Internet Provider Reviews in Boston, MA

EarthLink, Xfinity, and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet offer the best internet in Boston, Massachusetts. It may be surprising that EarthLink’s fiber options may be the best ones in town. With unlimited data, 5Gig speeds, and locked-in prices, its services may be a better bet over T-Mobile’s 5G home internet. However, T-Mobile comes with easy self-installation, no equipment fees, and a fantastic mobile line discount. Xfinity is also a solid and fast cable provider with lots of internet deals for new customers.

Lucky for Bostonians on the hunt for fiber, I found a wicked sweet deal on EarthLink Internet—100Mbps fiber internet for $39.95 per month (normally $59.99 per month), and a price lock for 12 months. Or the 100GB Essentials Plan for $49.95 per month (normally $59.95 per month). See the best EarthLink deals below or check out our roundup of EarthLink's latest internet deals.

Xfinity Internet volunteers as tribute to fund your next shopping spree: I found that internet customers who sign up for higher-tier plans can often get money back via reward cards. In many cases, the signing price is guaranteed for at least the first year. The best offer I've seenr ight now is Xfinity's new 5-Year Price Guarantee, which locks in any of its internet plan prices for five full years. Customers can also add on an Unlimited Mobile line for one full year (for free). Check out a full list of Xfinity Internet promotions to learn more.
