When shopping for internet in Milwaukee, keep in mind that your plan might include data caps. Fiber internet providers usually include unlimited data, but cable, satellite, and fixed wireless internet providers might implement data caps, which could disrupt your speeds if you go over the monthly allotted amount.

Internet Availability in Milwaukee, WI

Broadband options in Milwaukee are pretty straightforward. The two biggest companies in town are Spectrum (a cable internet provider) and AT&T (which offers IPBB internet in some areas of Milwaukee and fiber internet in others).

The main thing to know about your internet options in Milwaukee is whether your area has access to AT&T’s fiber internet product, the aptly named AT&T Fiber. Knowing whether or not you have access to a fiber connection could mean the difference between choosing AT&T and choosing Spectrum.

AT&T Fiber availability varies quite a bit in Milwaukee, sometimes even from block to block, but certain neighborhoods are better served than others. Areas along the Fond du Lac Freeway — particular neighborhoods just north of it, like Silver Springs, Hampton Heights, and Wahl Park — have a lot of addresses covered by AT&T Fiber. Capitol Heights, just south of the freeway, doesn’t fare quite as well.

Coverage gets spottier as you get closer to Lake Michigan. By the time you reach Midtown, AT&T Fiber’s availability will vary from block to block. Downtown and in neighboring areas like the Theater District and Marquette University, you’ll likely only have access to AT&T Internet, the IPBB option.

Fiber availability improves again south of the Menomonee River, in areas like Clarke Square. Out near Euclid Park, coverage is pretty solid.
