Brightspeed Internet Plans, Pricing & Reviews
Fiber and DSL internet across 20 states — no annual contracts, no data caps, and fiber starting at $29/mo for the first 6 months.
About Brightspeed: Brightspeed is a relatively new ISP formed in 2022 after acquiring Lumen Technologies' legacy telecom assets across 20 states. Despite being new, it already ranks as the fifth-largest DSL provider in the U.S., serving over 1.3 million locations. Its primary coverage areas are North Carolina, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Brightspeed is rapidly expanding its fiber network — fiber download speeds reach up to 2 Gbps, putting it on par with major gigabit providers.

Bottom line: Brightspeed is a strong choice if fiber is available at your address — competitive pricing, no contracts, unlimited data, and symmetrical speeds are all genuine advantages. The main caveat is that the $29/mo intro rate lasts only 6 months; confirm the post-promo price before signing up. If only DSL is available at your address, the 40 Mbps max speed may not be sufficient for households with 3+ users. Call (978) 723-5746 to check availability.
