Rank score (0–100) is each provider’s Speed Score, discounted for weak upload, times the share of that ZIP it reaches — the same rule that orders providers on the Jacksonville city page, so it moves as availability changes street to street.

Which is better for…

The right pick comes down to what you actually do online.

Gaming

AT&T

AT&T wins where its fiber reaches your address, offering up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps and stronger upload capacity for multiplayer play, updates, and live streaming. Check availability before choosing it.

Streaming

AT&T

AT&T is the stronger choice where available because its fiber can reach up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps, leaving more room for multiple 4K streams. Xfinity is the practical alternative when AT&T fiber is unavailable.

Video calls

AT&T

Upload speed decides this one: AT&T offers up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps, while Xfinity offers up to 2,000/300 Mbps. Choose AT&T where available for more upload headroom during calls and work-from-home use.

Just the basics

AT&T

AT&T has the lower starting price at $35/mo versus Xfinity’s $40/mo, so it is the cheaper choice if available. Check the address first, then choose the lower-cost option for everyday browsing, email, and light streaming.

How we compare. Coverage is the share of a ZIP where a provider offers a genuinely good plan (≥ 1 Gbps download, ≥ 20 Mbps upload, non-satellite), from FCC Broadband Map serviceability data. “Fastest available” ranks the providers present in a ZIP by top advertised download speed. Pricing reflects current promotional starting rates. Provider order and each ZIP’s winner follow the site’s one ranking rule (Speed Score, discounted for weak upload, times coverage); read the full methodology.
