Internet Availability in Albany, GA

Residents in Albany have 10 providers to choose from for a reliable internet connection, but which providers are available in your neck of the woods? Two wired internet providers stand out for the Georgia city: AT&T Fiber for fiber internet and Mediacom for cable internet.

AT&T Fiber covers only 37.9% of Albany, but the provider is available in major areas throughout the city. Murray Hill, Hollywood, select areas in Turner City, and locations close to the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport can access AT&T Fiber. The provider lacks coverage in Albany’s downtown area, though, specifically east of the Flint River.

Where AT&T falls short, Mediacom boasts widespread availability across Albany, covering 94.8% of the city. With strong coverage in downtown, Mediacom covers residents living east of the Flint River where AT&T doesn’t service. Mediacom offers robust coverage in the neighboring towns of Greenbrier and Oakdale, as well as in Winterwood, Colonial Place, Pecan Park, Murray Hill, Elon Village, East Albany, and plenty of other neighborhoods throughout Albany.

Mediacom doesn’t have many dead zones in Albany, but the most notable ones are in the southeast part of the city. Locations near the Marine Corps Logistics Base and the Procter & Gamble plant are outside of Mediacom’s service area.
