Worcester has broadband speeds faster than the Massachusetts state average. Here are our top picks for high-speed internet in the city.
What is the best internet provider in Worcester?
Out of the few broadband providers that serve Worcester, Spectrum is CNET’s top pick for most households. Spectrum’s network covers most of the area and it has plans that are competitively priced and have simple service details. Fiber and fixed wireless connectivity are also available at select Worcester addresses through Verizon Fios and T-Mobile Home Internet. Ultimately, the best provider for your home will depend on your location.
Although Xfinity beats its competitors with its low prices and fast speeds in Worcester, serviceability is scarce, with only 2% of addresses being covered by this cable provider — according to data from the Federal Communications Commission.
For affordability, you’ll be better off with either Spectrum or Verizon, both offering $50 base plans. Selco does offer 50 megabits per second for only $40 per month, but its availability isn’t much better than Xfinity’s. In Worcester, Xfinity’s 1.2 gigabit plan is the fastest service, but Selco, Spectrum and Verizon also offer 1 gigabit of speed, varying in cost.Best internet in Worcester in 2024Worcester internet providers compared
