How much is fiber internet?
Fiber internet costs about $40 to $50 a month for an entry plan and $70 to $90 for 1 Gig at three national fiber brands, as of October 28, 2026.[1][2][3] AT&T and Verizon prices assume AutoPay and paperless billing, and all three add taxes or fees.[1][2][3] In our FCC data, fiber is reported at a little over half of U.S. locations, so check your address first.[4]
| Provider | Entry plan | 1 Gig | What is on top |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT&T Fiber | 300 Mbps, $50.00 | $70.00 | Taxes and fees; prices after $10 AutoPay and paperless discount; gateway included[1] |
| Verizon Fios | 300 Mbps, $40.00 | $90.00 | $99 setup may apply; router included; no annual contract[2] |
| gFiber | 1 Gig is the entry tier | $70 | Taxes and a local access fee; router included[3] |
Prices as of October 28, 2026, from each provider's plan page; your address may show different tiers or offers.
Three questions to ask before you compare fiber with cable:
- What is the price after the first year? AT&T's cards show the discounted rate; Verizon describes a 3-year lock on its 300 Mbps base rate, and gFiber shows one flat price.[1][2][3]
- Is a bundle hiding the headline number? Verizon's "from $30" figure needs a Verizon mobile phone plan and Mobile + Home Discount enrollment; without one, Fios 300 Mbps is $40.00.[5][2]
- Are uploads symmetrical? AT&T Fiber lists equal upload and download speeds, which matters for video calls, backups and sending large files.[1]
Regional fiber builders set their own prices, so check who serves your street before deciding. Our research on fiber availability by state shows where fiber is common and where it is rare.
