Why choose Brightspeed?

Brightspeed has six fiber plans at affordable prices, less than half of what other providers charge for similar speeds. Brightspeed replaced CenturyLink and Quantum Fiber in certain service areas, and it doesn’t offer a cable or fiber TV service. However, this feature allows you to create your own “bundle” with virtually any streaming, cable or satellite TV service in your area.

With internet speeds of 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 8,000 Mbps, Brightspeed internet deals can fit any internet need, from basic browsing to completely connected households of all sizes.

Choose your best Brightspeed internet plan using these helpful guidelines:

Minimal to average internet use (email, some streaming, under 10 devices): Choose Brightspeed 200 or 500 Mbps
Larger households, frequent gaming or 10+ devices: Try Brightspeed 1 Gig or 2 Gig
Want the quickest connection available for a virtually unlimited number of devices? Brightspeed 5 Gig or 8 Gig are your best options

Allconnect expert tip

Trying to decide between plans? Remember this easy equation:

Your internet activities + Number of connected devices in your home = The speed you need
