Many providers are allowed to charge obscene rates for Internet access because citizens often have only one or two options in their area. They can\u2019t exactly go without Internet access, especially if their career depends on it. Further, the Internet access that they do pay for is often slower and less reliable than Internet access in other major countries. What gives?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these high monthly rates, you\u2019d think that all of these Internet providers would be equally safe to use. Unfortunately, that isn\u2019t the case. With this in mind, make sure to regularly check your Internet connection for security breaches. Click here to check your Wi-Fi\u2019s connection and security now:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/wifi_check\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7589\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Wifi-check.jpg\" alt=\"Wifi check\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless, there are still some Internet providers that value their customers\u2019 security more than others. The following are some of the best Internet providers available in the US \u2014 and the worst \u2014 for security purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Smaller Internet Providers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t necessarily rule out a smaller Internet provider if you live in an area that has that option. Since they are a smaller company, they\u2019re more likely to care about their customers\u2019 needs than, say, Comcast. Still, there are some disadvantages to going with a smaller provider, too. Don\u2019t hesitate to read reviews about the various companies in your area in order to make the best possible choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Verizon Fios<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fios may only be available in a select number of cities, but it is currently one of the best providers in the US. It boasts incredibly high upload and download speeds, in addition to reliable service, with a price that\u2019s similar to low-level Internet plans from other companies. For example, Fios\u2019 cheapest plan is $55\/month and includes 50\/50 Mbps. It also boasts much stronger security than other providers. If you want the most secure Internet provider, then go with Verizon Fios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Google Fiber<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong competitor to Verizon Fios is Google Fiber. Google Fiber, as the name suggests, also offers fiber optic Internet. They offer incredibly fast speeds \u2014 up to 1,000 Mbps \u2014 and a secure connection. There is currently limited availability but Google is looking to further expand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Calyx Institute<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Institute is dedicated to fast, secure Internet service. They have been developing their service for years, but they are still working on a true end-to-end encryption service. Currently, they offer their Internet service in Sprint\u2019s 4G\/LTE service area. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how they evolve over the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, not all Internet providers in the US are created equal.
