CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brightspeed, the nation’s third-largest fiber broadband builder focused on empowering more homes and businesses with ultrafast, reliable internet, earned the Fastest Internet Service Provider honor in the 2025 Annual Internet Service Provider Review conducted by HighSpeedInternet.com. Brightspeed Fiber Internet service’s average download speed is 290Mbps, a 21 percent increase compared to 2024’s fastest ISP and the fastest average download speed HighSpeedInternet.com has ever recorded in its annual provider review.
Brightspeed also earned the number three spot on the list of Most Reliable ISPs and the number five spot among the Best Overall ISPs.
“After launching Brightspeed Fiber Internet only two years ago, it’s an incredible honor to be recognized for our speed, reliability and overall service,” said Brightspeed CEO Tom Maguire. “We’re making a multi-billion-dollar investment to roll out our fiber network across our footprint because of its reliability, resiliency and lightning-fast speed. For customers, upgrading from copper to fiber is like upgrading from a dirt road to a superhighway for data. Future-proof fiber is built to handle the increasing demand for speed and capacity, ensuring a high-quality connection for years to come.”
“This year’s Internet Provider Review — the largest audit of the industry on record — highlights an industry at a turning point,” said Editor in Chief at HighSpeedInternet.com Michael De Medeiros. “Fiber ISPs have reclaimed their lead in speed, and customer satisfaction is improving across the board. More providers are recognizing that competitive pricing and reliability are just as critical as raw speed, which is great news for consumers.”
Every year, HighSpeedInternet.com compares the nation’s largest internet providers with millions of data points in the areas that matter most to customers: price, speed, reliability, and customer experience. The 2025 ISP Review ranks the nation’s top ISPs using a mix of proprietary and public data.

Additionally, HighSpeedInternet.com analyzes FCC coverage data, track real-time outage reports, and incorporate macro-outage insights from the IODA outage tracking project to assess reliability.
