About InternetProviders.ai

InternetProviders.ai is the leading independent broadband comparison platform in the United States. We help consumers find, compare, and choose internet service providers by combining official FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC) records with transparent editorial analysis and verified pricing information.

Founded in 2024, the platform was built on a simple principle: broadband data should be accessible, transparent, and free of provider influence. Every ranking, review, and recommendation on our site is grounded in verifiable data — never influenced by advertising relationships or provider sponsorships.

Our coverage spans all 50 states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories. We provide address-level availability checking, head-to-head provider comparisons, technology-specific guides, state-by-state broadband reports, and free consumer tools including a speed test and provider quiz. All of our content and tools are free to use.

Data & Methodology

All coverage data on InternetProviders.ai is sourced from the FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC), the most comprehensive broadband availability dataset in the United States. Our database contains over 13.1 million address-level availability records spanning all 50 states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories. We supplement FCC data with publicly available pricing information collected directly from provider websites, verified monthly.

We rate internet providers on a composite 1–5 scale using five weighted criteria: Price (30%), Speed (25%), Reliability (20%), Coverage (15%), and Customer Service (10%). All ratings are data-driven and editorially independent. No provider pays for higher placement or more favorable reviews.

Journalists, researchers, policymakers, and developers are free to use, share, and adapt our data for any purpose — including commercial use — as long as appropriate attribution is provided.
