Fastest internet in Georgia
Fast internet in Georgia is primarily provided by fiber internet providers. AT&T Fiber offers speeds up to 4,700 Mbps** to 59% of the state, and Kinetic offers speeds up to 2,000 Mbps, but only to about 11% of the state. Fiber is the ideal internet type if you need fast internet, since it provides symmetrical upload and download speeds. If you can’t get fiber where you live, cable providers like Xfinity offer fast speeds up to 1,200 Mbps to over 50% of the state, and Spectrum offers speeds up to 1,000 Mbps to a more limited coverage area.

How we review internet in Georgia
From Athens to Valdosta, there is a variety of internet providers available in Georgia. That’s why we rate the Wi-Fi in Georgia on a multi-factor scale to clearly show you the top internet services.
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.
