What is the best internet provider in Duluth?
Spectrum is the best internet service provider in Duluth, Minnesota. The area’s largest cable internet provider offers fast speeds and unlimited data with no contract requirements. All plans include a free modem, though renting a Wi-Fi router will add $7 to your monthly bill.
Other top internet providers in Duluth include T-Mobile Home Internet, Mediacom, and Lumen Technologies brands CenturyLink and Quantum Fiber. CenturyLink has the best broadband coverage in the area, while Mediacom offers the cheapest internet in Duluth, with service starting at $35 per month for download speeds up to 100 megabits per second.
Mediacom and Spectrum offer the fastest download speeds in Duluth, up to 1,000Mbps, starting at $70 and $80 per month, respectively. Quantum Fiber and Verizon 5G Home Internet can deliver similar speeds, but the availability of both providers is highly limited in Duluth.
Aside from T-Mobile Home Internet and possibly Verizon 5G Home Internet, other potential fixed wireless internet options in Duluth include AirFiber and Nextera. Though the providers offer service throughout much of Duluth, speeds are too low and pricing too high to recommend.
CNET considers speeds, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service in Duluth across several categories. Our evaluation includes referencing a proprietary database built over years of reviewing internet services. We validate that against provider information by spot-checking local addresses for service availability. We also do a close read of providers’ terms and conditions and, when needed, will call ISPs to verify the details.
Despite our efforts to find the most recent and accurate information, our process has some limitations you should know about. Pricing and speed data are variable: certain addresses may qualify for different service tiers, and monthly costs may vary, even within a city. The best way to identify your particular options is to plug your address into a provider’s website.
Also, the prices, speed and other information listed above and in the provider cards below may differ from what we found in our research. The cards display the full range of a provider’s pricing and speed across the US, according to our database of plan information provided directly by ISPs, while the text is specific to what’s available in Duluth. The prices referenced within this article’s text come from our research and include applicable discounts for setting up automatic payments each month — a standard industry offering. Other discounts and promotions might also be available for things like signing a term contract or bundling with multiple services.
