Fiber Internet Shop publishes consumer guides to help readers compare internet options. This page explains how those guides are researched — and what they are not.
What our guides are
Editorial explainers and comparison frameworks. They summarize publicly available information from providers, master-distributor partners, and government sources so you can ask better questions before you enroll.
What our guides are not
- Not a lab ranking or “best ISP” scoreboard
- Not a proprietary ping/latency dataset
- Not an official publication of any internet service provider
Primary sources we use
- FCC Measuring Broadband America — U.S. broadband performance measurement program
- FCC National Broadband Map — availability and technology coverage context
- U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey — household broadband context
- Ookla Speedtest methodology materials — consumer latency/throughput measurement concepts referenced in gaming guides
- Current published plan pages and terms from participating providers (AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity, Frontier, Optimum, Kinetic by Windstream), verified on a rolling basis
Pricing and availability
Plan prices, promos, equipment fees, and serviceability change by address. Figures on this site are estimates for comparison and must be confirmed with the provider (or with our enrollment specialists) for your service address. We are an independent sales agent operated by Transtech Marketing Network LLC — not the provider.
