FCC's definition of broadband. Workable alone, frustrating shared.
25–100 Mbps
A small household
HD streaming on two or three screens · Video calls · Working from home
Enough for most couples and small families. The upload speed matters more than the download here.
100–300 Mbps

The range most households land in, and the one with the most competition on price.

Multiple 4K streams · Uploading video or large files · A house full of devices
Worth paying for if you upload as much as you download. Otherwise the gain is hard to feel.
