Cost per Mbps is the single most objective way to compare internet plans across providers, states, and speed tiers. Rather than comparing raw monthly prices, this metric tells you how much value each dollar buys. The national average is about $0.27 per Mbps for 300 Mbps plans, but this varies from $0.15 (excellent fiber value) to $0.50+ (poor value satellite or DSL).
Enter your monthly bill and speed below to see how your plan stacks up. If you are paying more than $0.30/Mbps for cable or fiber, you are almost certainly overpaying and should negotiate or switch providers.
