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 and transparent. Provider ratings come from our published five-factor formula. Affiliate relationships never change our ratings; on ZIP pages they can affect which providers appear in the first 12 cards.
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.
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. Providers cannot pay us for a higher rating or a favorable review. Affiliate relationships never change our ratings; on ZIP pages they can affect which providers appear in the first 12 cards.
Our broadband coverage data and analysis are available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. 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.
