Despite more and more companies requiring employees to return to the office, the telework/hybrid life is still going strong. Across US-based PCMag readers who took our Business Choice ISP survey, 28% work exclusively from home. Meanwhile, 38.8% work from home multiple days a week, and a majority (54.9%) say they do so at least occasionally. No matter where employees get their jobs done, internet connectivity is paramount. If you work from home, you need to choose the best ISP to keep connected and up to speed. If you run the IT department for a large office, choosing a provider can make or break the work done there. Which ISP is right for your workplace? The answer depends on your specific needs and service availability—sadly, affordable fiber optics aren’t available to all. But we’ve got a cross-section of providers below, selected by PCMag readers, representing the best in class. For the best home internet service providers, read our Readers’ Choice 2025: ISPs coverage. The Top US ISPs for Work in 2025Home Office ISPsThe top of the chart in terms of working from home belongs to a municipal provider, Nextlight, available in a suburb of Denver, CO. Fiber-to-the-home services provided by a local utility company like this score well with home users, and more than enough of the people rating Nextlight also use it for working from home.In the subcategories where it earns a score, Nextlight is on top, even besting the bigger name GFiber, though the two tie for likelihood to recommend. “Great value, excellent customer service, excellent product,” says one work-from-home Nextlight user.Only a select few can take advantage of a muni ISP, however. So we also always pick a major ISP as a winner, and this year, that’s clearly AT&T Fiber. Of all the ISPs with a multi-state reach in the millions, AT&T Fiber has the best scores.(Note: Click the arrows in our interactive charts to view various elements of our survey results.)Respondents had favorable things to say about AT&T Fiber. “My wife works from home, and we had a fiber cut in the yard; they were quick to repair it, in three hours,” says one respondent. Another offers, “AT&T Fiber still beats any of the cable services we have tried.” When it comes to satellite-based ISPs for working from home, Starlink stands alone. The other satellite ISPs don’t even make the cut, as not enough of our readers rate them. Even so, Starlink scores incredibly well, with numbers only bested by local fiber providers. Respondents typically refer to the service as pricey—it scores lowest for value—but note that it is a step up from any other option they have available. Astound Broadband wins as the top cable company for work-from-home use. It also has high scores for mobile and home phone service, both things that telecommuters are very likely to put to use. Lastly, the T-Mobile 5G Home InternetWork ISPs We ask respondents to rate the ISPs they use in a workplace that isn’t at home. The usual suspects tend to be huge names in the internet world, like Spectrum (from Charter) or Xfinity (from Comcast), and both do indeed appear in this list. But at the bottom. Recommended by Our EditorsThis year, Astound Broadband also is the top ISP with readers for in the office outside the home.Astound seals the deal with high marks in all its subcategories, in particular ease of use, speed, and reliability. Reader comments include “Nothing but great things to say” and “These guys are the best. I had my business set up for success in no time.” IT-Managed ISPsThis list was a little larger than last year, when the award went to Astound and Fios. This time around, those two weren't in the running, leaving the field to just three players.AT&T. The company improved its scores since 2024, from 7.9 out of 10 for overall satisfaction to an 8.2. When IT adopts AT&T for use, the ISP earns very high scores for connection reliability, speed, and ease of use. It also earns a good rating for management, an important factor for an IT department.The Top Canadian ISPs for Work in 2025Home Office ISPsThe majority of Canadians use one of the big three ISPs (Bell, Rogers, and Telus) or one of their off-shoot “flanker” brands, which use their parent company's network. But there are a select few ISPs that also have their own network and are trying to grow by not just leasing lines from others. Those include companies like Cogeco, Eastlink, and Videotron. The latter is once again the top pick in our survey by Canadians who work from homeVideotron is the top ISP for overall satisfaction, speed, and ease of use; it ties with TekSavvy (an ISP that mainly uses lines owned by other providers) for customer service. Among ancillary services that business users will appreciate, Videotron rates high for its mobile phone service and the home Wi-Fi routers it provides. “Fast and worth the price,” one user says of Videotron.Other noteworthy top scores for work-from-home go to Virgin Plus (owned by Bell), which has the top scores for value, reliability, and