Internet Availability in Greenville, South Carolina

If you’re looking for a high-speed, wired internet connection in Greenville, AT&T Fiber and Spectrum are the providers that offer it. Both companies offer decent coverage across the city, but the options available to you will depend on where you live. Here’s the neighborhoods AT&T and Spectrum cover in Greenville.

AT&T Fiber covers 45.9% of the city, so availability can be hit or miss. There’s not a lot of coverage downtown, but surrounding suburbs like North Hills, Overbrook, and Haynie Sirrine all get good coverage. Availability isn’t great in Pleasant Valley or near Haywood Mall, but some further suburbs do get coverage, like Traxler Park, Laurel Heights, and Stone Lake.

If AT&T Fiber isn’t available, the other major provider in Greenville, Spectrum, offers nearly universal coverage across the city — specifically 91.9%. The only spots where availability can be spotty are downtown and parts of West End, West Greenville, and some neighborhoods near the Greenville Downtown Airport.

While AT&T Fiber offers the fastest speeds in town and the advantages of a fiber connection, Spectrum’s superior coverage will make it the best option for many residents who don’t have AT&T available to them. Spectrum also offers speed and reliability, but if you don’t have access to either option, you will probably have access to AT&T’s slower IPBB service, which covers nearly the entire city.
