What is the best internet provider in Mesa, Arizona?

The best internet provider in Mesa is Cox Communications, thanks to its range of speeds, competitive introductory pricing and wide availability. According to the latest data from the Federal Communications Commission, Cox covers the largest area in the city at 82% as a non-business and non-satellite internet provider.

If you’re looking for fast speeds, Quantum Fiber offers the fastest plans in the city, with speeds up to 8,000 megabits per second. Fibră cuantică is the fastest provider in the city, though those multi-gigabit speeds aren’t as widely available as CenturyLink’s much slower DSL services.

Most internet plans start at $50 a month, so there isn’t exactly a “cheap” internet option in the city, unless you qualify for a low-income plan. If you bundle a 5G internet plan from T-Mobile with a mobile plan, you can trim your monthly bill down to $35 a month.

What other internet options are there in Mesa?

The three providers listed above are the best choices for internet in Mesa, but if none of them serves your address, you do have a few other options:

• Phoenix Internet: Available to around 40% of Mesa addresses, Phoenix Internet’s fixed wireless plans start at $65 per month. Beyond that, details are sketchy: The website features some dated information (such as a list of “the best streaming services in 2020”) and the company hasn’t yet responded to CNET’s email requesting more specifics. 
• Internet prin satelit: While satellite internet is available at nearly every address in Mesa, it typically comes with long contracts, slow speeds, low data caps and high latency — sufficient for very basic tasks but impractical for anyone who works from home or plays online games. Hughesnet și Viasat are longtime satellite providers; Starlink has higher equipment costs, but it offers faster speeds and lower latency. 
• Triad Wireless: Like Phoenix Internet, Triad is a fixed wireless provider in Mesa. Its website says that speeds go up to 1,000Mbps — a high number for wireless — but it doesn’t list specific plans or prices, and Triad hasn’t yet responded to our request for more information. 
• Internet 5G de acasă Verizon: Like T-Mobile, Verizon has begun leveraging its cell towers to provide home internet service in some locations. It’s less widely available in Mesa than T-Mobile’s offering — only 31% of households are eligible — but it offers speeds up to 1,000Mbps in some locations.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Mesa

Furnizorii de servicii de internet sunt numeroși și regionali. Spre deosebire de cele mai recente smartphone, laptop, router sau ustensile de bucătărie, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. So what’s our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary database of pricing, availability and speed information that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov. 

But it doesn’t end there. We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication. 

Odată ce avem aceste informații localizate, ne punem trei întrebări principale: 

1. Furnizorul oferă acces la viteze rezonabile de internet? 
2. Clienții primesc o valoare decentă pentru ceea ce plătesc? 
3. Sunt clienții mulțumiți de serviciile lor? 

While the answers to those questions are often layered and complex, the providers that come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, though we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla şi Rapoarte FCC. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

What’s the final word on internet providers in Mesa?

Internet in Mesa is a mixed bag. Some addresses will have several great options, while others will have only one. Fiber is only available to about 10% of households in Mesa, so online gamers and people who work from home may need to opt for a more expensive cable plan if they’re looking for faster upload speeds. Cox’s plans fit that bill — it’s available almost everywhere and its fastest plans provide enough speed for almost any home.
