Methodology
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.
How to choose an internet provider in Phoenix, AZ
The first step to selecting a Phoenix internet provider is to find which ISPs are available near you. Enter your address on this page to discover internet deals at your location. Then, consider the following features to determine the best plan for you.
Budget: The cheapest Phoenix internet plans start around $50/mo. for 100–500 Mbps. Set a realistic budget for yourself before you choose a plan. Equipment, installation fees, taxes and surcharges will add to the initial startup and monthly costs. Promotional rates can increase after six, 12 or 24 months with some ISPs.
Online use: Consider how you use the internet in your home. Will you connect to a virtual private network (VPN) to work from home? Will your internet connection need to support gaming, video conferencing or other activities that require a fast upload speed? If so, a connection type with a fast upload speed, such as fiber, would work best. Otherwise, you may be fine with medium-bandwidth cable or fixed wireless connections.
Number of devices: You can technically use as many devices as you want with any plan. However, the more gadgets you have connected at once, the slower your Wi-Fi connection will get, especially if you don’t have a fiber connection. If you plan on having 10 or more devices online simultaneously, consider fiber with a speed of at least 100 Mbps.
These two providers are owned by the same parent company and provide different services in the Southwest. Quantum Fiber’s plans are some of the cheapest fiber internet plans in Phoenix, starting at $50/mo. for 500 Mbps, which is enough internet speed to power an active online household with 6–10 devices.
Most of CenturyLink’s service is DSL, which is significantly slower than cable or fiber. The provider’s DSL plans are also the same price as fiber, so there isn’t a cost savings for going with a slower plan.
CenturyLink does not have contracts or early termination fees (ETFs). Their plans do have unlimited data; however, CenturyLink does charge up to $15/mo. in equipment fees.
Pros
Affordable prices for fiber and DSL.
No contracts or ETFs.
Cons
Slow speeds with DSL.
Monthly equipment fees.
Overall score: 3.3 out of 5 for CenturyLink / 4 out of 5 for Quantum Fiber.
Cox is one of the only cable internet and TV providers in Phoenix, with five plans ranging from 100 Mbps to 2 GB. Bundles start at just under $165/mo. for up to 100 Mbps in speed and over 140 TV channels.
Cox has a data limit on internet plans and will charge overage fees of $10 per 50 GB when you exceed the monthly data cap of 1.25 TB. There are no contracts or cancellation fees with Cox plans.
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet – Most consistent pricing
T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet is known for its simple pricing at $60/mo. with no contracts or equipment fees. With T-Mobile in Phoenix, you can expect download speeds up to 415 Mbps, with upload speeds around 31 Mbps, without data caps. T-Mobile offers $15/mo. in discounts if you bundle your internet with one of its mobile plans. The gateway device (a combo modem and router) is free and easy to install, eliminating installation and equipment fees.
Triad Wireless offers fixed wireless up to 1 GB with plans starting at $50/mo. Plan benefits include unlimited data and a wireless router at no additional charge. Fixed wireless requires a good line of sight to the nearest Triad Wireless tower, so a technician must visit your address to make sure service is possible. Triad reaches about 57% of the Phoenix area.
Verizon 5G – Best mobile bundle discount
Verizon offers 5G Home and 5G Home Plus internet plans in Phoenix. Bundling either of these plans with a Verizon mobile plan will cut your cost nearly in half. For the Home plan, you’ll pay $35/mo. instead of $50/mo., and for the Home Plus plan, your bill will be $55/mo. rather than $70/mo. With 5G Home Plus, you can expect to get speeds between 300 and 1,000 Mbps, which is more than enough speed to connect several devices for online streaming and gaming.
Verizon’s 5G Home Internet has no annual contracts, extra fees, data overages or equipment charges. You have the option to self-install, and Verizon supplies 30 days of support with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Cox and Quantum Fiber provide the cheapest internet in Phoenix, starting at $50/mo. However, you can save big on plans from T-Mobile and Verizon by bundling home internet and cell services.
