NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2023 / PCMag.com, a reputable name in technology, has recently published its highly anticipated annual report, showcasing the Best Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the US.

The report offers consumers the most comprehensive look at broadband internet service across the United States to date.

For close to 20 years the report focused on internet speed test data to rank the Fastest ISPs. This year the ranking methodology was expanded to include data about speed, price, availability, and customer satisfaction. This information objectively pinpoints the best ISPs in the US and empowers internet subscribers with an unparalleled resource for making informed purchasing decisions that correspond with their location, budget, and specific needs.

With this more holistic ranking system, some new winners emerged in 2023. SpaceX's Starlink, for example, earned the highest cumulative score this year and edged out big-name internet providers like Verizon Fios and Spectrum, largely thanks to the fact that Starlink's satellite internet has an enormous coverage area and high customer satisfaction ratings.
