What is the best internet provider in Springfield?
With fast, symmetrical speeds and straightforward pricing that includes equipment rental, unlimited data and no set price increases, AT&T Fiber offers the best value of any Springfield internet provider. The 100% fiber-optic provider boasts the fastest internet speeds in Springfield, up to 5,000 megabits per second, plus a variety of other plans ranging from 300 to 2,000Mbps.
Xfinity has a small, to the point of negligible, fiber presence in Springfield as well, but the provider primarily uses a cable internet network. As such, max speeds are slower (especially regarding upload speeds), though Xfinity still offers download speeds up to 1,200Mbps throughout much of the area. Xfinity also has the cheapest internet plan in Springfield, starting at $20 monthly for download speeds up to 75Mbps.
For broadband alternatives to AT&T and Xfinity, look to fixed wireless service from T-Mobile Home Internet, Rise Broadband or Verizon 5G Home Internet. T-Mobile Home Internet is arguably the best option as it offers faster speeds than Rise Broadband and has far better coverage in Springfield than Verizon 5G Home Internet.
Our methodology
300 – 5,000 Mbps
$55 – $250 per month
Our take – While not the cheapest, AT&T Fiber delivers plenty of value. Service includes free equipment rental, unlimited data, no contracts and no set price increases — benefits that aren’t all available from Xfinity.
Fiber
75 – 2,000 Mbps
$20 – $120 per month
Our take – Xfinity is a top choice for internet in parts of Springfield where AT&T Fiber is unavailable, or for those looking for a low-cost internet connection. Service starts at $20 per month (less than half the price of AT&T Fiber’s cheapest plan) for download speeds up to 75Mbps. Renting equipment may add $15 to your bill, but faster Xfinity plans may include equipment rental at no extra cost.
