Find internet providers in Revere, MA
Find internet offered in Revere, MA – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Revere, your best bet is Xfinity, which reaches essentially the entire city and runs cable service with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps, a tier that covers about 96% of Revere. That is the easy default for most homes here. However, if Astound Broadband reaches your address, it is well worth a look. Astound covers about 96% of the city, and where its fiber lands, roughly 5% of Revere, it delivers symmetrical speeds up to 1,500 Mbps, which is a strong choice for anyone who uploads as much as they download. Out in Beachmont (02151), Xfinity wins the bulk of addresses at about 91% of the ZIP, while Astound’s fiber and cable pick up smaller slices, so it is worth checking street by street around Revere Beach, Point of Pines, and Oak Island. If neither cable option fits, fixed wireless from providers like Verizon, T-Mobile, or Starry can fill gaps at lower speeds. Coverage shifts from one block to the next, so confirm your exact address before you commit.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Revere
Astound Broadband is a strong choice in Revere, with both plans scoring at or near the top of the market. The cable plan reaches 96.4% of the city and offers up to 1500 Mbps download with up to 50 Mbps upload, a solid, reliable option that beats the city’s average top speed score of 62 with its score of 82. If you want the fiber plan, which delivers up to 1500 Mbps both ways and scores an excellent 99, note that it only covers 4.7% of Revere, so check whether it reaches your specific address before counting on it. Either way, both technologies handle streaming, gaming, and video calls well, with fiber offering symmetrical speeds and lower latency where available.
About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is an excellent choice in Revere, offering top-tier speeds through both fiber and cable technology. Their fiber plan delivers up to 1500 Mbps both ways with a speed score of 99/100, though it’s only available in about 5% of census blocks, while their cable plan offers the same download speed (up to 1500 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up) and reaches 96.4% of the city. Check your address to see if you can get the symmetrical fiber speeds, but either way you’re getting some of the fastest internet in Massachusetts.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Revere
Xfinity reaches all of Revere, with its top plans available to 100.0% of the city, so nearly everyone here has access to its fastest tiers. The 1 Gig plan scores 80 out of 100, an excellent rating that sits above the city average of 62, delivering up to 1000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload for $60 per month during the first year. Delivered over a fiber and cable network, real-world performance should hold up well for streaming, gaming, and multiple heavy users at once. Note that the exact technology serving your street can vary by address, so it is worth confirming which connection type reaches your home before you sign up.
About Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 100% of Revere with cable internet plans ranging from 300 Mbps up to 1.2 Gig. The 1 Gig plan at $60/mo for the first year offers excellent speeds (scoring 80/100 statewide) and strong value for most households, though upload speeds top out at 35 Mbps across all tiers. Even the entry-level 300 Mbps plan covers the entire city, so availability won’t be an issue wherever you’re located in Revere.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Revere
Households that want a straightforward, budget-friendly connection for streaming, browsing, and everyday work will find T-Mobile’s 5G fixed wireless a reasonable fit, especially the Rely Home Internet plan at up to 400 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up starting at $35 a month with a qualifying wireless line. If you need more headroom, the All-In Home Internet plan reaches up to 498 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up for $70 a month. Both plans post a Speed Score of 69/100, which sits above the Revere city average of 62, though fixed wireless performance can vary with signal and congestion. These plans reach about 70% of the city, so check availability at your specific address, and since faster wired technologies exist here, it is worth comparing what else serves your home before deciding.
About T-Mobile
T-Mobile offers fixed wireless home internet with up to 498 Mbps download speeds, a solid choice for households that stream, game, and work from home without needing the absolute fastest connections. Their All-In plan runs $70/mo (then $80/mo), while the Rely plan costs just $35/mo for 12 months if you’re already a T-Mobile wireless customer, making it an attractive budget option. These plans are available to about 70% of Revere, and while the speeds earn a good-but-not-excellent rating (Speed Score 69/100), they should handle most modern internet needs, though coverage is address-dependent.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Revere
Starlink uses satellite technology, which means your signal travels to orbit and back, so expect higher latency that can affect video calls and online gaming even when speeds are solid. The top Residential Max plan reaches 100.0% of Revere with speeds up to 400 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up, carrying a Speed Score of 64/100 that lands about the same as the city average of 62. If you want lower latency for streaming and calls, it’s worth checking what wired options reach your specific address, since fiber and cable serve parts of Revere. For lighter budgets, the 100 Mbps plan at $55 a month offers up to 100 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up with a 42/100 score.
About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite technology to deliver internet, which means it’s available across 100% of Revere but comes with higher latency that can affect video calls and gaming. The fastest plan offers up to 400 Mbps download for $130/month, though with speed scores in the 42-64 range these options rank below average compared to other internet technology in the state. Before choosing Starlink, check whether fiber or cable providers serve your address, as those technologies typically offer better performance for modern streaming and remote work needs.

