Internet Service Providers
webcentivewebcentive - home
Look up every provider at your address on the FCC National Broadband Map, compare plans using the FCC "broadband facts" labels every provider must show, and test what you actually get with free speed tests (Ookla, M-Lab, Fast.com, and the FCC app, which can also challenge a wrong coverage map). Then the major cable and fiber companies, 5G and fixed wireless home internet, satellite service including Starlink for rural and off-grid homes, local and community broadband, and the dial-up services that still exist. BroadbandNow is a commercial comparison site.
