What's the best internet provider in Kansas City?
Kansas City is known for its many nicknames, including the City of Fountains and Paris of the Plains. But it's also known for its fast, reliable internet. It easily makes the city a standout for anyone looking to move into the area -- particularly if you're thinking of working remotely or have a large family that relies on great internet for entertainment purposes. With that in mind, after thoroughly testing what's available, Google Fiber is CNET's pick for the best internet provider in Kansas City.
For the cheapest internet in Kansas City, we also recommend Google Fiber, as some areas in the city will allow you to qualify for the provider's $15-per-month 100Mbps plan. It's not the fastest, but you can't get anything cheaper. If your address does fall out of that area, however, there's always Xfinity's Connect plan for $20 per month.
