Internet Availability in Montgomery, AL

Residents in Montgomery have their pick of 11 providers for internet access. Cable internet from two providers features the widest availability, but residents do have two fiber internet options — depending on where they’re located in The Gump.

AT&T Fiber covers 30.9% of the city. Coverage is sporadic, with a large service area near Alabama State University and Edgemont Heights. Forest Hills, Capital Heights, and homes east of Eastern Boulevard can also enjoy AT&T Fiber’s service.

While not as widespread as AT&T, Lightpath does offer fiber internet service to Montgomery residents. You’ll have to contact the provider if you’d like the specifics on where exactly their fiber internet service reaches.

Both providers have sweeping coverage with few dead zones from Catoma Creek up to the Montgomery Zoo. Spectrum’s coverage doesn’t reach east of Norman Bridge Road near Snowdoun, but WOW! services the area.
