It could be. May to October — moving season — is typically the prime window to find great sales and incentives on internet service. However, due to increased competition, some providers are hopping on the holidays to lure in new customers.

A good way to determine decent value is to look at the cost per megabit per second. For example, you might jump at a 100Mbps plan for $20 per month and skip a 500Mbps plan for $40. After all, you’re playing $20 less monthly with the 100Mbps option.

However, the cost per Mbps is 20 cents for the 100 plan and just 8 cents for the 500 plan. If you have several users in your household and multiple smart devices throughout the home, you’ll notice the performance difference in having the 500Mbps plan versus settling for the 100Mbps option.

Finally, don’t forget the value of promotional perks. If a plan offers you free HBO Max, that’s a savings of $15 a month or $180 a year if you already subscribe to the service. As more of us lean on streaming platforms for our entertainment, that’s an excellent value.

Stay away from plans and services that require you to enter into a term agreement. When you do, it often means you will pay a stiff penalty if you decide to end service before the end of the contract. Thankfully, these long-term contracts are no longer the norm. But if a holiday deal requires signing a long-term agreement, ensure you’ve explored all available options before signing up.
