Many internet providers also offer exceptionally fast speeds, low introductory pricing and favorable service terms like free equipment and unlimited data. Some ISPs, such as Verizon Fios, AT&T Fiber and Astound, may throw in added perks such as free streaming services or gift cards.

Such deals frequently change, but you’ll find a recent roundup of the best internet deals from leading ISPs below. Keep in mind that all providers, pricing and promotions aren’t available in all areas and are subject to change at any time.

Best internet deals for December 2023

Verizon

Price range $50 – $120 per monthSpeed range 300 – 2,000MbpsConnection FiberKey Info Unlimited data, no contracts, free equipment with gig service

You’re going to sign up for internet service anyway, so why not get something extra for it? Verizon’s promos frequently change (details on the latest offer below), so if you don’t love this month’s offerings, check back to see what next month presents. 

All internet plans currently come with a price guarantee for five years. That’s quite a deal, as many providers hike their rates after just 12 months. Unlimited data and your equipment rental are also included at no extra cost.

Verizon Fios special offers 

You’ll get the best bonus when signing up for Verizon Fios 1 Gig: A $200 Amazon gift card or an Amazon Echo Show 10, plus a $100 gift card, a free Disney Plus subscription for six months and 2TB of storage. Verizon Fios 500Mbps and 300Mbps plans come with a $100 or $50 Amazon gift card, respectively, plus an additional $50 gift card.

Customers with eligible 5G mobile plans can also get $25 off each month’s bill.

Xfinity

Price range $20 – $120 per monthSpeed range 75 – 2,000MbpsConnection CableKey Info Data caps on some plans, lots of plan options, solid customer satisfaction numbers

It wasn’t long ago that bundling internet and TV services with the same provider came with some serious savings. Now, you’d be lucky to get any discount for bundling internet and TV. Unless you live in an area served by Xfinity, that is.

Xfinity offers a discount for each bundled service. With internet, TV, home phone, mobile data and home security plans available in some areas, that could add up to $50 or more in monthly savings. 

Xfinity Internet special offers

Depending on your location and the plan you choose, Xfinity may include your equipment rental and unlimited data at no extra cost.

Cox

Price range $50 per monthSpeed range 100MbpsConnection CableKey Info 1.25TB monthly data allowance, no contracts, no equipment fee

For those who prefer internet service on their terms with no hassles or hidden fees, there’s Cox StraightUp Internet. Starting at $50 per month, the service comes with download speeds up to 100Mbps, free equipment, free installation and a three-year price guarantee. Additionally, no contract or credit check is required.

For a prepaid plan, Cox StraightUp Internet is a fairly good deal, but the relatively slow speeds keep it from being a great deal. Speeds of 100Mbps for $50 per month equate to a cost per Mbps of 50 cents, which is high compared to most internet plans. On the other hand, the convenience of a prepaid service, along with no data cap, free equipment and a three-year price guarantee goes a long way to make up for the high cost per Mbps.
