If you live in the 36% of Miami where Google Fiber Webpass is available, you can enjoy a gig of Google Fiber speed through wireless technology.
Google Fiber Webpass has just one plan, but it’s a great deal: 1,000Mbps for $70 a month. That’s a flat price with no equipment rental or data overage fees. And with unlimited data combined with such speed, you can easily download all 232 episodes of CSI: Miami, possibly in minutes.
Installers tie Google Fiber Webpass to specific buildings, so if you ever switch apartments, you may be unable to keep your service.
Best Google Fiber Webpass internet plan for most people: Google Fiber Webpass; 1,000Mbps for $70.00/mo.
Since there’s only one Google Fiber Webpass plan, all customers get gigabit speeds. You can’t reach the maximum speed of the entire Google Fiber service (8 gigs), but as you can do almost anything with 1,000Mbps, that shouldn’t be a problem. The more likely issue is wanting to downsize your internet speed to save money, which isn’t an option.
Aside from the fact that AT&T Fiber is just a great service all-around—with fast speeds and affordable prices—it’s also the perfect choice to bundle your phone and internet costs. AT&T cell phone customers get $20 off AT&T Fiber service every month.
AT&T Fiber also offers advanced parental controls through its Smart Home Manager app. You can see what devices your kids use and when they use them, and you can even set daily internet access limits. So if you forbade little Stevie from watching three hours of that Everglades TikTok guy in the middle of the night, with AT&T, you can easily enforce that rule.
Best AT&T Fiber internet plan for most people: 500Mbps speed; 500Mbps for $65.00/mo.
A speed of 400 to 500Mbps is the ideal range for a household of several people to tackle daily activities. That includes watching Netflix, playing Tears of the Kingdom, and making video calls over Zoom. AT&T's 500Mbps speed plan should be enough unless you're a video editor or in some other media-dense occupation, in which case an upgrade to gigabit speeds would be in order.
Xfinity cable internet is available in 99% of Miami, so whether you're in a high-rise or a beach bungalow, you're all but guaranteed Xfinity access. Xfinity also offers various bundles with mobile and home phone service, cable TV, and Xfinity home security. While some Xfinity services aren't the best in the business, you can get a pretty sweet discount if you sign up for a bunch of them at once.
You can also get a three-year price guarantee with Xfinity if you commit to a 36-month contract. That’s a pretty long contract, though, so only sign up if you know you’re not moving any time soon. Without the price lock, you may see an increase during your service period. On the other hand, if you don't have a contract and the price goes up, you can simply cancel your service without paying a fee and find another provider.
Best Xfinity Internet plan for most people: Fast; 400Mbps for $60.00/mo.
Xfinity may not have the crazy fast plans of fiber providers, but its Fast 400Mbps plan takes care of your internet needs and then some. Whether you work or play online, this is plenty of speed to connect you to websites, get you streaming, and let you download and upload huge files.
