Best internet providers in Georgia
Georgia has a diverse mix of internet service providers, and availability varies based on where you live. The three top-scoring providers in the state are AT&T, T-Mobile and Xfinity, but you’ll also find other options for fiber, cable, fixed wireless and satellite connections.
Outside of major urban areas, fiber and fixed wireless connections are particularly spotty in the Peach State. In that case, cable or satellite may be your best bet for finding a reliable home Wi-Fi connection.

We rated the largest internet providers in the U.S. for 2025. Each provider was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 based on over a dozen factors, including speed, cost, availability, fees, customer satisfaction, connection type and more. We also used data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to compare the average speed offered by internet companies in the U.S. to set a baseline for what is considered a good internet speed. Additionally, we analyzed data from the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) to understand how each internet service provider (ISP) fares in customer service and perceived value.
Internet technology in Georgia
Georgia internet providers offer numerous connection types, and your home Wi-Fi speed and performance will depend heavily on the technology your provider uses. While satellite is available everywhere in the state, its download speeds top out at 250 Mbps. Some cable and fixed wireless providers offer gigabit download speeds, but upload times are much slower. For top upload and download speeds, fiber internet is your best bet — but it’s only available in about 46% of the Peach State.

Top Georgia cities
Your best options for home internet in Georgia will depend on your city. The list of providers available in one metro area may differ from another, so it’s important to search by location. For example, Spectrum is one of several internet providers in Atlanta, but Xfinity is the primary cable provider in Augusta and Savannah.
Cheap internet options in Georgia
Xfinity and Mediacom offer the most affordable starting prices for Georgia home internet, but Xfinity is far more widely available in metro areas throughout the state. Prices for both providers’ cable plans start as low as $20/mo., and you can save by bundling internet with TV or home security. If those aren’t available in your area, you can still find cheap home internet plans for $50 or less from providers like Spectrum, T-Mobile, Verizon and Viasat. That sits on the lower end of the national average of $40 to $80/mo.
Fast internet options in Georgia
Budget-friendly plans are great, but they may not cut it for online gaming or heavy 4K streaming. If fast internet speed is a bigger concern for you than affordability, Georgia has plenty of options. Providers like AT&T and Earthlink offer symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 5 GB in many cities, and cable plans from providers like Xfinity, Spectrum and Mediacom can reach gigabit download speeds. Even Verizon 5G Home has a top plan with 1 GB download speeds.
Fast home Wi-Fi can be a little harder to come by in rural areas outside of major cities and suburbs, but you’ve still got options. Many fixed wireless providers reach rural areas with decent connection speeds, so you may be able to find service from companies like T-Mobile and Verizon. If not, your best bet is to check out a satellite internet provider like Viasat, Hughesnet or Starlink. All three providers are available throughout the Peach State, but you’ll need a satellite dish in order to get service.
