Best Unlimited Internet for 2025: No Data Caps, No Problems

Our take: Spectrum Internet offers unlimited data with every plan without charging an arm and a leg—its cable plans start at $50 for 500Mbps, a good bargain. And that price stays low with no cancellation fees and negligible equipment fees. (You can also avoid those equipment fees by buying your own devices beforehand.) 

Spectrum performs well in speed tests, with download speeds averaging over 200Mbps. It offers cable internet service (and a little fiber) and is so widespread that for some folks, it’s their only option. For instance, a reviewer named T. H. on HighSpeedInternet.com says that Spectrum is all that’s available in their area. That could be annoying if Spectrum doesn’t meet your needs, but it’s good news if it does: Chances are high that you live in an eligible service area. And don't forget to check out Spectrum's current deals for new customers.

Annoyingly, all Spectrum plans have an automatic price hike. But there are also lots of ways you can potentially save money on Spectrum to balance things out. Read our Spectrum Internet review.

Yes, all Spectrum Internet plans have unlimited data.

Yes, Spectrum’s seven-year ban on data caps (following its 2016 acquisition of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks) is over. However, according to Light Reading, parent company Charter Communications doesn’t plan to go back to data limits.

Spectrum Mobile’s Unlimited Plus plan has no data cap.

Our take: As an unlimited 5G internet provider available in 49 states with reasonable prices, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet practically sells itself. One flat monthly price covers the service, the equipment, and the unlimited data. There are no extra charges and no price hikes. And you receive a $15 monthly discount on your T-Mobile 5G Home Internet plan if you have Autopay and you're also a T-Mobile cellular customer. 

“We launched T-Mobile 5G Home Internet to bring a reliable, affordable alternative to traditional broadband—and largely, to give people choice,” explains Katie Brinton, a T-Mobile spokesperson.

Like other 5G providers, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet runs off a cellular network, making it slightly less reliable than other, wired internet (like cable or fiber). In other words, if the occasional outage is unacceptable, the service may not be for you.

Still, despite not using a wired connection, T-Mobile 5G is surprisingly stable and a real crowd-pleaser. It offers competitive internet deals and has scored top marks in multiple customer service satisfaction surveys, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Read our T-Mobile 5G Home Internet review.

Yes, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet truly has unlimited data. However, if you exceed 1.2TB of high-speed data in a month, you may experience some slowdown.

The best T-Mobile internet plan that won’t break the bank is the $50 Rely Home Internet plan. The only reason to pay $20 more each month for the All-In plan is if you need a large mesh network.

T-Mobile launched its fiber service in Manhattan in 2021 and now works with open-access fiber companies, recently acquiring Lumos Networks to expand further. It’s available in eight states, with the most coverage in Florida, but there’s no word on where it’s headed next. If you're a lucky Floridian or live in the other seven states, make sure to check out T-Mobile's fiber deals.

Yes, you can get T-Mobile phone and internet together. You even receive a $15 monthly discount on your T-Mobile 5G Home Internet plan if you’re also a T-Mobile cellular customer.

Our take: Google Fiber is both our “best overall” provider for 2025 and a contender in the unlimited internet space. Like T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, Google Fiber charges one flat monthly fee for everything: Service, equipment, and unlimited data. At such a good deal, why not snatch the opportunity to google questions on Google Chrome using Google Fiber? (Googleception, as it were.)

Google Fiber is also very fast, starting at 1,000Mbps and going up to 8,000. “There’s no lag, so I don’t have to worry about my internet ever when I’m playing League of Legends or Apex Legends,” says Noah Allen, a Google Fiber customer in Provo, Utah.

The only true drawback to Google Fiber is that it’s mostly available in big cities and tech meccas, and its new Core 1 Gig, Home 3 Gig, and Edge 8 Gig plans are only available in a few states. But if it’s not in your area yet, don’t despair—it might come in the future. In the meantime, you can try another unlimited fiber internet, like AT&T Fiber or Verizon Fios. Read our Google Fiber review.

Google Fiber starts at $70 for 1,000Mbps each month and goes up to $150 for 8,000Mbps.

Yes and no; whether Google Fiber is better than cable internet depends on your definition of “better.” More specifically, Google Fiber is faster and in many cases more reliable than cable internet providers.

Google Fiber is probably overkill for most households. A typical household needs only the 1,000Mbps plan (and that’s likely still faster than necessary). Only a mansion with thousands of smart devices or a home with a large video production business in the basement would require one of the other plans.

Our take: AT&T Fiber is an excellent unlimited fiber internet service with a wider coverage area than other fiber providers we recommend. Every AT&T Fiber plan includes unlimited data. While the monthly costs aren’t flat (you pay a little extra for equipment fees unless you buy your own hardware from a third party), there are no set price hikes or cancellation costs.

