Best Internet Providers in New Orleans, LA

AT&T Fiber is the best internet service provider in New Orleans. Fiber internet is the fastest and most reliable connection type. AT&T Fiber currently has a corner on the fiber market in New Orleans, but its biggest competitor, Cox, is working to expand its fiber network in the city, so you may see more options soon. AT&T Fiber offers an excellent fiber internet service with lightning fast speeds up to 5 Gbps and plans that start at $55 per month. It covers 12.9% of New Orleans with good availability in residential downtown areas.

If AT&T Fiber isn’t an option in your neighborhood, cable internet is the next best choice. The top cable internet provider in New Orleans is Cox. Cox’s cable internet connections are available virtually everywhere in New Orleans, so it’s likely to be the best bet for high speed broadband in your neighborhood. Cox’s top download speeds reach up to 2 Gbps, which is impressive for a cable connection, and more than enough speed for the average user. Cox offers internet-only plans starting at $70 per month, but many customers prefer to get even better value by bundling phone, mobile, and TV services. Cox’s bundle deals start at $111 per month.

Other internet providers in New Orleans offer connection types like DSL, IPBB, fixed wireless and 5G, which we don’t recommend. Wired connection types like fiber and cable offer much better speed and reliability.

Check out promotions from internet providers to get the best deals on internet plans in New Orleans, especially if you’re a new customer. Major national providers like AT&T Fiber and Cox usually offer deals that can drastically lower your internet bill. Currently, AT&T Fiber is offering up to $150 in Visa Reward Cards when you purchase an AT&T Fiber Internet 1000 plan or higher. If you need less speed, you can also get a $50 or $100 Visa Reward Card with the Internet 300 or Internet 500 plans. For an added bonus, all AT&T Fiber plans are eligible for an additional $100 Visa Reward Card when you use the promo code “EXTRA100” at checkout or call to order. On the other hand, Cox offers $14.99 off per month on plans when you bundle your internet with Cox Mobile. Deals change frequently, sometimes more than once a month, so check back often for updated promotions.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is a strong contender for anyone seeking a wireless alternative to traditional providers. It connects via cell towers and delivers reliable internet straight to your home with an easy plug-and-play setup. The pricing is pretty competitive, ranging from $60 to $70 per month.

Fastest Internet Providers in New Orleans, LA

The fastest internet service provider in New Orleans is , and the top available speed is up to 5 Gbps.

Cox is also a very fast internet service, and the average user will likely be happy with their gigabit download speed. However, there’s a reason why fiber users get more for their money when it comes to speeds. Fiber offers “symmetrical” speeds, meaning upload speeds are just as fast as download speeds, unlike cable internet which prioritizes download speed. That’s why AT&T Fiber can offer upload speeds of 5 Gbps while Cox’s uploads only reach 100 Mbps and can sometimes be as low as 25 Mbps. This can make a noticeable difference if you’re online gaming or making video calls. Fiber internet is also more reliable at peak traffic times.

Don’t forget about data caps, which can restrict your internet speed and trigger extra charges when you exceed your limit. Fiber providers don’t impose data caps, so AT&T Fiber customers don’t have to worry about them. But if you choose Cox in New Orleans, be aware you will be capped at 1 TB unless you pay extra for unlimited data. However, regular data allowances are usually more than enough for most users.

Internet Availability in New Orleans, LA

New Orleans residents can get home internet service from different providers, but shopping for internet around here isn’t as daunting as that might make it seem. Your choice is likely to come down to two major providers: Cox, which offers cable internet, and AT&T, which offers fiber and IPBB (similar to DSL) internet options.

No matter where you live in New Orleans, you’re certain to be able to sign up for one of Cox’s internet plans or bundles. Cox is available in 98.7% of New Orleans.

Where you live will matter more, however, with AT&T. We recommend that you focus on AT&T Fiber plans, but the company’s fiber network is only available in certain parts of the city.

AT&T Fiber is available in some spots within the busy and touristy French Quarter, as well as a few blocks in Mid-City and across the Mississippi on Algiers Point. The Garden District and West Riverside are well covered, as are areas to the north and east of Tulane University, including the Uptown Historic District and the Broadmoor area.

The most complete coverage in the city is in Lakeview, to the west of New Orleans City Park. With some exceptions, availability isn’t quite as good in Gentilly.

New Orleans East has relatively poor fiber availability. In neighborhoods like Seabrook and West Lake Forest, you’ll probably have to choose between DSL plans and Cox cable internet plans. The exceptions here are two spots near Joe W. Brown Park: one to the southwest of the park (just below the hospital) and one to the southeast of the park.
