Georgia internet, from metro Atlanta's two wires to the rural fiber build

Fiber is available at 70.3% of the 3,887,766 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Georgia, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 96.0%. 62.0% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 34.0% there is only one.1

South region, South Atlantic division

Georgia's map has two stories. Around Atlanta, AT&T fiber and Xfinity cable overlap so widely that most homes and businesses can choose between two wired providers; across the rural south, fiber built since 2022 now reaches most locations in several counties that had almost none four years ago. The gaps left are small and scattered, and the state's BEAD plan leaves $1.00 billion2 of its allocation unassigned to construction.

AT&T, Xfinity and three 5G networks

Satellite aside, the company that reports service at the most Georgia locations is T-Mobile, at 70.9%. Nearly all of that is licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, and T-Mobile offers 100/20 Mbps at only 22.2% of locations. Verizon's fixed wireless network is almost as wide, at 66.2%, with 100/20 at 22.4%1. Reach and speed are different measures for these networks, and the gap between them is large.

The wired picture is led by two companies. AT&T reports service at 69.5% of locations and fiber at 40.9%, the largest fiber footprint in the state; the rest of its reach is DSL and fixed wireless. Xfinity's cable network covers 53.7%, and at 12.7% of the state's locations it is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. Spectrum (17.6%), Kinetic (12.9%) and Mediacom (6.3%1) hold most of the remaining cable and telephone territory.

Behind the large names is an unusually long list. 74 companies report fiber somewhere in Georgia, a count 8th highest1 among the states, up from 513 in June 2022. Beyond the companies in the table, each reports service at only a small share of the state's locations. All figures here are as of June 30, 2026, in the FCC file revised November 10, 2026; "available" means a provider reports that it could install standard service within ten business days, a claim anyone can challenge on the FCC map.

Fiber arrived from two directions

In June 2022, fiber was reported at 40.5% of Georgia's homes and businesses. By June 2026 the share was 70.3%, a rise of 29.9 percentage points, against 25.4 percentage points nationally. Copper went the other way: DSL availability fell from 59.9%3 to 46.4%1.

Two FCC methods: until 2021 a census block counted as served if one location in it was (Form 477, share of people); since 2022 every location is counted on its own (National Broadband Map, share of locations). The vertical line marks the break; the series are not comparable across it. Form 477 "100 Mbps" is a download tier with a lower upload tier.

The chart joins two FCC methods. Until 2021 the Form 477 reports counted a census block as covered if one location in it could be served, so the older figures overstate coverage; from 2022 the National Broadband Map counts each location.

The first direction is the Atlanta suburbs. Henry County gained 32.5 percentage points of fiber coverage, Clayton County 31.2 percentage points and Cherokee County 35.5 percentage points. Gwinnett and DeKalb now have fiber at 85.3% and 85.1%1 of locations.

The second is rural south Georgia, where the change is far steeper. In 58 of Georgia's 1596 counties the fiber share rose by 50 percentage points or more. Grady County, on the Florida line, gained the most, +91.3 percentage points, and fiber now reaches 94.5% of its locations. The largest provider there is Conexon Connect LLC, which reports fiber at 67.0% of the county. In Baker County the same company reports fiber at 77.3% of locations, matching the county's whole fiber share. In Bacon County, where ATC Broadband LLC reports fiber at every location, Conexon Connect reports it at 79.9%1 as well.

Statewide, Conexon Connect reports fiber at 239,511 Georgia locations (6.2%), about half of the 479,836 locations it reports nationwide and more than in any other state, and it is the only wired 100/20 provider at 2.6%1 of the state's locations.

Fiber also changed which speeds are advertised. At 70.5% of locations the fastest advertised download is now 2 Gbps or more, against 17.2%3 in 2022, and gigabit service with 100 Mbps uploads is reported at 81.0%, the 12th highest1 share among the states.

Two wired choices around Atlanta, one in much of the south

Coverage says whether a wire reaches a location; choice says how many. At 51.7% of Georgia's locations exactly two wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps, the 11th highest share in the country, usually a fiber network and a cable network side by side. Three or more is rarer, at 10.3%, and two fiber networks overlap at only 9.9%1.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; Census Bureau, Cartographic boundary file cb_2025_us_county_5m. Darker counties have larger gaps. Point at a county for its value; the county table has every figure. FCC file revision of November 10, 2026. Shares are of broadband serviceable locations (homes and businesses), not people.

