We rated the largest internet providers in the U.S. for 2025. Each provider was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 based on over a dozen factors, including speed, cost, availability, fees, customer satisfaction, connection type and more. We also used data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to compare the average speed offered by internet companies in the U.S. to set a baseline for what is considered a good internet speed. Additionally, we analyzed data from the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) to understand how each internet service provider (ISP) fares in customer service and perceived value.
Internet technology in Arizona
Connection type is a major factor when it comes to home Wi-Fi performance. Arizona internet providers offer several different options, each of which has pros and cons.
Fiber internet, for instance, is the fastest and most reliable option. However, it’s only available in less than 20% of the state. Cable and fixed wireless providers offer service in most of Arizona, and 5G fixed wireless can compete with cable’s gigabit connectivity in some cases. Where none of these are available, satellite internet is always an option, though its connection speeds are much slower. Here’s a look at the typical pricing, speed, and service availability for each of these internet technologies in Arizona.
