Georgia ranks #21 nationally for average internet speeds, where 41.05% of the state has fiber internet access and 71.26% is covered by cable. Metro areas like Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah benefit from these robust fiber and cable networks which provide gigabit speeds and competitive choices for consumers.
However, rural regions—including parts of Southwest, North, and Middle Georgia—still face significant connectivity challenges. In these areas, residents often rely on slower DSL or satellite services due to limited fiber availability. Fortunately, the expansion of 5G home internet brings faster and more reliable connections to underserved communities.
Major internet service providers such as Xfinity, AT&T, and Windstream dominate Georgia’s broadband landscape, while smaller providers and cooperatives help expand rural broadband networks. Notably, Conexon Connect achieved a major milestone by completing a 2,000-mile fiber broadband network in just two years—surpassing subscriber projections and significant improving internet access in rural Georgia. The company also recently completed its third fiber-to-the-home network, further bridging the state’s digital divide.