In parts of north Georgia, cable and DSL still reach more locations than fiber. Murray County has the lowest fiber share in the state, 23.8%, though cable is reported at 81.8% of its locations. In Towns County the reported fiber share is lower than in 2022, by 14.3 percentage points; the FCC data record the change in filings but not its reason. Cable (61.5%) and DSL (65.8%) are reported there more widely than fiber (45.4%), and 8.7%1 of its locations are unserved.

Fixed wireless rarely fills these gaps on its own. At 25,637 locations (0.7%), 100/20 Mbps comes only by fixed wireless, a share tied for 13th lowest1 among the states.

BEAD: a low-cost plan with most of the money unassigned

Few state plans buy as much per dollar. Georgia's approved Final Proposal under the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program reaches 119,814 locations for $304.6 million, $2,543 each, the 3rd lowest cost per location of any state plan, and the chosen providers put in $522.9 million2, more than the BEAD money itself. The state's allocation is $1.31 billion, the 9th highest7 among the states.

Fiber takes 91,336 of the plan's locations (76.2%). Cable takes 12.4% and low-Earth-orbit satellite 11.4% (13,674 locations); no location went to fixed wireless. $1.00 billion2 of the allocation is not assigned to construction in the plan, and how that money may be used was not settled as of November 2026. The Georgia Broadband Office publishes the state's BEAD grant documents.

Earlier federal programs are also building in Georgia. Treasury's Capital Projects Fund allocated $259.9 million8, and Rural Digital Opportunity Fund recipients have reported service deployed at 89,858 locations, with $112.9 million9 disbursed.

Prices, discounts and who subscribes

The FCC map carries no prices, and this page publishes none. Lifeline, the FCC's monthly discount for eligible low-income households, had 142,40411 Georgia subscribers, and USAC estimates that 21.0% of eligible households take part, the 13th highest12 rate among the states. The Affordable Connectivity Program had 722,47313 Georgia households enrolled when it stopped taking sign-ups in February 2024; it ended on June 1, 2024.

Subscriptions have risen sharply. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 5.5% of Georgia households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±0.2 percentage points), against 14.8%15 in 2019. 77.8% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL and 12.3% relied on a cellular data plan alone. Income still separates households: 82.7% of those earning under $20,000 had a broadband subscription (±1.6 percentage points), against 97.8%14 of those earning $75,000 or more.

Questions and answers

What internet providers serve Georgia?

Excluding satellite, the providers that report service at the most Georgia locations are T-Mobile (70.9%, mostly 5G home internet), AT&T (69.5%, with fiber at 40.9%), Verizon (66.2%, licensed fixed wireless) and Xfinity (53.7%, mostly cable). In all, 751 companies report wired service somewhere in the state, as of June 30, 2026.

How much of Georgia has fiber internet?

At least one provider reports fiber at 70.3% of Georgia's 3.9 million1 homes and businesses as of June 30, 2026, against 40.5%3 in June 2022. Whether a given address has it is a question for the FCC's National Broadband Map, which lists every provider reporting service there.

How many people in Georgia lack broadband?

Counted in homes and businesses, the FCC's unit, 57,353 Georgia locations (1.5%) had no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps as of June 30, 2026, against 9.6%3 in June 2022, with the highest share in Banks County; another 55,166 were underserved. At 20,4331 locations satellite is the only service reported.

What is the cheapest internet in Georgia?

This page gives no prices: the FCC map has none and no official Georgia price survey exists. Plan prices and fees are on each provider's broadband facts label. Low-income households can apply for Lifeline, the $9.25 monthly federal discount, which had 142,40411 Georgia subscribers.

How much BEAD money does Georgia get?

$1.31 billion, the 9th highest7 among the states. Georgia's approved plan is one of the cheapest per location, $2,543 across 119,814 locations, and $1.00 billion2 remains unassigned.

Checking one address in Georgia

The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
