Internet Provider Reviews in Philadelphia, PA

Philly is the City of Brotherly Love, not the City of Internet Options—but there are still solid choices if you need Wi-Fi for your home. Verizon Fios is the best fiber internet provider in town and suitable for almost everyone. Xfinity is an excellent pick too, providing a range of cable internet packages at affordable prices. If you have a small household or you’re a UPenn or Temple student on a budget, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet makes for a cheap, easy-to-install, lower-speed option. Whatever you pick, you get a connection that lets you order a cheesesteak without interruption while streaming Eagles games with ease. That’s a win in our book.
