Best ISPs for streaming: We have new intel on the fastest providers

There’s no purer form of rage than what stems from watching your streaming content buffer ad infinitum. Whether it’s upload speeds, download speeds, or latency that’s causing the stop-and-go, there’s a better life out there: You just need a good internet service provider recommendation.

The FCC does require internet service providers to provide some level of transparency about their broadband plans. But switching internet typically still involves tedious research — unless you’re simply handed some cold, hard data on the fastest ISPs for streaming. Mashable’s parent company, Ziff Davis, happens to have a service that literally gives out awards for ISPs with the fastest internet speeds: meet Ookla. Between January and June of 2025, Ookla conducted millions of consumer-initiated speed connection tests (officially called the Speedtest) of the top internet service providers (some fiber, some hybrid fiber-coaxial).

Those results are accompanied by a handful of user experience metrics to form one big Speedtest Connectivity Report, and we got the inside scoop. Now, we’re passing it along to you. Let’s get you up to speed on which internet service providers are the best for streaming in 2025.
