What makes a good internet provider?

In some cities or rural areas, there is only one choice of internet service provider (I.S.P.). However, in Prescott we have several options. So, what makes the difference between internet companies?

Wireline vs Wireless

The first major consideration is whether the internet service you purchase is provided via a physical wire to your home, or if it’s some sort of wireless technology. Wireline technologies include cable, DSL, and fiber optic. Wireless internet can be delivered via cellular (5G or 4G), satellite (like Starlink), or fixed wireless.

If it’s available in your area, we strongly recommend choosing a wireline provider. In general, wireline providers are able to provide more reliable and faster internet service. Wireless solutions are often unreliable, slow, and disconnect during inclement weather. Wireline internet service does not suffer from these same problems.
