Our take – Speeds, pricing and special offers from Astound are a bit all over the place from one market to the next, but unlimited data is one perk available in all service areas.

Our take – AT&T is our pick for the best fiber internet provider overall thanks to its high availability, competitive pricing, fast speeds and unlimited data. All AT&T Fiber plans come with no data cap, which means you can stream, game and browse social media without fear of incurring overage fees.

Our take – Lumen Technologies brands CenturyLink and Quantum Fiber are vastly different internet services. CenturyLink offers DSL internet service with max speeds of 100Mbps at $50 monthly while Quantum Fiber offers a fiber-optic internet starting at $50 a month for 500Mbps download and upload speeds. One attribute the two services have in common, however, is unlimited data. Regardless of which provider is available in your area, your internet plan will come without a data cap to fret over.

Our take – Unlike AT&T, Frontier offers unlimited data with both its DSL and fiber-optic internet services. Equipment costs are also included in the monthly cost and no contracts are required, making Frontier one of the more straightforward providers when it comes to pricing.

Our take – Kinetic is another service that comes with unlimited data regardless of whether it’s DSL or fiber optic. Speeds and pricing can and do vary by location with Kinetic, more than just about any major provider it seems, but unlimited data is one standard customers across all markets can enjoy.

Our take – All Spectrum internet plans come with fast speeds, no contracts and, you guessed it, unlimited data. That, plus a modest equipment fee of just $7 per month if you choose to rent a router puts Spectrum right up there with Frontier when it comes to straightforward pricing.

Our take – Restricting data caps were a common pain point with satellite internet, but Starlink is remedying many of satellite internet’s drawbacks, including limited data. Unlimited data is included with each Starlink plan, but select tiers include an allotment of priority data that grants “network precedence over standard and mobile data, meaning users will experience faster and more consistent download and upload speeds.” Once the priority data pool is exhausted, users fall to the standard, yet still unlimited, data tier.

Our take – In my review of Starry Internet, I was impressed by the provider’s ability to offer affordable, high-speed service over a fixed wireless network. The provider’s flagship plan offers up to 200Mbps starting at $50 per month, but gig service is available in select areas starting at $80 per month.

Our take – 5G may be the future of home internet, at least in underserved areas where cable and fiber internet is either unavailable or too expensive. Enter T-Mobile. The provider is available to more than 30 million homes, a third of which are in rural or suburban areas.

Our take – Verizon Fios ranks right up there with AT&T Fiber when it comes to speeds, pricing and customer satisfaction. Another thing going for the provider: unlimited data. Each Verizon Fios plan — 300Mbps starting at $50 per month, 500Mbps starting at $70 per month and gig service starting at $90 per month — comes with unlimited data.

Our take – Verizon’s 5G home internet service offers two plans: $50 per month for speeds ranging from 50 to 300Mbps or $70 for anywhere between 85 and 1,000Mbps. The actual speeds you can get will depend on your location, but either way, unlimited data is included with both plans.

Our take – Ziply Fiber offers six fiber plans including an impressive 50Gbps tier. DSL service is also available in select areas starting at $40 per month, but speeds vary based on location. Customers can enjoy unlimited data with either service.
Rise Broadband: Rise Broadband is a fixed wireless provider popular in many rural areas due to its ability to deliver internet service without the need for a dedicated phone, cable or fiber wire. It’s also a popular choice for unlimited internet but only if you opt for (and possibly pay a little extra for) an unlimited plan.
Sparklight: Sparklight plans boast competitive pricing without contracts, but all Sparklight plans have a soft data cap of 5TB. That’s a ton of data (the average household uses significantly less than 1TB each month). If you do manage to go over, Sparklight may reduce your speeds for the remainder of the billing cycle but will not charge any overage fees.
Xfinity: Many of Xfinity’s plans have data caps, and this cable provider is the largest internet provider not to include unlimited data with all its plans. But that’s not to say unlimited data isn’t available with some Xfinity plans and service areas. Service terms and prices can vary widely by location with Xfinity, so select plans in some markets may very well come with unlimited data.
Pros and cons of internet plans with no data caps
For the most part, the reasons to choose an unlimited internet provider or plan far outweigh the reasons not to, but there may be some instances where accepting a data cap makes sense.
Pros
No overage fees or other penalties for exceeding your limit
No having to monitor your data usage throughout the month
Unlimited data is ideal for multiple devices or those who use large amounts of data for working from home or learning online
Cons
Monthly pricing may be higher
It may not be worth the upgrade
Some providers charge a premium for unlimited data, which could add $10 or more to your monthly bill. Others may only offer unlimited data with select service types or plans and, while the unlimited data may be enticing, it’s possible that upgrading to a pricier plan could have you paying for more than you need.
Those instances are fairly uncommon, which means internet plans with no data cap are typically the better value. When considering internet providers, I’d always check out the ones with unlimited data first.
Internet providers with no data caps FAQs
What uses the most internet data?
Why do internet providers have data caps?
Is 1TB a lot of data?
There are a number of ways to reduce your internet data use, including streaming in standard definition as opposed to HD, downloading music or TV shows instead of streaming them repeatedly and disconnecting unused devices from your Wi-Fi network.
