Popular ISPs Available to Americans

The coronavirus brought with it many changes to daily life. Of all the changes, by far, the most prominent one was the fact that employers were much more ready to have their employees work from long distances away from them. Considering how this saved operational costs for employers and commute costs for employees, the idea rose in popularity tenfold and is still very popular.

The key ingredient that enables the remote working phenomenon is the internet. Given how so many people are working remotely as compared to previous times, there has been a huge increase in instances of people on the hunt for reliable internet service providers. The World Factbook of the Central Intelligence Agency estimates that there are now up to 7,000 internet service providers operating just inside the United States of America. This makes picking one of them quite difficult. 

However, you cannot choose one at random from the available options since, as was said before, having high-quality internet is essential in today’s remote-working world. In the paragraphs below, we have identified and described a few of the more significant options when it comes to internet service provision brands. The features of each that we will discuss include their typical target audiences, network transmission types, and speeds. Other topics like the history of the internet service provision brands may also be covered.

Xfinity

When it comes to the realm of internet services, Xfinity Internet is among the finest. If you had not already guessed from the name, the company really strives to provide the fastest internet in the whole United States of America. In addition to being one of the quickest, Xfinity Internet has established a reputation as one of the most trustworthy names in the ISP industry. 

The xFi Gateway, the company’s WiFi technology, has been improved throughout the years such that every home of an Xfinity internet user gets consistent and relatively uniform coverage in every room. Finally, the company offers free internet security to all of its customers. Such internet protection is quite helpful in today’s age when viruses are very common. To top it all off, the prices of Xfinity internet plans are also kept at reasonable levels. 

AT & T

Many people are familiar with the name AT&T as a cellular service provider. Over the years, the firm has also begun to provide internet service in addition to cellular service. Not just any internet service, though – your electronic devices will be able to connect at rates of thousands of megabits per second if you subscribe to the brand. As a result, it competes with Comcast Xfinity in many ways. 

Spectrum

Along with Comcast Xfinity and AT&T, Spectrum completes what we like to refer to as the “Big Three” of internet providers. This brand likewise supports rates of thousands of megabits per second, just like the two providers mentioned above. Additionally, internet modems and antivirus protection software are included with your Spectrum Internet service. Spectrum also enables you to implement parental controls since it understands that many parents are concerned about how their kids are using the internet. 

Frontier

Frontier Communications’s story of providing internet service is interesting. The brand initially only provided service to rural regions. However, as time went on, it expanded its subscriber base to include metropolitan regions. This is different from the norm as services usually start from metropolitan areas and then make their way to rural areas. 

Frontier provides television, internet, and cellphone services. In fact, purchasing a combined internet and television subscription will save you money. 

Wrapping Up

Well, there you go. We made an effort to include all of the significant internet service providers in the United States of America in this post. We would be lying if we said that we have covered all of them in this article. However, we believe we have covered the ones that traditionally appeal to Americans the most both in cities as well as villages. 

One thing that is especially good about these brands is that they are all part of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s Affordable Connectivity Program. This allows for a larger bracket of Americans to use the internet. No matter which socio-economic class you fall into and what speeds you are looking for, we wish you well in your search for a provider and hope the information above was helpful.
