Internet Availability in Fayetteville, NC

Fayetteville residents can choose from 12 providers for a reliable internet connection. While Spectrum’s cable service reigns supreme, residents can access fiber and DSL connections depending on their location.

Spectrum boasts wide availability across Fayetteville, covering 93.6% of the city. Downtown Fayetteville features great coverage with a few dead spots near Grove Street and Hay Street’s downtown section. A majority of areas along both sides of the Cape Fear River have access to the provider as well. However, small sections throughout East Fayetteville, Williams Village, and near the Fayetteville International Airport lack coverage.

While only servicing 57.0% of the city, Metronet is a great fiber option for Fayetteville residents in the coverage area. Metronet features localized coverage in downtown Fayetteville between Grove Street and Russell Street. It covers both the west and east sides. If you live east of Gillespie Street and south of Person Street, where Spectrum lacks coverage, Metronet provides service. Homes east of the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway, between Hay Street and Robeson Street, can also access Metronet’s service.

If you’re looking for a different internet connection, Brightspeed’s DSL service is another leading choice for Fayetteville residents. Its coverage is vast, reaching most areas around the city center, such as the neighborhoods on both sides of Bragg Boulevard. It doesn’t cover public locations, such as Fayetteville State University and Mazarick Park.
