ISP Providers

I did research on three Internet service providers (ISP) that serve my hometown of Cartersville, GA. Below are the three companies, the communication channels they use, the transmission speeds they advertise, and the price for their plans:

Company             Communication Channel            Transmission Speeds            Price
AT&T                  Fiber optic cable                          100 Mbps                               $40/month
AT&T                  Fiber optic cable                          1000 Mbps                             $80/month
Xfinity                 Coaxial cable                               150 Mbps                               $54.99/month
Viasat                   Satellite                                        25 Mbps                                $50.00/month

AT&T requires bundling Internet with other services to get the quoted prices.

Xfinity's $54.99 price is for internet service only. The company offers a cheaper price if you bundle Internet with other Xfinity services.

The Viasat price is for Internet service only.
