Best Internet Providers in Fayetteville, AR

The best internet providers in Fayetteville are AT&T Fiber, Cox, and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. AT&T Fiber is the best internet provider in Fayetteville because of its expansive coverage and blistering-fast fiber-optic speeds of up to 5 Gbps. Its internet plans start at $60 per month.

Compared to AT&T Fiber, Cox offers more coverage in Fayetteville with gigabit speeds over a cable network. Fayetteville residents who sign up for Cox can expect download speeds up to 1 Gbps. Cox plans also include the option to bundle TV and phone services, starting as low as $111 per month.

T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet is the most available internet provider in town, covering 94.6 percent of Fayetteville. Not only is T-Mobile readily available to most Fayetteville residents, it’s also highly rated for customer satisfaction, according to the 2022 American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Fastest Internet Providers in Fayetteville, AR

AT&T is the fastest provider in Fayetteville, with speeds up to 5 Gbps.

The fastest internet provider in Fayetteville is AT&T Fiber, followed by Cox and OzarksGo. AT&T Fiber plans offer speeds up to 5 Gbps. Due to the nature of fiber networks, AT&T Fiber subscribers get symmetrical download and upload speeds, so they can send data as quickly as they receive it.

As the second-fastest internet provider in Fayetteville, Cox offers download speeds up to 1 Gbps. While its cable network can’t match AT&T Fiber’s speeds, it still boasts reliability and low latency to satisfy users, making Cox an excellent option for households that don’t need fiber internet speeds.

OzarksGo is another fiber internet provider in Fayetteville. It offers gigabit internet speeds similar to those of Cox. OzarksGo is available to only 60 percent of Fayetteville residents, which puts it out of reach for residents of some areas. But if you’re looking for a fiber alternative, OzarksGo may offer better prices than Cox.
