A good internet connection is a much-needed part of daily life for work and personal reasons. Black Friday is the perfect time to shop for deals on internet services. Top brands come up with various offers, from BOGO on connections to bundle deals. While Black Friday 2023 offers are not yet live for most brands, it is possible to get an idea of the kind of deals to expect by looking at last year’s offers.

Benefits of 5g internet
Customers can get valuable discounts from their area’s internet service providers (ISPs) during the Black Friday sale. 5G internet is all the hype now, and rightly so, with its ability to better mobile connections and make the internet speedier. These 5G networks use a different frequency than the previous generation ones, allowing them to cut through the lag and transfer data faster. With 5G internet, the customers need a 5G receiver at the inside or outside the house to be able to pick up a signal. Not all internet providers use this service, so shoppers can look for offers from limited brands like Starry Internet, T-Mobile Home Internet, or even Verizon.

1. Starry
Starry Internet has various internet plans like the 30mbps plan costs $15 a month, 50 Mbps costs $30 a month, 100 Mbps (but only 50mbps upload) costs $30, 200mbps costs $50, and 500mbps download costs $65 a month. One may expect Black Friday deals on these plans.
2. T-Mobile
T-Mobile home internet has max speeds from 72 to 245 Mbps for downloads with 15-31 Mbps for uploads, and it costs $50 a month. However, if a customer is already an eligible T-Mobile voice customer, then this plan costs them only $30. T-Mobile is likely to offer deals on their 5G plans, among others, based on last year’s Black Friday sales.
3. Verizon
Verizon’s 5G home internet has two main plans. One plan is called 5G Home, which costs around $50 monthly and $35 for those qualifying as Verizon mobile customers; it has an 85-300mbps download speed. The other plan is called the 5G Home Plus plan, which costs around $70 monthly and $45 for those qualifying as Verizon mobile customers. The download speed for this plan is 300-1000 Mbps.

Home WiFi
Aside from looking for 5G plans, one may want to switch to another WiFi network at home for multiple reasons. Black Friday is one of the best times to do so, as brands may offer steep discounts, bundle deals, and more to customers. Many other brands offer home WiFi services, including local internet service providers like Astound Broadband, Hughes Net, Optimum, and more. Some of the plans these companies offer include:

4. Astound Broadband
It is priced at around $25 to $60 a month, depending on the speed, which can vary from 300 to 1500 Mbps. The customer’s location also plays a role in the availability of any of these local connections needed for home WiFi.
5. HughesNet
Their connection is priced at $50 to $150 a month, and the speed also varies. A huge plus for this ISP is that they are nationwide and, so locality does not really matter when looking for a connection. There is also no hard data cap on their connection.