tech support, plus ties with leader Videotron for customer service. But somehow, with all that, Virgin Plus only landed in fifth place.We also focus on the big three, since many people prefer having an ISP from a major corporation, especially for work. Bell Canada tops the list of those providers, narrowly staying ahead of Telus for overall satisfaction again this year. “Bell Canada has always been very good at offering reliable internet," says one respondent, "so we are able to get our jobs done properly and quickly.” Work and IT-Managed ISPsFor the second year in a row, Telus is the top pick for ISPs managed by IT teams. It also earns the top spot for ISPs in offices, as chosen by the employees who use it. The scores Telus earns are the best across every possible category, though it's just a couple of tenths of a point above Bell for overall satisfaction. But the spread is higher in categories like cost, reliability, tech support, customer service, and management. “Telus at my workplace [is] a seamless, positive experience with no problems,” says one survey taker. Another says it has “the best customer service in the world," adding that the "connection is amazing.” When it comes to IT-managed ISPs, Telus also wins, and with even higher numbers. In many cases, it's a full point ahead of Bell. Meanwhile, Rogers consistently comes in third in all areas in both charts, except for setup, where it beats Bell (but not Telus) both times.The PCMag Business Choice survey for ISPs in the US was in the field from Feb. 10 to May 5, 2025; the Canadian survey was conducted via a panel of users from Feb. 24 to March 3, 2025.

It is the focal point of the revitalization of Katendrecht, a neighborhood by the harbor that was once the location of the oldest Chinatown in continental Europe and Rotterdam's red-light district.MAD Architects completed the building in collaboration with the Droom en Daad Foundation.Image  © Iwan Baan"When MAD Architects was asked to work on Fenix, we knew we had to create a dialogue with the existing building and its surroundings—and with a past containing so many stories of migration, memories, and uncertainty," said Ma Yansong, Founder and Principal Architect of MAD.The 16,000-square-meter structure, which dates back to 1923, was formerly a section of the world's largest warehouse and was crucial to the shipping and storage of the Dutch cargo and passenger line Holland America Line. In the 19th and 20th centuries, millions of migrants arrived and left from the nearby docks, made their journeys easier by the Holland America Line.Image  © Iris van den BroekCalled Fenix, it is the first cultural project of MAD architects in Europe. Its architectural masterwork, the Tornado, a dynamic, organic structure reminiscent of rising air, will be visible to visitors right away. Starting from the ground floor, this double-helix staircase ascends and exits the rooftop onto an observation platform that is suspended over the city. Visitors will be treated to breathtaking views of Hotel New York, the former Holland America Line headquarters, and the River Maas.Image  © Iwan BaanThe 2,275-square-meter Plein on the bottom level of Fenix is designed to resemble an indoor city plaza. It will be free for everyone and curated for and with Rotterdam's diverse communities, providing a platform for interaction and communication. Throughout the year, it will feature community gatherings, performances, large-scale events, and investigations of other culinary cultures. There will be a kiosk where guests can purchase a drink or snack and browse newspapers from around the globe.Image  © Iwan BaanRetail and dining options at the museum include Granucci Gelato, a gelateria on the museum's quayside that serves award-winning artisanal ice cream made by the Granucci family, who have been making gelato in the Netherlands since 1929, and O Café and Bakery, which is run by Michelin-starred Turkish chef Maksut Aşkar. With views of the city, the Espresso Bar is situated in the museum's first-floor exhibition area. The museum store, which is situated in the main entrance area, offers food, games, dinnerware, and other products to make visitors feel at home and included.Image  © Iwan Baan"Migration stories are the heartbeat of Fenix. We've woven them into every element - whether it's the magic of Ma Yansong’s architecture, the memories evoked by the artworks on display, the freely accessible Plein, or the gelateria by the Granucci family. We want everyone to feel welcome," said Anne Kremers, Director of Fenix."Fenix is funded by the Droom en Daad Foundation, founded in 2016 and led by Wim Pijbes, former Director of the Rijksmuseum. The Droom en Daad Foundation is helping redefine Rotterdam for the 21st century – developing new kinds of arts and culture institutions and fostering new creative talent that reflects the city’s diversity, its spirit and its history," Kremers.All Directions Installation View with Kimsooja's Bottari Truck.
