How we compiled this
Published self-serve residential internet pricing was collected for each provider as of the accessed date from its 2026 plan tables; figures are flat per-account per-month introductory/standard rates in USD, with promotional periods and autopay conditions recorded in each plan's notes. These are consumer connectivity plans, so minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, and overagePerCall are null throughout. Where an official pricing page blocked automated access or geolocated/rendered behind JavaScript, the figure was sourced from a dedicated HighSpeedInternet.com 2026 provider pricing table that publishes the verbatim self-serve tiers.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
