What is the fastest internet speed for home use? ›

On the high end, residential internet speeds can reach up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) of download speed, or 1,000Mbps. Several providers—including AT&T, Google Fiber, Verizon, Frontier, and Xfinity—offer multigigabit plans with speeds ranging from 2Gbps to 10Gbps.

As of Q4 of 2023, with its median download speed of 188.96, T-Mobile is the fastest mobile network. Verizon is a distant second at 91.62. AT&T is third at 90.82. By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

For general web browsing and email with one or two internet users, 10–50 Mbps is a good speed. For light internet use with up to five simultaneous devices connected, up to 100 Mbps is a good download speed. For streaming and gaming and multiple devices, 100–500 Mbps is good.

According to the FCC, a good internet speed varies for households connecting multiple devices to the internet at once. Download speeds of at least 25 Mbps for two connected devices with moderate to heavy internet use should suffice, but at least 100 Mbps download speed would be better for three or more devices.

That said, Michigan internet plans are the 26th most affordable in the country with an average price per Mbps of $0.51 and internet costs averaging about $71.17 a month.

One of the easiest ways to enhance internet speed is to optimize router placement. Place the router in an open space and avoid putting it behind walls, furniture, or any objects that may interfere with the signal strength. Elevating the router can also improve signal propagation, maximizing coverage across the space.

Cat 7a is the best cable for high-speed Internet—and the most expensive. Similar to the Cat 6a and Cat 7 cables, the Cat 7a supports speeds up to 10,000 Mbps, but its max bandwidth is exponentially higher at 1,000 MHz.

Fiber is truly the fastest, most reliable, and most high-tech internet around. Unlike internet connections like cable and DSL, it doesn't rely on older or potentially outdated communications infrastructure. Instead, it carries data over light signals through its own spiffy network of fiber-optic cabling.

There's a new global internet speed record — and it's about six million times faster than Australia's average. A team at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) hit 402 terabits per second (tbps), breaking their previous record of 321 tbps, set in 2023.

Starlink has the potential to offer moderately faster speeds than Hughesnet or Viasat (not to mention other popular rural internet options) with home internet speeds ranging from 25 to 220Mbps. For comparison, Hughesnet and Viasat top out at around 100Mbps in most areas. Service also comes with truly unlimited data.
