1.Spectrum

Spectrum is one of the more well-known and widely available internet providers that have made our list. They’re great if you’re looking for a cable internet solution that doesn’t have many surprise add-on fees tacked onto your bill every month. You’ll get a free modem, antivirus software, access to Spectrum Wi-Fi hotspots and other perks. We’ve rated Spectrum first on our list because Spectrum lets you use your internet freely without data caps, overage charges, speed throttling or shutting you off. Plus if you decide to, you can get internet, TV, home phone and mobile phone needs satisfied in one monthly bill.

2.Xfinity

Xfinity is the largest cable internet provider in the United States with some of the fastest internet speeds available for cable internet. We’ve rated Xfinity second on our list because although they have a very extensive network, their plans are not simple or easy to understand. Plans, prices and speeds can vary greatly by location and they all come with a data cap except the highest 2000 Mbps tier which is very hard to get. The data allowance is very generous for capped plans, however if your family has a power user, it is something to keep in mind before making the switch.

3.Optimum

Optimum is an underrated internet provider that deserves more attention. All their plans come with speeds that are fairly future proof and you get the added perk of super cheap mobile phone service exclusive to Optimum customers. We’ve rated Optimum third on our list because they’re an excellent choice for a cable internet provider if you have them available. Unfortunately their coverage map is very limited compared to large internet providers.

4.WOW!

WOW or Wide Open West internet has great internet plans for families that are on a budget, but also love to stream their TV service or game regularly. WOW! does have no contract internet plans available if you ask for it, but they also will cost you a little bit more money to be able to cancel at any time. If that’s something that’s important to your family, it’s there. We’ve rated WOW! fourth on our list because their availability is limited to the Midwest and small areas in the south. However, they’re still a great choice and with their mid-range plans you’ll get a good bang for your buck.

5.Cox Communications

Cox Communications has a lot of extras that anyone can enjoy like free online storage, web mail, security suite and 24/7 technical support. If you’re unsure of how much speed your family truly needs, Cox can be a good choice because they have many internet plans to choose from covering a wide range of users. We’ve rated Cox Communications fifth on our list because all of their plans have capped data and they will throttle or even suspend your service if you don’t contact them to upgrade your plan before the next billing cycle.
