Internet availability in Alabama

T-Mobile, AT&T and Spectrum are the most available internet providers in Alabama, making fixed wireless, fiber and cable the most common types of internet connections (other than satellite). Cable is available to about 70% of the state, fixed wireless to 60% and fiber to 47%. 

Some areas of Alabama can access multi-gig fiber and cable, but there’s often a stark contrast in high-speed availability in Alabama’s rural regions. While FCC reports indicate that virtually all of Alabama can access an ISP offering at least 100 Mbps, actual reliability and performance can vary widely depending on your location within the state. Overall, Alabama internet ranks in the bottom 20% nationally for broadband availability.

Alabama internet assistance

Alabama residents have access to federal, state and local internet assistance programs to help them find affordable broadband. Some internet providers in Alabama also have low-income programs available to eligible customers.

Lifeline Be Linked Alabama ISP programs

Lifeline is a federal program providing $9.25/mo. toward internet, cellphone or bundled services. Eligibility depends on income and participation in a government assistance program.

Be Linked Alabama is a statewide initiative focused on expanding access to affordable high-speed internet in Alabama through partnerships with ISPs, research institutions, utility companies, community leaders and the Alabama legislature.

Internet providers in Alabama, such as AT&T, Xfinity, Spectrum and Verizon, offer low-income internet programs for eligible customers. If you already participate in a government assistance program and one of these providers is available at your Alabama residence, you can likely get access to an affordable internet option.

The future of internet in Alabama

Broadband expansion in Alabama has been well underway since 2017, especially in rural areas. Millions of funding dollars have been put toward middle- and last-mile broadband infrastructure from the Alabama treasury, with over $1 billion awarded from the federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. Fiber build-outs have been at the forefront of expansion, and the state of Alabama has ensured that 100% of farms, businesses and communities will have broadband access within five years.
