Not only does the provider have the fastest speeds available \u2014 a way-more-than-anyone-needs 4,700 Mbps* \u2014 but its prices are still on the low side. You\u2019ll pay $45.00\/mo.,** plus taxes (w\/ eligible Autopay &amp; Paperless bill), for 100 Mbps,** but there are no price hikes after a year, and that includes the cost of equipment. You\u2019ll also get up to a $150 reward card when you sign up, and AT&amp;T will cover any early termination fees from your previous provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*Speeds based on wired connection.

It\u2019s actually cheaper than AT&amp;T \u2014 $34.99\/mo. for 300 Mbps \u2014 and Verizon locks in your price for three to five years when you sign up. If you\u2019re a Verizon Wireless customer, it\u2019s a no-brainer: the price on all plans is discounted $25\/mo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Fiber: Best for high speeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Fiber is the least available fiber internet provider on our list \u2014 a little over 1% of the country has access to it \u2014 but we think it\u2019s still worth mentioning. There are four plans to choose from: 1,000 Mbps to 8,000 Mbps. If you need bandwidth that high, Google Fiber is an excellent choice.&nbsp;It&#8217;s currently available in 20+ cities including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Atlanta, GA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Austin, TX<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charlotte, NC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Huntsville, AL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kansas City, KS\/MO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nashville, TN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orange County, CA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provo, UT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt Lake City, UT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>San Antonio, TX<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Triangle, NC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>West Des Moines, IA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of fiber internet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_4.png 860w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_4-200x142.png 200w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_4-600x425.png 600w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_4-768x544.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, fiber is the undisputed champion of internet technology. Most internet providers are racing to expand their fiber footprint, and it\u2019s now available in nearly half of the country. But what makes fiber so special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all about bandwidth. Most fiber internet plans start at 300 Mbps \u2014 enough to stream Netflix in 4K on 12 devices at once. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/internet\/cable-internet\/\">Cable internet<\/a> speeds usually start around 50 Mbps, and while they can often reach as high as 1,000 Mbps, you\u2019ll probably pay more for it. DSL and satellite internet, meanwhile, usually don\u2019t get much faster than 25 Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those numbers only refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/internet\/what-internet-speed-do-i-need\/\">download speed<\/a>, which is what\u2019s used to receive data for things like streaming video and scrolling the internet. Upload speed is needed to send data out \u2014 when you\u2019re on a Zoom meeting or online gaming, for instance. When it comes to upload speeds, fiber internet provides the same as download speeds, while cable internet usually gets about ten times less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AT&amp;T\u2019s plan gets you 300 Mbps download and upload speeds, for instance, while Xfinity\u2019s gets you 300 Mbps download but just 10 Mbps upload. That\u2019s a big difference if you have multiple people working or learning from home at the same time, and one of the key reasons for the push to fiber over the past few years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fiber internet availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"1146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64519\" style=\"width:860px;height:1146px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_1.png 860w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_1-150x200.png 150w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_1-450x600.png 450w, https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/MM_Fiber-Internet-Infographics_08.23_1-768x1023.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, you might be thinking, \u201cI\u2019m sold, is there any fiber internet near me?\u201d The answer is basically a coin flip, with fiber internet availability at about 42% of American addresses. Unfortunately, only 3% of addresses have two or more fiber internet providers available to them. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have fiber service at your address, your choice will likely be between fiber and cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see what internet plans are actually available to you, you\u2019ll need to put in your exact address. Because of the way internet providers have installed cable, it\u2019s entirely possible that you may have different options than the house across the street. The only way to know for sure what you can get is to enter your address.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/internet\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/internet\/plans\/ noopener\">Find out if fiber internet is available at your address.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I know if a provider has fiber internet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless a provider mentions \u201cfiber\u201d in their name \u2014 Google Fiber, Verizon Fios, Frontier Fiber \u2014 it might not be immediately obvious if the service they\u2019re offering you is fiber, cable, or some combination of the two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that internet providers don\u2019t leave much room for questions. If they offer fiber internet, they\u2019re probably going to want to brag about it, and you\u2019ll see \u201cfiber\u201d all over their marketing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good way to tell if you\u2019re offered fiber is by comparing the upload and download speeds. If they\u2019re the same, it\u2019s fiber. If upload speeds are well below download, it\u2019s cable, DSL, or 5G home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locking down internet for your new home is one of the most important parts of any move.
