About Us
Shop Like Sam helps people choose internet and TV services with clarity and confidence. We combine accurate availability data, straightforward plan details, and unbiased guidance so you can make a smart decision—quickly and without the sales pressure.
Our Mission
To make home connectivity simple, transparent, and affordable. We believe everyone should be able to compare providers side by side, understand the real costs, and choose a plan that fits their needs—without hidden fees or confusing jargon.
Our Story
Finding reliable internet used to take hours of research across multiple sites. We started Shop Like Sam to put everything in one place: availability by ZIP code, clear pricing, plan features, and honest explanations of the trade-offs between fiber, cable, DSL, 5G home internet, and satellite. What began as a small comparison tool has grown into a full resource for choosing, setting up, and getting the most from your home connection.
What We Do
Side-by-Side Plans
We surface providers available at your address and show speed tiers, upload/download ranges, data policies, and typical fees—so you can compare on what matters.
Clear, Helpful Content
Our guides explain internet technologies in plain language, with tips for Wi-Fi coverage, speed selection, and saving money through bundles or promotions.
Human-First Help
We provide practical recommendations tailored to your household—streaming, gaming, remote work, smart home devices, or all of the above.
Transparent Details
We highlight contract terms, equipment notes, and post-promo pricing to help you avoid surprises on your bill.
Our Values
- Clarity: Plain language over jargon. We explain the “why,” not just the “what.”
- Accuracy: Plan and availability data are reviewed and updated regularly.
- Independence: Editorial insights are based on research and user needs—not paid placement.
- Privacy: We respect user choices and keep data practices simple and transparent.
- Fairness: We show national brands alongside local and regional providers where available.
Editorial Standards
Our editorial team researches, reviews, and fact-checks content before publication. When we make updates to plans, pricing, or availability, we revise pages to reflect the most current information. We call out limitations, trade-offs, and fees plainly—so you can choose with confidence.
We do not sell placements in editorial rankings or reviews. Sponsored offers, when present, are clearly labeled as such.

Shop Like Sam may receive compensation when users choose certain providers after comparing on our site. This helps us keep our tools and resources free to use. Compensation does not influence our editorial content. We always aim to present balanced information with the user’s best interest at the center.
Data & Privacy
We only collect the information needed to show you accurate availability and pricing. We do not sell personal information. Users can manage cookie preferences and learn more about data use in our privacy and cookie summaries available on the site.
