Internet Availability in Huntsville, AL

Huntsville is a city with plenty of options for high-speed internet providers. Google Fiber, AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, Mediacom, and WOW! all offer wired internet with gigabit speeds. Not every provider will be available in your neighborhood, though. Here are the areas the different providers cover.

Google Fiber covers 72.0% of Huntsville. It brings fast speeds to central neighborhoods like Dallas and Terry Heights, and suburbs like Cherry Creek and Redstone Park.

AT&T Fiber has 65.5% coverage starting from Echols Hill and going out to the farthest suburbs. AT&T Fiber does have a coverage hole on the southwest side of the city; so, if you live in the center near the Museum of Art or in West Huntsville, you’re not likely to have AT&T Fiber as an option.

Xfinity is a reliable cable internet option that offers almost universal coverage to 84.8% of the city — with a small exception around the stadium area. From Normal to Woodridge and everywhere in between, you can count on Xfinity Cable as an option if fiber providers do not cover you.

WOW! is another fiber option in Huntsville that’s available to 77.2% of the city. You can choose WOW! almost anywhere in the city. However, the exceptions are along Dallas Avenue near the Huntsville Depot, part of Cavalry Hill, and a couple of other minor spots.

Mediacom only covers 16.6% of the city, with a few spots between Five Points and Echols Hill in the city center; you may want to check it out if you live in the northern suburbs like Chase and Normal.
