How we review internet in Atlanta
Our methodology
We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.
For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 290 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.
We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

3/5
Tech addresssd all concerns and explained what the next step was that I needed to take.
2/5
Dropped Xfinity 1200/35 was paying $95 under a two year contract with my own equipment and 1.2 tb monthly data cap. Thru AT&T fiber I went for the 2 gig symmetrical fiber here in Atlanta for $145 a month but may drop down to the 1 gig fiber for $80. I have no complaints, fiber connection has been speedy, love that there’s no data caps, and I use my own router with the AT&T gateway set to ip pass through.
5/5

What speed do you need in Atlanta?
Decide what speed you need before purchasing an internet plan. For a small household of one to two users, a 100 to 300 Mbps plan will keep you connected. If you live in a smart home with four or more heavy internet users, a 500 Mbps+ plan from AT&T Fiber or Xfinity is best. Gig plans can keep a house of gamers or work-from-home people connected without any lag or glitches, and fiber will be the most reliable connection from Google Fiber or Yomura Fiber in Atlanta.
The future of internet in Atlanta
Xfinity and AT&T are two of the top ISPs investing in fiber expansion throughout the city, with Comcast investing $1 billion in Georgia broadband expansion over the course of 10 years.
In Atlanta, Comcast also established Wi-Fi Lift Zones, which provide free Wi-Fi in Atlanta communities.
AT&T is also a massive investor in internet expansion within Atlanta and the greater state of Georgia. To date, AT&T has invested almost $17 billion in network infrastructure in the state. Atlanta residents can expect more expansion in the future, especially with Georgia’s BEAD funding allocation of $1.3 billion, which will help connect unserved and underserved communities across the state, including within the city of Atlanta.
