Fastest ISP Charter Communications
Charter is the third-largest cable provider in America, and like the other large cable providers, it has diverse technologies. The company has a proposed merger with Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable on the table, although it hasn't gone through yet. While it doesn't have Time Warner's 300Mbps top tier, its slowest 60Mbps tier is much faster than competing providers' low tiers.

Fastest Mobile Network Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless is America's LTE network king. An excellent nationwide buildout, broad swathes of 1700Mhz "XLTE" spectrum, and broad support for that spectrum across its phones meant that Verizon won more of our tested metro areas than any other.
1. | Verizon Wireless | 18.55 | / | 6.03 | Mbps |