AT&T Fiber is also beloved by customers—and no, that’s not an exaggeration. AT&T scores well on customer satisfaction surveys, and most of the people who’ve spoken to me about the service have had only good things to say.

“AT&T’s fiber network is fast and reliable,” says longtime customer Lauren Hannula.

Like with many internet providers, AT&T is not available in every city, but it’s far more widespread than most of its fiber competitors. If you end up moving to another city or state, there’s a decent chance you might be able to bring it along. Read our AT&T Internet review.

Yes, AT&T Fiber is actually unlimited. However, fiber isn’t available in all AT&T service areas. If you have legacy AT&T DSL (no longer offered to new customers), you may have a 1.2TB data cap, after which you pay $10 for each additional 50GB of data you use each month.

Yes, all AT&T Fiber internet plans have unlimited data.

AT&T Fiber is one of two AT&T internet options. AT&T also sells AT&T Internet Air, a wireless option. AT&T also technically has DSL internet service, but it’s no longer offered to prospective customers.

Our take: What astounds about cable-and-fiber provider Astound? Mainly its low price—which is all the more incredible when you know that every plan comes with unlimited data. Plans start at a record low of $20 a month. Even with extra costs like equipment rental and late fees, that’s still a great bargain.

“I believe we're getting a good deal,” says customer Daniel Meursing, who uses Astound for his high-end staffing business. “While Astound Broadband isn't perfect, it has proven to be a valuable tool in our arsenal.”

Astound Broadband has a fairly limited service area, so not everyone has the chance to enjoy its discount plans. And Astound customers do eventually bump up against mandatory price hikes. But the price is so good that it’s still worth signing up, even if you have to switch to another internet provider down the road. Read our Astound Broadband review.

No, Astound doesn’t have a data limit. However, it does have a limit on high-speed data with some plans. The 100Mbps plan comes with 400GB of high-speed data. The 500Mbps plan comes with 1TB. Meanwhile, the plans with 940Mbps and above have no limitations.

Astound Broadband price hikes vary, depending on your region and sign-up deal. Just be prepared for an increase after one to two years.

You can get Astound Broadband on the West Coast or in the Northeast, Midwest, or Texas (yee-haw!). It’s cobbled together from a bunch of other providers acquired by Astound, so plans and prices vary from region to region.

How do these unlimited internet providers with no data caps stack up against each other?

When you consider every piece of unlimited internet—not just the lack of data caps but the speed, cost, reliability, and location—Spectrum Internet is the clear winner. It’s fast, affordable, reliable, and in most U.S. states. And though it has price hikes—a drag—there’s so much going for Spectrum that you can hardly go wrong with it.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and Google Fiber come after Spectrum and have a surprising amount in common. Both offer flat-fee, unlimited internet services known for innovation and smooth connections. However, T-Mobile is cheaper and more widely available than Google Fiber—while Google Fiber offers faster speeds and a stable, physical connection. Neither has price hikes like Spectrum does.

After Google Fiber, I recommend AT&T Fiber as an unlimited fiber option. It’s not as widely available as Spectrum, but it’s far more accessible than Google Fiber, and it’s known for its satisfied customers.

Finally, Astound Broadband has unlimited data but costs very little, at least before its price hikes kick in. Although Astound is another provider with a small service area, those able to sign up can save a significant amount before they’re driven away by the price increases.

Four of these providers have symmetrical speeds (meaning equal download and upload speeds). So if uploading media is your jam, any of these but T-Mobile is a viable option, although Spectrum is still rolling out symmetrical internet in some areas.

If none of the unlimited providers above work for you, don’t despair. There are plenty of other internet service providers without data caps. Here are some of my favorites that didn’t make the top five.

If none of these best providers are available where you live, you still have options. There’s sure to be an unlimited internet provider (or two or three) in your area.

Home internet costs about $81 a month on average, but you can get great unlimited Wi-Fi for less in many parts of the country. In a rural area, look for a fixed wireless or satellite internet provider—many of which also have unlimited data.

You can also run a search with your zip code below to see what internet options are available in your area.

The main thing to know when looking for unlimited internet? No data caps means no data caps! When you purchase a service with unlimited data, you don’t pay extra for that data, no matter how much you use.

However, Internet networks have only so much capacity. So to avoid overload, some unlimited internet service providers cap your high-speed or priority data. After a certain amount (usually 1.2TB), you may see some slowdown.

It’s a little sneaky, but it shouldn’t affect you much—1.2TB is a truly insane amount of data, and most households don’t even come close to hitting that in a month.

Expand your online horizons with unlimited internet.
