Best home internet deals: AT&T, Spectrum, Optimum and more

By and

for better or for worse, much of our modern world relies on the internet to access the very basic things in life, whether it’s your banking information or your entertainment content; having a good internet connection is important. Luckily, there are quite a lot of options out there these days, and some of them go beyond just providing you with internet, and can often include options for unlimited phone plans and TV channels. That’s probably great if you enjoy streaming movies, live sports, and TV shows since they tend to eat up a lot of data, so going for a bundled deal can certainly save you quite a bit of extra money in the process.

So whether you want to cut the cord, improve your online gaming experience, or just upgrade your sluggish internet service to a faster one, this up-to-date roundup of the best high-speed internet deals and bundles is the place to start. Thankfully, the ubiquity of high-speed internet means you can get the bandwidth you need at cheaper prices than ever before. As fiber-optic networks roll out across the country, gigabit internet is also more accessible. You should also check out these wireless router deals to save even more money on equipment rental fees.

It has a 15.6-inch screen with an FHD resolution, which is nice to see at this price point, and the screen bevels are actually relatively thin for a budget-oriented product. Of course, it does come with a lower-end Intel Celeron N4500 and only 4GB of RAM, which means Windows 11 is in the reduced S mode, but the lower spec does mean the price can stay really low too.
