The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedWOW Internet, Cable & Phone is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,200 Mbps reaching about 70% of Montgomery. If AT&T reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 30% of the city. Where WOW does not reach, Spectrum is the safe backup, mostly cable with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 81% of Montgomery. The local picture shifts by neighborhood: WOW leads Old Cloverdale at about 48%, while AT&T fiber is close behind at about 44%.
Capitol Heights favors AT&T fiber at about 51%, and AT&T also leads 36105 at about 60%. Deer Creek is more of a split, with Troy Cablevision fiber at about 32% and WOW at about 31%, while ZIPs 36101, 36102, and 36103 lean heavily toward Troy Cablevision at about 52%. Students near Alabama State University and the other local colleges should check carefully, since apartments may have different choices and older buildings can still be stuck on DSL or copper. T-Mobile and Verizon are worth checking for fixed wireless, but confirm the exact address because coverage and technology can change street by street, especially around Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Montgomery
WOW Internet, Cable & Phone is a solid option in Montgomery, with a 74/100 Speed Score that is above the city average of 60. Its Fiber 300 plan offers up to 300 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload for $25 per month, with symmetrical speeds and availability at about 1% of the city. Because fiber availability is limited to specific addresses, check yours to confirm this plan is offered there.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About WOW Internet, Cable & Phone
WOW Internet & Cable & Phone is a strong option at eligible addresses, offering good, symmetrical fiber speeds of up to 300 Mbps for $25 per month. The Fiber 300 plan has a 74/100 speed score but is available to only about 1% of Montgomery, so check your address carefully because the provider’s broader 71.3% footprint does not mean this fiber option is available everywhere.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, so it reaches 100% of Montgomery and can provide up to 400 Mbps, but satellite latency may affect gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities. Its Residential Max 400 Mbps plan is a good option where faster wired service is unavailable, though you should check your address for fiber or cable first, since the 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans may be less suitable for busy modern households.

Satellite technology can have higher latency and more limited real-world performance than other options, so consider checking what alternatives reach your address before choosing, even though Fusion is available to 100% of Montgomery. HughesNet’s Select and Lite plans offer lower speeds and scores, at up to 50/5 Mbps with a 15/100 score and up to 25/3 Mbps with a 6/100 score, respectively.

About HughesNet
At $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 to 100 Mbps downloads, but its satellite service has below-average performance and may feel limited for modern households, especially with only up to 3 to 5 Mbps uploads. All three plans are available to 100% of Montgomery, but because HughesNet mainly offers satellite, check your address for faster fiber, cable, or other options first.

What is the cheapest internet plan in Montgomery, AL?
WOW Internet, Cable & Phone Fiber 300 is the cheapest plan at a promotional $25/mo for 300 Mbps, reaching about 1% of Montgomery. Its low price does not mean broad availability, so confirm that this specific fiber plan reaches your address.

Which internet provider is available in Old Cloverdale?
WOW reaches about 48% of Old Cloverdale, making it the leading listed provider there, while AT&T reaches about 44%. Compare the exact address because neighborhood-level shares do not guarantee that every home can order the same technology or speed.
How We Analyze Internet in Montgomery
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Montgomery report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Montgomery
How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
