About InternetProviders.ai
InternetProviders.ai is your comprehensive resource for finding and comparing internet service providers across the United States. We help consumers make informed decisions about their home internet service by combining official FCC broadband data with transparent editorial analysis.
Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves access to reliable, affordable internet. Our mission is to simplify the process of finding and comparing internet providers by providing accurate, up-to-date information about pricing, speeds, and availability.
The broadband market is complex. There are more than 2,800 internet service providers in the United States, each with different coverage footprints, speed tiers, and pricing structures. Many consumers face confusing promotional pricing, hidden fees, and vague availability claims. InternetProviders.ai cuts through this complexity by presenting verified data in a clear, actionable format — so you can compare real options for your exact address and make the best choice for your household.
Our History
InternetProviders.ai was founded in 2024 by George Olfson and Pablo Mendoza with a shared conviction that broadband data should be accessible, transparent, and free of provider influence. What started as a small project to map internet availability by ZIP code has grown into a platform covering over 30,000 ZIP codes, 10,000 cities, and 35+ national and regional providers. Today, the site features address-level availability checking, head-to-head provider comparisons, technology-specific guides, and data-driven broadband reports — all built on the FCC's official Broadband Data Collection.

Our Data
We source our coverage data from the FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC), which provides the most comprehensive and accurate information about internet service availability across the United States. Our database contains over 13.1 million coverage records spanning all 50 states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories.
We combine FCC data with publicly available pricing information collected directly from provider websites. Our lookups currently use the June 2025 filing, and filings can lag new construction, so confirm the plan and price with the provider before you order.
How We Rate Providers
InternetProviders.ai ratings are an independent editorial score from 1 to 5 — the simple average of five equally-weighted factors (price & value, max speed, value for money, data caps and customer support) derived from the plan, price, data-cap and support details we list for each provider.
- Price & value
- Max speed
- Value for money
- Data caps
- Customer support

Editorial Standards
InternetProviders.ai maintains editorial independence. Affiliate relationships never change our ratings; on ZIP pages they can affect which providers appear in the first 12 cards. We follow these principles:
- No paid ratings: Providers cannot pay us for a higher rating or a favorable review
- Transparent affiliate disclosure: We clearly label affiliate links and explain how we earn revenue
- Data-driven recommendations: All ratings are based on measurable criteria, not subjective opinions
- Correction policy: We investigate reader-reported errors promptly and publish corrections once verified, documenting significant fixes in our public corrections log
