Xfinity Internet gives Michiganders six internet plans to choose from, and you can expect a dependable connection and solid speeds no matter which plan you pick. You’ll see price hikes on your plan after the promotional period ends (usually 12 months), but you can still save money with great bundle deals on internet, TV, and Xfinity Mobile, the provider’s mobile carrier.
One small downside to Xfinity is it has a 1.2TB monthly data cap, so you can get charged a fee if you pass that cap before your next billing cycle. But that’s a significant amount of data, and it’s more than enough for most internet users.
Best Xfinity internet plan for most people: Fast, 400Mbps for $55.00/mo.
Xfinity has fair prices for the speeds it offers, and you’re getting an especially sweet deal when you pay just $55 per month for 400Mbps download speeds. That’s enough bandwidth for the whole family (or all your roommates) to stream Grand Rapids Griffins games in 4K, download large files, and post to social media—all at the same time on multiple devices.
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is an excellent budget pick because price hikes are nonexistent, you’re not on the hook for an annual contract, and you don’t have to worry about data caps. This internet service is $50 a month, making it a bargain for cord cutters and college kids.
You get download speeds between 72 and 245Mbps on a T-Mobile 5G connection. Since this service runs over a wireless cellular network, speeds tend to be a bit more inconsistent than what you would get from a cable or fiber connection. But T-Mobile is still fast enough for smaller households—and you’re likely to get a great connection if you get reliable cell service in your area.
Best T-Mobile Home Internet plan for most people: $50 home internet, 72–245Mbps for $50.00/mo.
T-Mobile offers one internet plan, and it’s a solid value for just $50 per month.
A fiber-optic internet connection is faster and more reliable than cable, 5G, or DSL internet. If AT&T Fiber is available in your neighborhood, you can’t go wrong in getting it. You can enjoy fast speeds while you’re streaming, gaming, or working from home without worrying about going over your data cap, paying extra fees, or signing an annual contract. And you can share your Wi-Fi with a large number of other users with minimal concerns about buffering or slowdowns.
If you can’t fathom experiencing lag during a Detroit Lions game, AT&T Fiber is the way to go.
Best AT&T internet plan for most people: AT&T Internet 300, 300Mbps for $55.00/mo.
AT&T Internet’s 300Mbps plan has enough speed for marathon streaming, casual gaming, and making video calls. It’s not gigabit, sure, but most people don’t need gigabit speeds anyway.
