While there are other fiber providers besides the ones mentioned above, Google Fiber, AT&T Fiber, Quantum Fiber, Frontier, and Verizon Fios all get over 4 out of 5 stars in their individual internet provider reviews on our website. These high scores mean that each of these providers meet a high standard across speed and reliability, dollar value, and overall customer experience.
Google Fiber scores the highest among all fiber providers because it offers fast symmetrical speeds at reasonable prices. While very few households need gigabit and multigig internet speeds, there’s no harm in getting the fastest speeds when they’re the same price as a slower cable internet plan. Google Fiber has a great reputation as well—while other providers get dinged for their drawn-out customer service, Google Fiber customer service calls are answered within seven seconds according to the provider’s website.
The drawback is that Google Fiber isn’t as widely available as other providers. You may have a higher chance of being able to sign up for AT&T Fiber since it has the largest fiber network in the country. AT&T gets great customer reviews and offers speeds starting from 300Mbps for $55 per month. This lower speed tier is a more suitable option for one to three people and is more affordable than Google Fiber’s gigabit plans.
If you really want to save money without skimping on quality, Frontier and Quantum Fiber are your best friends. Both providers offer plans cheaper than $50 per month. However, Quantum Fiber’s prices stay consistent month to month, whereas Frontier does introduce a price increase of $10–$25 per month after your first year of service.
Verizon Fios is also a top-ranking provider with greater availability, although mostly concentrated in the East Coast. Both AT&T and Verizon offer monthly discounts when you have a mobile plan as well, so you might want to consider bundling your mobile and home internet services under one provider.
