WINNERS: THE FASTEST ISPS IN THE UNITED STATES
Major ISP: This is the eighth time in nine years that Fios, the fiber-to-the-home service from Verizon, has taken the top spot in our Fastest ISP's results. While the competition between the big-name, multi-state broadband operators is fiercer than ever, Fios continues to be the fastest nationwide internet provider. It’s not only the speediest, it remains beloved by our readers— something you can’t say about too many ISPs!—as it has consistently earned our Readers’ Choice award for a decade and a half.
All ISPs: Never heard of CFU? That’s probably because you don’t live in Cedar Falls, Iowa, a city of around 39,000 people and home of the University of Northern Iowa (Go Panthers!). Short for Cedar Falls Utilities, CFU is the municipality-owned gas, power, water, and cable TV service—and it happens to provide incredible gigabit-plus internet service to the community. We had enough tests from the area this year to prove it. If you’re looking to relocate to work from home and want the best internet you may ever experience, consider becoming an Iowan.
HOW WE RATE ISP SPEEDS
Most people don’t care about how this stuff works and simply want to see the results, but we think it’s important to understand what you’re reading.
