Internet plans are monthly services that allow a customer to access the internet. These are typically sold in packages that allow either more or less internet usage, but can also vary in how quickly the internet service will be. Therefore, there are two variables to consider: the size of your plan (meaning how many gigabytes will you be allowed per month) and the speed of the internet service provided.

Here are the best value internet service plans in the U.S:

1. AT&T’s Internet 100 100Mbps for 49/month
This plan offers both high-speed connections at a rate of 100mbps, while also allowing users to consume a maximum of 1000 gigabytes of data a month. This plan is excellent for the casual internet user that does not want to sacrifice network speed for anything. The only issues that some users may run into is being limited by the 1000 gigabyte limit. Users who enjoy streaming music, streaming video, or uploading video may find themselves burning through their data quickly as these activities require large volumes of data. If this does not apply to you, then this plan is excellent for those looking for a sizable plan with fast speeds.

2. Spectrum Internet 100Mbps for 49.99/month
The beauty of this plan is that there is no cap on internet usage and users do not have to sacrifice speed. Spectrum offers twelve months of internet with speeds of up to 100mbps, and this plan even includes a free modem. Another benefit of this plan is that there is no contract or signup fee, meaning that the advertised price really is what you end up paying. This option is extremely enticing for anyone who wants to use large amounts of data per month while still maintaining speeds high enough to stream, game, watch movies, or upload video.

3. Windstream Enhanced Kinetic 200 200Mbps for 36/month
This plan is very enticing at first glance, as it offers unlimited usage and fast speeds of up to 200mbps;however, under deeper examination, this plan is chock-full of hidden fees. There is a $35 upfront payment that must be made before you can access the internet service, which costs another $36 per month. While this plan has an initial low cost, the cost increases gradually after the first twelve months.

4. Verizon Fios 200/200 200Mbps for 39.99/month
This plan allows users to have network speeds of up to 200mbps, doubling the previous two plans. Verizon also offers no data cap, something very attractive to users who wish to use the internet for data-heavy applications. With such high speeds, this plan is also ideal for anyone who is looking to be able to stream movies and TV shows on the go. An added bonus of going with the Verizon plan is that all Verizon customers receive free access to the Disney+ streaming service for a full twelve months.

5. Viasat Exede Basic 25 25Mbps for 50/month
This plan can be a bit deceiving. They advertise unlimited Internet usage per month with speeds up to 25mbps; however, the truth is a little more limiting. Users are allowed up to 12 gigabytes of data usage during “peak time,” which includes everything from 6am to 3am. In between 3am and 6am, though, users are allowed unlimited data usage. The slower speed of this plan adds another slightly more negative aspect.
