Types of Internet Service Providers Nationwide

Cable

Cable internet uses the same wires that deliver cable television, making it easy to bundle with TV. It is capable of fast speeds and is available in most neighborhoods.

Pros
  • Fast download speeds
  • Widely available
Cons
  • Limited upload speeds
  • Slower speeds during high-traffic times

DSL

A digital subscriber line (DSL) connection works similar to a phone line, but it’s much faster than old-school dial-up. DSL delivers broadband speeds on a reliable connection that’s often a cheaper alternative to newer technologies like fiber.

Pros
  • Very affordable package options
  • Widely available service
Cons
  • Limited top-end speed
  • Low upload speed

Fiber

Fiber-optic internet flashes light through glass fibers to relay digital information. Its superfast upload and download speeds are unprecedented, but its availability remains limited.

Pros
  • Fast download speeds
  • Phenomenal upload speeds
Cons
  • Limited availability
  • Less affordable

Satellite

Satellite internet uses transmitters orbiting Earth to beam wireless signals to subscribers on the ground. It is capable of broadband speeds and is widely available, making it a great option for rural areas. The only downside is the transmission distance creates occasional lag that can be frustrating to deal with.

Pros
  • Widely available, even in rural areas
  • Good customer service
Cons
  • Unavoidable lag
  • Data restrictions

Wireless

Fixed wireless sends a strong wireless signal directly to your home. This superfast technology is not widely available yet, but providers like Verizon and AT&T have started rolling it out in select major cities. Fixed wireless is expected to push the next big wave of internet technology, called 5G.

Pros
  • Fast download speeds
  • Cutting-edge technology
Cons
  • Limited availability
  • Unfamiliar technology
