Enter an address in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Shreveport, Monroe or Alexandria area and we'll compare the providers that serve it — by what you'll actually pay over two years, not the promo price, and by what you get for it.
True monthly cost. We average each plan over 24 months, including the price jump when a promo ends, equipment rental and install fees. A $50 plan that becomes $80 after a year really costs $65 a month.
Performance (0–100). Download speed counts most, with diminishing returns: going from 100 to 500 Mbps matters far more than 1 Gig to 2 Gig. Upload speed, latency and connection type count too. Fiber is the most consistent, then cable, then 5G home internet and satellite. Data caps cost points.
Your speed. If you pick a speed, plans below it lose most of their credit, and plans far above it earn only a little extra. That way we recommend the best deal that meets your need, not the fastest plan available.
Value. Performance weighed against true monthly cost. A noticeably better connection can beat a slightly cheaper one. The best value at your address scores 100.
Where the data comes from. Addresses are matched with the U.S. Census geocoder. Coverage comes from the FCC National Broadband Map plus our own local knowledge, since new fiber builds can take months to appear in FCC data. Prices come from each provider's FCC “Broadband Facts” labels and plan pages. Always confirm with the provider before you switch.
