Internet Providers in Phoenix, Arizona

Your best option for internet in Phoenix is Quantum Fiber — if you can get it. The only bad thing about Quantum is the fact that it serves only about 15% of residential properties in Phoenix. Everything else is good, from its top speeds (up to 8 Gbps in Phoenix) to its prices, which start at $50 per month. For most households, even one of Quantum Fiber’s “slower” plans might do: Quantum’s slowest plan can reach speeds up to 500 Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for most users.

If you don’t have access to Quantum Fiber in your area of Phoenix, don’t lose hope. Your second-best option is still pretty solid, if not quite as popular. Cox, the city’s cable giant, offers internet-only plans that start at $50 per month (they run as high as $150 per month for the priciest plans). Cox’s bundles that start at $111 per month. Either way, you’ll get speedy internet. Cox’s service can reach up to 2 Gbps on its fastest plans.

Whenever you shop for internet, keep an eye out for discounts and deals. Right now, Cox is offering $14.99 off per month for 24 months to customers who bundle their internet with Cox Mobile. Cox also offers Panoramic Wifi equipment for free for 24 months with any Cox Internet plan. If you need security software, Cox Security Suite Plus powered by McAfee is free with any plan. That said, these deals change often, so check back each month for the best deals in your area.

Though we don’t recommend it as highly as fiber internet or cable internet, it’s worth noting that DSL internet is also an option here in Phoenix. Phoenix’s local DSL provider is CenturyLink, which calls its DSL offerings “Simply Unlimited Internet” and offers prices that start at $55 per month and speeds that top out at up to 100 Mbps on the internet company’s top-tier plans. One perk of CenturyLink is that it doesn’t require any kind of long-term contract.

Finally, 5G Home Internet now provides a viable wireless alternative if wired internet services in your location are either unavailable or beyond your budget. Utilizing modern 5G basebands, T-Mobile offers speeds up to 415 Mbps, assuming you’ve got a cell tower nearby. It’s a solid option to consider, and can even compete with some wired connections in terms of reliability and speed.
