Sources & Methodology

Data for internet providers, plans, and coverage across North Carolina is compiled from FCC Broadband Data Collection filings, provider-published broadband labels, and U.S. Census Bureau demographic data. Population and median household income figures are from the American Community Survey. Pricing, speeds, and availability are verified against provider broadband nutrition labels and may vary by location. For a detailed explanation of our data collection and scoring process, see our methodology page.

How We Score Providers

Our analysts rate every provider on a composite 1–5 scale using five weighted criteria, applied consistently across all reviews and comparisons:

  • Price (30%) — advertised plan pricing verified monthly against each provider's broadband nutrition labels.
  • Speed (25%) — advertised tiers cross-checked with third-party real-world speed test data.
  • Reliability (20%) — technology type, uptime signals, and FCC complaint data.
  • Coverage (15%) — FCC Broadband Data Collection availability records.
  • Customer Service (10%) — published satisfaction indices and verified support channels.
