(2) Monthly cost including equipment rental and taxes. (3) Contract terms and early termination fees. (4) Data caps — most fiber plans are uncapped, while some cable and satellite plans have limits. (5) Latency — critical for video calls and gaming; fiber averages under 10ms, cable 15–30ms, Starlink 20–40ms, and legacy satellite 500–600ms.
