Best Internet Providers in Tampa, FL

The best internet providers in Tampa are Spectrum, Frontier, and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. We’re giving Spectrum the edge because it offers speeds up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary). It also offers reasonably-priced plans starting at $49.99 per month for the first 12 months with Auto Pay.

Frontier is the next-best option for internet service in Tampa. With advertised speeds reaching up to 5 Gbps, its fiber internet plan options are affordable and quick. If you’re keen on fiber internet service, Frontier may be best for your household.

If you’re not interested in either of those major providers, or you live in an area where they’re unavailable, consider fast-growing T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. Its wireless home internet plan offers download speeds between 33 and 245 Mbps.

Fastest Internet Providers in Tampa, FL

The fastest internet providers in Tampa are Frontier and Spectrum. Frontier is the fastest internet provider in Tampa with astoundingly fast speeds reaching up to 5 Gbps. Frontier’s fiber network provides symmetrical speeds, meaning you will get equal upload and download speeds, which is best for high-intensity online activities.

Spectrum boasts speeds up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary) on its high-speed cable network. Cable is one of the better types of internet infrastructure. It lacks some of the upside of fiber-optic internet, but it’s considerably better than older technology, such as DSL or satellite.

The small percentage of Tampa that these providers don’t cover mostly comprises Tampa International Airport and the University of South Florida. In residential areas, you can expect to have access to all three providers.
