Our take – AT&T Fiber’s fastest plan is its 5-gig tier at $245 per month, but you can get the same perks for $100 less with the 2Gbps option. Specifically, you get AT&T ActiveArmor (free internet security), a gift card which covers two months of service and access to over 30,000 of AT&T’s hotspots nationwide. Your cost per Mbps (7 cents) may not be as low as AT&T Fiber 5000 (5 cents), but it still carries a significant value for a lower monthly charge. Whichever plan you choose, all fiber plans come with unlimited data and require no contracts.

Multi-gig internet plans FAQs
What is multi-gig internet?
In most cases, especially if you already have fiber internet service, you won’t have to do anything beyond contacting your provider to upgrade to a multi-gig internet plan. There may be an installation fee (often waived if you order online), but usually, any additional equipment you need (a modem/router capable of multi-gig speeds) will be included.
To take advantage of Xfinity’s Gigabit Pro plan, you’ll need to reach out to Xfinity and schedule a site survey. Even if you’re a current Xfinity customer or know you’re in an Xfinity serviceable area, Comcast will still need to see if your home is within the minimum distance from a fiber node. If everything checks out, it may take several weeks before your household can get Gigabit Pro fully installed.
Generally speaking, the top multi-gig internet plans are relatively affordable with a fiber internet connection. Fiber typically provides the best performance, featuring symmetrical or near-equal download and upload speeds, and presents the cheapest options. For example, Optimum’s 2Gbps plan is currently offered at $90 a month in the first year, and Ziply Fiber’s 2Gbps plan, which includes unlimited data, checks in at $60 a month. Ziply Fiber’s 10Gbps plan, which isn’t cheap at $300 monthly, has a cost per Mbps of 3 cents, which is good. Ziply’s 5Gbps tier is just over 2 cents per Mbps, the best value we’ve seen. None of those plans require a contract.
Conversely, Xfinity’s Gigabit Pro is one of the more expensive multi-gig plans. It costs $300 per month, and you can only get it if you sign up for a two-year contract. The cost per Mbps, at 3 cents, is good, but there’s a $20-a-month rental charge for equipment. There’s also a hefty additional expenditure right out of the gate: Households face an activation fee of up to $500 and an additional installation fee of another $500. That’s $1,000 before you even get to the regular monthly charges.
Perhaps. Even if you go with the most expensive plan, the monthly cost per Mbps of multi-gigabit internet is quite competitive. Plus, these plans’ near-symmetrical upload and download speeds certainly give your household plenty of opportunities to utilize many connected devices now and in the future.
Most households don’t need that much speed. Dropping down to a provider’s gigabit plan, for example, still gives you plenty of bandwidth at just 5 to 10 cents per Mbps — often with modem/router fees included. It may not be as flashy as having 2-gig internet or the fastest residential plan currently available, but it’ll get you some splashy speeds at a more affordable price.
