Frontier Fiber is the best internet service provider in Hartford. With plans ranging from 200 to 7,000Mbps starting at $30 to $110 per month with equipment and unlimited data included, the 100% fiber-optic provider offers the best value of any major ISP in the area. Around 40% of Hartford residences are serviceable for fiber-optic internet service, according to recent FCC data .
Serviceability is greatest to the south and in the northwest portion of the city, around the University of Hartford, although fiber service can be found in random pockets throughout the city, too. Frontier Fiber is the largest fiber provider in Hartford, while GoNetspeed also offers fiber service to a smaller portion of Hartford households. Xfinity has the cheapest internet plans in Hartford, with three plans priced lower than Frontier Fiber’s cheapest plan.
Depending on the plan, a contract may be required to get the Xfinity’s lowest pricing. But that doesn't include equipment rental, which will add $15 to your monthly bill should you opt to rent. Frontier Fiber offers the fastest internet plan in Hartford with symmetrical upload and download speeds up to 7,000Mbps starting at $110 per month.
Frontier’s next fastest plan, up to 5,000Mbps, is also faster than Xfinity’s speediest plan in Hartford, which tops out at 2,000Mbps. Frontier Fiber also has the advantage of symmetrical upload and download speeds with every plan, whereas Xfinity’s upload speeds are significantly slower than its downloads..
