Best Internet Providers in North Chicago, IL

Xfinity stands out as the top internet provider in North Chicago, Illinois. Offering a cable connection with up to 2 Gbps download speeds, it suits households with heavy internet use, like gamers and HD streamers. Despite these high speeds, Xfinity starts at $30 per month. Additionally, their extensive 99.20% coverage ensures nearly all residents can access their service, making it a leading choice for internet connectivity.

In second place, AT&T Internet offers IPBB and 5G connections with maximum download speeds of 100 Mbps, sufficient for browsing and streaming. However, this speed pales compared to Xfinity. AT&T’s plans begin at $60 per month, which is more expensive yet slower. Covering 94.80% of the city, most residents can still access AT&T, but the provider’s value is less competitive. Overall, while AT&T delivers solid service and coverage, Xfinity’s faster speeds and lower pricing provide a more advantageous option for North Chicago residents.
