How we make money and our commitment to unbiased, honest reviews
InternetPlanFinder.com is committed to providing honest, accurate, and unbiased internet provider reviews. While we receive compensation from some of the providers featured on our site, our editorial content and ratings are never influenced by these relationships. Our recommendations are always based on independent research and real-world testing.
InternetPlanFinder.com is a free resource for consumers. We don't charge you anything to use our tools, read our reviews, or compare providers. We make money through the following methods:
When you click provider links on our site and sign up for service, we may earn a commission from the provider or their affiliate network.
We display advertisements from third-party ad networks. These ads are clearly separated from our editorial content.
Occasionally we publish sponsored content from providers. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such.
Our primary revenue source is affiliate commissions. Here's how it works:
⚠️ Important: You never pay more by using our links. The prices you see through our site are the same (or sometimes better) than going directly to the provider's website. Our affiliate partnerships sometimes give us access to exclusive deals not available elsewhere.
Short answer: It doesn't affect our ratings or recommendations.
Our editorial team operates completely independently from our business and advertising teams. Here's what this means in practice:
We take our editorial independence very seriously. Here are the specific policies we follow:
Every provider is scored across five categories: Speed & Performance, Pricing & Value, Reliability, Features & Perks, and Customer Service. These scores are calculated using objective data from speed tests, pricing analysis, and customer surveys — not financial incentives.
We review and recommend providers regardless of whether they have a financial relationship with us. If a provider offers excellent service but doesn't pay us commissions, we'll still recommend them.
If a provider has poor service, slow speeds, or bad customer support, we say so — even if that provider pays us. Our readers trust us because we're honest, and we never compromise that trust for revenue.
We clearly identify:
Our site does not include every internet provider available in the United States. We focus on:
Some smaller, hyper-local, or new providers may not yet be included in our reviews. We're continuously expanding our coverage.
When we feature or highlight a specific provider (such as our "Editor's Choice" picks), the selection is based on:
While compensation may influence placement visibility, it never determines whether a provider earns our recommendation in the first place.
InternetPlanFinder.com complies with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding:
