Frontier Fios vs. Comcast – Which is the better Internet Service Provider

For a month I had both Frontier Fios and Comcast running side by side. This gave me a chance to do an analysis on them. I found that their good reputations in the market are well-deserved but they do have their quirks.

Frontier Fios and Comcast both deliver a wide range of speeds reaching gigabit levels ensuring you have constant supply of quality and fast internet. Comcast pledges high speed connection 24hours every day but limits you to 1TB monthly data although you can pay extra for the overage. Frontier on the other hand does not limit you at all!  Streaming 4K videos and with a number of connected devices requires unlimited data caps. Comcast still shines out in other areas though so it can be quite hard to choose between the two.
