In Detroit, the two main choices are AT&T and Xfinity — AT&T Fiber leads on value and symmetrical speed (up to 5 Gig), Xfinity is the widely-available cable provider (up to 2 Gig), with WOW! the cheapest option and local Rocket Fiber the outright speed champion (up to 10 Gig) where available.
For most Detroiters, the decision comes down to whether AT&T Fiber reaches your address (the better pick — symmetrical, no contracts, free self-install) or whether you'll use Xfinity cable (the broad fallback, with bundle options from $40). WOW! offers the cheapest entry (~$20), and Detroit-based Rocket Fiber is technically the fastest in the metro (up to 10 Gig) but with more limited availability. Skip AT&T's older DSL.
