Find internet providers in Savannah, GA
Find internet offered in Savannah, GA – 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 Savannah, GA, your best bet is AT&T, whose overall footprint covers ~77% of the city, and whose fiber offers FCC-filed speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. That fastest fiber tier reaches ~18% of the city. Xfinity is the main alternative at 97.8% city coverage, though its network reaches up to 1200/35 Mbps across ~76% and up to 2000/300 Mbps across ~22%. Xfinity leads Savannah Historic District and Ardsley Park; Southside (31406) has LiveOak Fiber at 19.1%, while AT&T fiber reaching up to 5,000 Mbps covers 11.0% there. ZIP 31403 is cable-heavy, with Xfinity reaching up to 1200/35 Mbps across 80.6%, while ZIP 31408 has 62.9% on the tier reaching up to 2000/300 Mbps. ZIP 31404 is more mixed near Savannah State University, while Starland District, Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia Southern University Armstrong Campus, South University, Savannah, and Hunter Army Airfield deserve address checks because student apartments differ and older buildings may rely on DSL or copper. Budget fixed wireless is worth a look: T-Mobile reaches up to 100/20 Mbps across ~40% of the city and Verizon up to 300/20 Mbps across ~49%; coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Savannah
At $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo, AT&T Fiber 1 GIG buys up to 1000 Mbps both ways and a Speed Score of 91/100, making it a top-tier option above Savannah’s city average of 74. This plan is available to 22.3% of the city, so check your address because AT&T may instead offer Internet Air, a fixed wireless service with up to 300 Mbps both ways and a Speed Score of 77/100, which can perform differently from fiber.
About AT&T
AT&T offers strong value, from $35/mo for the first 12 months for up to 300 Mbps both ways on fiber to $95/mo for the first 12 months for up to 5,000 Mbps both ways, then $135/mo. Fiber is an excellent choice but address-dependent, with the 1 GIG plan available to 22.3% of the city and the 5 GIG plan to 17.6%; elsewhere, Internet Air costs $55/mo promotional, then $60/mo, for up to 300 Mbps both ways, though fixed wireless can be less consistent, so check your address for fiber first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Savannah
Xfinity’s 1 Gig plan is available to 97.7% of Savannah, giving most households a strong chance of getting service. With up to 1000 Mbps download, 35 Mbps upload, and an 87/100 Speed Score above the city average of 74, it is a top-tier option over fiber and a solid option over cable. Because the plans can use either Fiber/Cable technology, confirm which connection type reaches your address, since the best performance may not be available at every home.
About Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 97.8% of Savannah, giving most households a good chance of getting service. Its Fiber/Cable plans offer excellent speeds for modern needs, including up to 1200 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up, but the exact connection type is address-dependent, so check your address to confirm which option is available and review the higher price after the first 12 months.

Our recommendation for Savannah
ClearWave is a top-tier option where its fiber service is available. Its fastest plan offers up to 7,000 Mbps download and 7,000 Mbps upload with a 99/100 Speed Score, but that tier reaches 4.2% of Savannah, so verify availability at your address. ClearWave also lists up to 1,000 Mbps both ways with a 91/100 Speed Score, providing excellent fiber performance when the fastest tier is not available.
About ClearWave
ClearWave is an excellent choice for demanding internet use where its fiber is available, but you should check your address because coverage is limited. Its plans offer up to 7000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 99/100 in 4.2% of census blocks, or up to 1000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 91/100 in 8.0%, so availability depends heavily on the address.

Because 5G fixed wireless availability and performance can vary by address, check whether service is available at your home, as both plans reach 64.9% of the city.
About T-Mobile
T-Mobile suits households that want reasonably fast, affordable internet for streaming, work, and everyday use, with All-In Home Internet offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $70/mo promotional, then $80/mo, or Rely offering up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload for $50/mo promotional, then $60/mo.

About Starlink

Starlink covers 100.0% of Savannah and offers plans with up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, though you should check for fiber or cable at your address first because those technologies generally provide a better everyday experience.

Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless service can support everyday streaming, browsing, and work, with plans offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload. The 5G Home Plus plan scores 78/100, above Savannah’s city average of 74, making it a competitive fixed-wireless option, though performance can vary with location and network conditions. It is available to 49.8% of Savannah, so confirm your address before choosing it or the 5G Home plan, which offers up to 300 Mbps download, 75 Mbps upload, and a 77/100 Speed Score.

Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless service is an adequate choice for everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, with 5G Home Plus offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload for $45/mo promotional, then $70/mo, and 5G Home offering up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload for $35/mo promotional, then $60/mo. Because these are fixed wireless plans rather than fiber or cable, performance can vary with signal and congestion, and availability is address-dependent at 49.8% of Savannah, so check your address and look for fiber or cable first if you need consistently strong service for heavy uploads or many simultaneous users.

At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, Fusion buys up to 100 Mbps download and up to 5 Mbps upload, yet its 35/100 Speed Score is below Savannah’s city average of 74. Fusion is available to 100.0% of Savannah, but satellite’s higher latency and limited performance compared with alternatives make it worth checking what other providers reach your specific address before choosing it.
About HughesNet
At $39.99/mo for up to 25 Mbps, $49.99/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $94.99/mo for up to 100 Mbps, HughesNet offers broad coverage but modest value for demanding internet use, and those prices apply for the first 12 months. After 12 months, those monthly prices increase to $49.99, $74.99, and $119.99, respectively. All three satellite plans are available to 100.0% of Savannah, but satellite can be limiting for modern needs, so check your address for faster fiber or cable options first; HughesNet may make sense mainly as a fallback for basic browsing.

How We Analyze Internet in Savannah
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 Savannah report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Savannah
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

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.
