Most of it depends on what’s available in your area. T-Mobile is another close competitor to Verizon in Chandler, with prices starting at $35 when bundled with eligible phone plans.

Other available internet providers in Chandler

• AirFiber WISP: Fixed wireless ISP AirFiber includes most of Chandler in its Phoenix metro coverage area. There are multiple plan options, starting at $50 per month for speeds up to 25Mbps and going up to $140 per month for 1,000Mbps, although availability will vary and you’ll have to contact the ISP to check for offers. There are no data caps, hardware fees or contracts. Here’s how fixed wireless compares to other types of broadband.
• CenturyLink: CenturyLink DSL and Quantum Fiber come from parent company Lumen, but the fiber service is superior to the outdated DSL technology. CenturyLink’s DSL reaches much of Chandler with speeds up to 100Mbps. A modem lease costs $15 per month, or you can buy outright for $200 or provide your own equipment. There are no data caps. Slow DSL speeds will likely tip you toward Cox or 5G home internet.
• Phoenix Internet: Fixed wireless ISP Phoenix Internet reaches parts of Chandler with speeds of 50-1,000Mbps and prices from $75 to $140 per month. Router rental costs $10 monthly, or you can supply your own gear. There are no data caps. Services like this are aimed mainly at rural households or ones that don’t have faster and more affordable wired options.
• Satellite internet: Satellite internet from Starlink, Viasat or Hughesnet is often seen as a last resort for rural homes with no other options for getting online. Most Chandler residents will find that cable, fiber or fixed wireless offers faster speeds and more affordable pricing, but consider satellite if you’re in a tricky location or live in a more remote spot outside the Phoenix metro area.
• WeLink: Fixed wireless ISP WeLink covers some areas of the Phoenix metro area, including parts of Chandler. WeLink advertises unlimited data and fiber-level gigabit speeds, but it doesn’t share pricing online and asks potential customers to join a waitlist. It’s worth checking out if you’re looking for an alternative to Cox and if Quantum Fiber doesn’t service your home.

That includes the entry-level Cox, Quantum Fiber and Verizon 5G Home Internet plans. Be sure to budget the equipment rental or purchase cost if the gear isn’t included in the price.
