Frequently Asked Questions

What internet providers can I get in Atlanta?

AT&T and Xfinity are the largest internet providers in Atlanta. AT&T stretches a little farther out from the city than Xfinity, but both have coverage basically everywhere inside the beltway.

Cox Communications and Spectrum are cable internet providers that have smaller footprints than AT&T and Xfinity. EarthLink has an even smaller service area, offering fiber and DSL internet options.

Atlanta is also one of the few places that have Google Fiber . Google offers just two plans with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps.

If you live in an area outside the reach of traditional landline internet, Viasat and HughesNet are your two satellite internet options.

How much is Xfinity Internet?

Xfinity’s cable internet plans start at $20 per month and run up to $80 per month, depending on the speed you choose. Xfinity’s single fiber plan costs $299.95 per month, but it isn't widely available. 

Prices and packages vary by area, so enter your zip code below to see what’s available to you.

How do I turn off Xfinity Wi-Fi?

To disable your Xfinity Wi-Fi, do the following:

Step 1: Open a web browser and enter 10.0.0.1 in the address bar. This will take you to your router’s preferences.

Step 2: Select Disable in the Wireless Network field.

Step 3: Select Save.

To turn it back on, just repeat the process and select Enable instead.

How do I get my Xfinity modem online?

You can get your Xfinity modem online by checking out our guide to Xfinity self-installation. Just follow a few important steps, and you’ll be connected.

How can I boost the Wi-Fi signal from my Xfinity modem?

Consider a Wi-Fi extender to boost your Wi-Fi signal from your Xfinity modem. These devices can increase the range of your network, which can improve performance in dead zones or areas far from the router’s location.

How do I make my Xfinity Wi-Fi more secure?

You can make your Xfinity Wi-Fi more secure by following these tips:

Use a secure password or passphrase

Your password should include numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters. Better yet, use a passphrase that contains multiple unrelated words, like beanracooncoal, but with a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Use your firewall

Your computer and router have built-in firewalls. Turn them on if they’re disabled. The exact process varies from device to device, but it’s usually pretty easy. Ask tech support for help if you need it.

Have guests use the public Xfinity hotspot

If guests use a public hotspot, you won’t need to share your private network’s password. Plus, Xfinity Gateways broadcast a public hotspot by default, so there’s no setup necessary.

How much is AT&T Internet?

AT&T's DSL internet costs $55 per month. Its fiber internet plans range from $55 to $180 per month. Enter your zip code below to see what plans are available in your area.

What is AT&T Fiber?

AT&T Fiber is AT&T’s fastest internet service, with speeds up to 5,000 Mbps (yes, you read that correctly). As the name suggests, this service operates using fiber-optic cables rather than traditional copper cables. Fiber is more efficient and reliable than standard cable TV lines.

How fast is AT&T Fiber?

AT&T Fiber speeds range from 300 Mbps to 5,000 Mbps. Eventually, AT&T will offer 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps) connections in the Atlanta area.

Atlanta residential internet coverage

The two biggest internet providers in Atlanta are AT&T and Xfinity. Both are available all over the metro area and extend far out beyond the Atlanta beltway.

AT&T provides DSL internet speeds up to 100 Mbps. It’s available from Gainsville in the northeast all the way down to LaGrange in the southwest. Coverage also extends from Tallapoosa to the west out to Athens in the east.

AT&T’s fiber has a smaller footprint but offers speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. Eventually, AT&T will offer a 10,000 Mbps plan, the fastest internet speeds currently provided to homes.

Google Fiber is another option if you want fast fiber internet. There are just two plans with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps. It’s the fastest internet provider in the US based on proprietary data we analyzed for our annual Fastest Internet Providers report.

For cable internet, Xfinity plans range from 75 Mbps to 1,200 Mbps. It has a slightly smaller coverage area than AT&T, but it still provides some of the best internet services to millions of Atlanta residents.

Cox Communications and Spectrum are two other cable internet providers in the Atlanta area with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. EarthLink offers both DSL and fiber, but its coverage area isn’t as widespread.

If you’re unhappy with the landline internet options, Viasat and HughesNet are your satellite providers. Their plans are slower than wired internet and typically cost more too.

Highest-rated internet service providers in Atlanta

Xfinity is your #1 cable internet provider in the Atlanta area based on our latest customer satisfaction survey.

Patrice W | 07-28-2023

Xfinity blocked me for 6 months to pay online!!! After showing evidence of my bank account being compromised and 20 failed attempts to make a payment I went to a Xfinity location showing proof my account was jeopardized. However Xfinity sent me a text thanking me for my automated payment which did not go through because the bank was in the process of correcting my bank account. I was told that I had to have the Exact amount due in cash. So I miss an ENTIRE day of work and was given a number to call to unblock my auto payment. I just hung up with an Xfinity and was told for 6 months I have to go to a location to pay. Wow!! Will certainly investigate another service. This is WRONG!!!!!

I had one problem, and Xfinity has refused to do anything about it unless I give them more money. My account is current and up-to-date. I called for technical support, and the so-called customer service agent threatened me if I do not pay an extra $99 for a tech to come to my home. I was not offered any technical support. My next call will be to file a complaint with the FCC.
