What is the best internet provider in Arlington?
We recommend Xfinity as the best internet service provider for most Arlington households. In addition to providing service to most addresses in the city, this provider also offers the fastest plan in Arlington. For $120 per month, Xfinity customers can reach download speeds up to 2 gigabits per second, with no data caps or monthly equipment charges. Providers like Verizon Fios and T-Mobile are also solid picks for home internet, depending on availability.
Xfinity also offers one of the cheapest plans in Arlington, tied with Astound Broadband. While Astound does provide faster speeds with its base plan, availability is much more sparse. Xfinity Connect costs $25 per month for speeds up to 75 megabits per second.

Our take – We often say fiber is your best bet for home internet. So why didn’t Verizon Fios take the No. 1 spot? Although Verizon is available to about 95% of Arlington residents, that includes Verizon’s DSL, fixed wireless and fiber networks. Verizon Fios costs between $50 and $90 per month for speeds up to 1,000Mbps, with no data caps or contracts.