Our recommendation for Revere
Verizon’s fiber plan runs on a direct optical connection, which means low latency and steady performance for streaming, video calls, and large downloads, with up to 300 Mbps down and up to 880 Mbps up for $49.99/mo. Its Speed Score of 69/100 sits above the Revere city average of 62, though that fiber plan currently reaches only 8.1% of the city, so its availability at your exact address is the main thing to confirm. If fiber is not offered where you live, the 5G Home fixed wireless option covers about 70% of Revere with up to 300 Mbps down and 75 Mbps up at $60/mo, a reasonable alternative that depends on wireless signal quality. Check what technology actually reaches your address before deciding.
About Verizon
Verizon offers fiber internet with up to 300 Mbps download speeds for $49.99/month, which delivers good speeds (score 69/100) for streaming, working from home, and most household needs. However, this fiber service only reaches about 8% of Revere, so most residents will need to rely on Verizon’s 5G Home fixed wireless option (up to 300 Mbps down, available to about 70% of the city), which requires bundling with a qualifying mobile plan and may experience more variability than wired connections. If you’re in the fiber footprint, it’s a solid choice, but check whether cable providers serve your address for a potentially more reliable wired connection.

Our recommendation for Revere
At $55 a month promotionally, then $60, AT&T Internet Air buys you symmetrical speeds of up to 300 Mbps both ways, a fair value for households that stream, video call, and work from home. Its Speed Score of 69 sits above the Revere city average of 62, which makes it a competitive pick in a market with nine providers. This is a 5G fixed wireless service reaching 35.4% of the city, so start by confirming it is available at your specific address. Keep in mind that fixed wireless can be more sensitive to signal conditions than wired options, so if faster or steadier alternatives reach your home it is worth comparing them before you commit.
About AT&T
AT&T’s service in Revere costs $55/mo (then $60/mo) for its Internet Air plan, which delivers up to 300 Mbps download and upload over fixed wireless technology. With a Speed Score of 69, this option performs just below the state average and should handle most household needs like streaming and video calls, though it’s available to about 35% of the city. Before committing, it’s worth checking whether fiber or cable providers serve your address, as those technologies typically offer more consistent performance than fixed wireless.

Starry Inc is a competitive fixed wireless option in Revere, with a headline Speed Score of 70/100 that lands above the city average of 62. The top Starry Gigabit plan offers up to 1000 Mbps down and 250 Mbps up for $45 a month promotionally, then $50, while the Starry 500 and Starry Internet 300 plans start as low as $30 a month for lighter needs. Fixed wireless is a solid choice for most everyday use, though real-world performance can vary more than fiber or cable, so it is worth confirming which technologies actually reach your address. These plans currently serve about 30% of the city, so availability depends on your specific location.
About Starry Inc
Starry Inc is a solid mid-tier option in Revere, offering fixed wireless plans with good speeds at competitive prices.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Revere
HughesNet’s Fusion plan runs $94.99 a month for the first year and then $119.99, buying you satellite service rated up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 32, which sits below the Revere average of 62. Satellite is the slowest of the available technologies and comes with higher latency, so real-world performance for video calls and gaming will feel limited compared to faster options. The cheaper Select and Lite tiers save money at $49.99 and $39.99 to start, but their Speed Scores of 1 reflect much thinner performance. Since this plan reaches 100.0% of the city, availability is not the concern; it is worth checking what other technologies reach your specific address before committing.
About HughesNet
HughesNet’s plans start at $39.99/mo for up to 25 Mbps satellite service and top out at $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps, but all three tiers earn very low speed scores (the fastest scores just 32 out of 100 in the state), and satellite internet comes with high latency that makes video calls and gaming difficult. These prices increase significantly after 12 months, jumping to as much as $119.99/mo for the top plan. Before choosing HughesNet, check whether fiber or cable providers serve your address, since those technologies offer much faster speeds and better performance for similar or lower monthly costs.

Viasat is best viewed as a fallback option in Revere, where its satellite service earns a headline Speed Score of just 1/100, below the city average of 62. The Essentials plan runs $69.99 a month for up to 55 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up, while the Unleashed plan costs $99.99 for up to 34 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up, and both reach 100.0% of the city. Satellite also brings high latency that can hamper video calls and gaming, so with fiber and cable alternatives active in this market, it is worth checking what faster technologies reach your specific address before committing.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc isn’t a great choice for Revere if you have other options available. The provider offers satellite internet with speeds up to 55 Mbps download for $69.99/month (scoring just 1 out of 100 for speed in the state), which means high latency and data limits that make streaming and video calls frustrating. Check whether fiber or cable providers serve your address first, as satellite should really only be a last resort when nothing else reaches your home.

How We Analyze Internet in Revere
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Revere report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Revere
How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
