AT&T and Spectrum are CNET's top picks when it comes to the best internet providers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. AT&T Fiber is our top pick, offering faster download and upload speeds over a fiber connection, with plans ranging from $55 to $245 a month. It delivers all that at a price comparable to Spectrum -- our second choice for Milwaukee residents.
If you're a heavy internet user, whether it's for working from home, just browsing or keeping your kids entertained -- Milwaukee has several solid options. The latest Ookla data says that the city has a median download speed of 303Mbps, which is solid. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
You'll also want your ISP to provide fast and reliable speeds at an affordable price, and offer good customer support. And coverage also factors into the decision. Although AT&T and Spectrum are the best options for many residents, other ISPs such as T-Mobile and Verizon may be a better fit depending on your address, with rates starting at $50 per month.
