Find internet providers in Miami, FL
Find internet offered in Miami, FL – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Miami, FL, your best bet is AT&T, covering ~96% of the city; its fiber reaches ~60% of the city at speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. Xfinity is a close citywide alternative at 98.4%, though its fastest cable tier reaches ~72% of the city, so the address-level result still matters. In Brickell’s 33131, Xfinity leads at 43.8% on cable, while Hotwire has 26.8% on fiber, showing how buildings differ. ZIP 33132 is more Xfinity-heavy at 60.6%, while ZIP 33101 is 85.4% Xfinity and ZIP 33116 is entirely Xfinity cable, with no fiber listed. In ZIP 33122, AT&T fiber leads at 54.0%, ahead of Xfinity’s 37.5%; Coconut Grove, Little Havana, and Wynwood can vary by building. Students near Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus and Florida International University Modesto A. Maidique Campus should check for copper in older apartments, since Zoom, streaming, and gaming need reliability. For a budget-minded terrestrial alternative, T-Mobile licensed fixed wireless reaches ~42% of the city at up to 100/20 Mbps, while Verizon reaches ~50% at up to 300/20 Mbps. Coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address and technology before signing up.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Miami
At $95/mo for the first 12 months, then $135/mo, AT&T Fiber 5 GIG buys up to 5000 Mbps down and 5000 Mbps up, earning a 97/100 Speed Score and making it a top-tier option for demanding households. That score is above the city average of 76, while the $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo AT&T Fiber 1 GIG plan offers up to 1000 Mbps both ways with a 90/100 score for a lower-cost balance. Availability depends on the address: Fiber 5 GIG is available to 60.1% of Miami, and some addresses may instead qualify for AT&T Internet Air, fixed wireless with up to 300 Mbps both ways and a 76/100 score, so verify the technology offered before choosing.
About AT&T
AT&T offers strong value here: $35/mo gets you up to 300 Mbps over fiber, while $50/mo gets you up to 1,000 Mbps both ways for the first 12 months, then those prices rise to $60/mo and $90/mo. Fiber is the standout, with these plans available to 75.3% of Miami, but availability is address-dependent, and the fallback Internet Air plan offers up to 300 Mbps for $55/mo, then $60/mo, over fixed wireless, which is more adequate than fiber and can have performance issues.

Xfinity reaches 98.4% of Miami, giving many shoppers a strong chance of finding service at their address. Its top Speed Score of 93/100 is above the city average of 76, and the fastest plan offers up to 2000 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload, making it a competitive choice for demanding households. Because the plans may use fiber or cable depending on the address, fiber is a top-tier option while cable is a reliable choice, so confirm which technology is available before signing up.
About Xfinity

Our recommendation for Miami
Budget-conscious households needing adequate everyday performance may find T-Mobile’s 5G fixed wireless service a practical fit, with Rely offering up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $50/mo promotional pricing, while All-In reaches up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $70/mo promotional pricing. Both plans have a Speed Score of 76/100, about the same as Miami’s city average, but fixed wireless can be less consistent than wired connections and these plans are available to 64.2% of the city, so verify your address before choosing.
About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is best suited to households that need reasonably fast everyday internet at a moderate price, with 5G fixed wireless offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $70/mo promotional, or up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $50/mo promotional. Because fixed wireless is adequate rather than excellent, and these plans are available to 64.2% of Miami, check your address and compare fiber or cable first when available, particularly if your home depends on highly consistent performance for gaming, large uploads, or many simultaneous users.

Satellite internet offers broad reach, but its higher latency can make video calls, gaming, and other real-time activities less responsive than wired connections. Starlink’s Residential – Max plan provides up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, with a Speed Score of 69/100, below the city average of 76, and availability to 100.0% of the city. Because satellite has more limited performance than other technologies, check which connections are available at your specific address before choosing it.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad availability, reaching 100.0% of Miami, with plans offering up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for everyday browsing, streaming, and remote work. Its higher latency can be frustrating for gaming and some video calls, so check your address for fiber or cable first, since Starlink is best as a fallback where faster wired service is unavailable.

Miami Internet FAQs
What is the fastest internet provider in Miami?
Hotwire Communications lists the fastest service, 8,000/8,000 Mbps, but its cable network reaches only 1.5% of Miami. Check your address before choosing it, because the fastest technology has a much smaller footprint than provider options with broader city coverage.
Can I get fiber internet in Brickell?
Yes—Brickell's 33131 data lists Hotwire Communications fiber at 26.8% and AT&T fiber at 10.2%. Availability is address-specific, so confirm which network reaches your building instead of assuming every fiber plan is available throughout Brickell.
What's the cheapest internet plan in Miami?
AT&T Fiber 300 is Miami's cheapest listed plan at a promotional starting rate of $35/mo for 300 Mbps, reaching 75.3% of the city. Verify your address because this plan reaches 75.3% of Miami, so its price and speed are not available at every address.
What internet speed do I need for a Miami household?
For a busy Miami household, 1,000 Mbps is a strong listed target: AT&T Fiber 1 GIG (1,000 Mbps) reaches 75.3%, while Xfinity 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps) reaches 95.5%. Lighter households can consider 300 Mbps tiers, but each plan's availability remains address-specific rather than matching its provider's total footprint.
Is Xfinity available in Brickell, Miami?
Yes—Xfinity's 2 Gig cable tier reaches 43.8% of Brickell's 33131 ZIP, while Hotwire fiber reaches 26.8%. That makes Xfinity the leading listed provider there, but building-level verification remains essential before selecting a speed tier.
How We Analyze Internet in Miami
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
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Miami report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Miami
How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
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.
