Internet Providers in St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis may be known as the “Gateway to the West” for its history of exploration. However, the nickname is also fitting as the city is host to numerous internet providers that offer gateways to the World Wide Web. In St. Louis, your main choice for the best service will be between Spectrum and AT&T Fiber — which one is best for you may depend on where it’s available.

Spectrum offers the most coverage in St. Louis, reaching 94.9% of the city: From the downtown heart of St. Louis and both sides of Interstate 270 on the west; also covered are the areas east of the Mississippi River and into surrounding areas such as Belleville, Fairview Heights, and Collinsville. Whether you reside near the St. Louis Downtown Airport or in one of the many neighborhoods in North St. Louis, you’re likely in Spectrum territory on both sides of the state line between Missouri and Illinois.

That said, Spectrum’s coverage is less spotty within St. Louis proper, west of the Mississippi River. If you commute into downtown St. Louis from the Illinois side — or you live in Washington Park, East Carondelet, or near Horseshoe Lake — you may find Spectrum isn’t available at your address.

AT&T Fiber doesn’t have Spectrum’s coverage range, reaching only 60.9% of St. Louis. However, it does offer high speeds that are desirable for many residents looking for top-tier internet service. Admittedly, you may not find AT&T Fiber in North St. Louis above I-70 or out toward Westwood and Creve Coeur. AT&T Fiber is most available in areas such as downtown and West St. Louis — i.e., Marlborough, Richmond Heights, and around Tower Grove South.
