Alabama Internet Coverage & Availability in 2024

Alabama's Internet Ranking
Alabama currently ranks 24th among states in BroadbandNow’s annual rankings of internet coverage, speed and availability.
Access to Wired or Fixed Wireless Broadband: 89.1%
This means that roughly one in ten Alabama residents are not able to purchase an internet plan of at least 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload.
Access to Wired Low-Priced Broadband Plan**: 50%
This means that nearly five in ten residents are not able to purchase broadband at a price of $60/month or less (excluding promotions and government programs).
Access to Fiber-Optic Service: 44.3%
This means that six in ten residents are unable to purchase a fiber internet plan.
Number of Internet Providers in Alabama:
The U.S. has more than 2,891 internet service providers, with most covering very small areas. It is worth searching by zip code to see who is available in your town.

At BroadbandNow, we advocate for a definition of broadband internet to be at least 100Mbps, as opposed to the FCC definition of 25Mbps, which would be considered slow for many internet-intensive activities.

In Alabama, 85.4% of people have access to 100Mbps broadband, ranking 41st among all states.

In fact, the five counties with the highest rates of residents with access to broadband speeds of at least 100mbps are in metro areas, including Jefferson (99 percent) and Shelby (97 percent) counties, which are both in the Birmingham metro area. Counties in the Huntsville, Montgomery, and Auburn areas round out the top five. On the other hand, Perry County, the state’s least populous, also has the lowest rate of access to high-speed broadband.
