What’s the best internet overall in Georgia?
AT&T Fiber is the best internet service provider in Georgia, according to our CNET experts. It earned the top spot thanks to its combination of fast speeds, reliability and reasonable pricing. However, availability will depend on where you live within the state. AT&T Fiber's coverage is somewhat limited in Georgia, and there are only a handful of ISP options even within Georgia’s urban areas -- mainly Xfinity, Spectrum and Google Fiber. AT&T also offers copper-based internet in Georgia, but we don’t recommend it due to its slower speed range.
If you live in rural Georgia, your options include Kinetic by Windstream, Mediacom and Sparklight, depending on the area. Statewide, 5G home internet from T-Mobile and Verizon is available based on individual addresses, as well as satellite internet from Hughesnet, Viasat and SpaceX, whose Starlink satellite internet service is available in certain pockets of the Peach State.
