- Check out 5G Home Internet
It’s only available in a select list of major cities, but if you’re on cable Internet now, you might be able to increase your bandwidth and lower your costs. This service runs wirelessly from your closest 5G cell tower. It’s almost like using a 5G phone as a hotspot, but with unlimited data and insane speed.

In 2022, my cable internet cost $80/month. With auto-pay signup, Verizon Home Internet is costing me $50/month. If you already use Verizon for your cell phone service, it’s even less.
T-Mobile offers a similar 5G Internet service. I haven’t tried it, but reviews have been good.
You might think wireless speeds would be slower than cable, but this is 5G wireless. On cable internet, I was getting about 90Mbps download speeds. On Verizon’s Home Internet, I’m getting 240Mbps in my testing. Amazing! Read my full review of Verizon 5G Home Internet.
- Check Out Fiber
If you’re on cable Internet now, fiber might be a significantly cheaper alternative, with higher speeds. Your monthly bill could go from $80 to around $50 for fiber. Companies like Verizon (FIOS) and Frontier offer it in some areas. Check thier websites to see if they offer it in your neighborhood.
