What is the best internet provider in Honolulu?
Hawaiian Telcom is CNET's pick for the best internet service provider in Honolulu. It offers affordable pricing, nearly symmetrical upload and download speeds and price-lock guarantees of up to three years on select plans. However, with its cheapest plan, prices increase by $15 per month after the one-year promo period.
If speed is your priority, Hawaiian Telcom also offers the fastest internet in Honolulu, with plans up to 3,000Mbps. Spectrum has a 1-gig plan but it includes steeper price hikes. Spectrum offers the cheapest plan at $30 per month for 100Mbps. But if you want to avoid price hikes and hidden fees, T-Mobile Home Internet is a more customer-friendly option. While its speeds aren’t as high, it holds the highest customer satisfaction rating among non-fiber providers.
