What is the best internet provider in Gainesville?
AT&T Fiber is CNET’s pick for the best broadband service provider in Gainesville, Georgia. We picked it as the top option because it offers blistering fast symmetrical broadband speeds of up to 5,000Mbps. On top of that, it comes with straightforward pricing, no data caps, and high customer satisfaction levels — a testament to the quality of service provided.
Point Broadband is another fiber internet provider, but it doesn’t have great availability yet. Spectrum is one ISP you’ll find wherever you are in Gainesville. It’s the area’s largest cable provider — Spectrum is available to roughly four out of five homes in Gainesville, offering download speeds of 500 to 1,000Mbps. If you’re looking for cheap internet in Gainesville, Xfinity offers the lowest introductory price, with plans starting from $30 a month for maximum download speeds of 150Mbps.
If you need wireless options, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon 5G Home Internet are great choices for cheap internet. Both providers will shave a few bucks off your bill if you bundle a mobile plan, and they also include free equipment rental and unlimited data. Gainesville has a median download speed of 275Mbps, according to Ookla’s latest data, indicating that the city is pretty well connected. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Below is our rundown of the top picks.
