What is the best internet provider in Cincinnati?
Altafiber is CNET's pick for the best internet service provider in Cincinnati, Ohio. It strikes a solid balance between speed and price, which makes it a strong choice for most households in the city. It is also one of the most affordable options around, thanks to plans starting at just $40 per month for 400Mbps. Need more speed? Altafiber’s 2-gigabit plan offers great value for high-performance fiber if it's available at your address.
While Spectrum remains the other main provider in town, and some homes may qualify for T-Mobile, Verizon or AT&T Internet Air via 5G home internet, fiber from Altafiber generally offers faster, more reliable performance with no data caps. Availability can vary widely depending on your address, so it’s worth checking what’s actually offered at your home before deciding.
