Caleb Mercer

Caleb Mercer is the editorial voice for the team's research into the US home internet landscape. The work behind this byline cuts through the noise of provider marketing to surface what actually matters at the address. It breaks down the differences between fiber, cable, DSL and fixed wireless, weighs up promotional pricing against post-introductory rates, and translates dense terms of service into plain English. Readers find guidance that looks past advertised speeds and into the real-world performance, data policies and contract conditions that shape monthly bills across the country.
