Internet Availability in Chattanooga, TN

Residents in Chattanooga can choose from 11 providers for reliable internet. When it comes to deciding on a provider, the choice isn’t always straightforward. Xfinity’s cable service dominates the market in the Gateway to the South with 98.0% availability. Luckily, Nooga residents have two top fiber providers: AT&T Fiber and EPB.

Native to Chattanooga, EPB features availability in the city covering both sides of the Tennessee River. For residents bordering the Georgia state line, EPB offers plenty of coverage. While AT&T Fiber offers less availability, only covering 8.9% of the city, the provider reaches out to Signal Mountain and across the river to the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. The East Ridge neighborhood also has great AT&T Fiber availability. If you live east of Collegedale, you’ll have more luck with AT&T Fiber than EPB — the latter features less coverage in that area.

For cable providers, Xfinity boasts availability from Lookout Mountain in the southern end to the border of the Possum Creek Resource Management Area. Unfortunately, downtown areas near attractions such as the Chattanooga Zoo and the University of Tennessee Chattanooga are just outside Xfinity’s service area.
