Find internet providers in Shreveport, LA
Find internet offered in Shreveport, LA – 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 Shreveport, LA, your best bet is AT&T, covering ~79% of the city; where its fiber is available, it reaches up to 5,000 Mbps, and that fiber footprint is ~32% of the city. Xfinity is a close citywide alternative at 82.6% overall, but its up to 2,000 Mbps cable tier reaches ~14% of the city, while its up to 1,200 Mbps tier reaches ~68%. In 71101, Xfinity leads with 66.6% of the ZIP, while AT&T fiber appears at 18.5%. Highland (71104) and Broadmoor (71105) strongly favor AT&T fiber, at 67.5% and 71.5%, respectively, while South Highlands (71106) is more competitive at 45.4% AT&T and 34.0% Xfinity. Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport sits in 71103, where Xfinity takes 84.2% on cable reaching up to 1,200 Mbps, so students should watch for older copper lines. Students at Louisiana State University Shreveport, Centenary College of Louisiana, and Southern University at Shreveport need reliable connections for Zoom, streaming, and gaming, and Spring Lake addresses can vary by building. For a budget-minded alternative, fixed wireless from Verizon, T-Mobile, or Nextlink is worth checking, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before signing up.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Shreveport
Xfinity’s 1 Gig plan is available to 81.9% of Shreveport, so most, but not all, addresses have a reasonable chance of getting it. With speeds up to 1,000 Mbps download and up to 35 Mbps upload, plus a Speed Score of 86/100 above the city average of 72, it is a strong choice for busy households. Because the plan may use fiber or cable, confirm the technology at your address: fiber is a top-tier option, while cable is a solid and reliable choice.
About Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 82.6% of Shreveport, so it is a realistic option for many local shoppers. Its fiber and cable plans offer excellent choices, with up to 1200 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, but the exact technology and plan availability are address-dependent, so check your address before signing up.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Shreveport
Satellite internet can extend service to hard-to-reach homes and support everyday browsing and streaming, but higher latency can make gaming and real-time video calls less responsive. Starlink’s plans have a 72/100 Speed Score, about the same as the city average of 72, with choices from up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload for $55/mo to up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo. Each listed plan shows 100.0% availability in Shreveport, but confirm service at your exact address and check other available technologies first if low latency or more consistent performance is important.
About Starlink
Satellite internet can support everyday browsing, streaming, and remote work, but its higher latency may be noticeable for fast-paced gaming and some video calls. Starlink is a strong availability option in Shreveport, with plans available to 100.0% of the city and speeds up to 400 Mbps, with lower-priced options offering up to 200 Mbps for $85/mo or up to 100 Mbps for $55/mo. If fiber or cable is available at your address, compare it first for lower latency and more consistent performance, but Starlink is a practical choice where those options are not available.

The All-In plan offers up to 498↓/55↑ Mbps, but both plans use fixed wireless, which can be less consistent than wired service. Availability is address dependent, with these plans listed for 55.3% of the city, so verify your address and compare available technologies before signing up.
About T-Mobile
Households needing reliable everyday streaming, video calls, and work-from-home service may find T-Mobile a good fit, with 5G fixed wireless plans offering up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload or up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload, both rated 78/100 for speed. This is an adequate fixed wireless option rather than a top-tier wired connection, and availability reaches 55.3% of Shreveport, so check your address and compare fiber or cable first if available, especially for heavy simultaneous use.

The plans cost $45/mo promotional rate, then $70/mo for 5G Home Plus, or $35/mo promotional rate, then $60/mo for 5G Home, and are available to 60.4% of Shreveport, so check your address because signal and congestion can affect fixed wireless performance.

Our recommendation for Shreveport
Up to 1,000 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload can comfortably support multiple 4K streams, large downloads, video calls, and online gaming. Nextlink’s fixed wireless service has a Speed Score of 79, above Shreveport’s average top speed score of 72, but fixed wireless can be less consistent than wired connections. That top tier is listed across just 0.5% of the city, so check your address because the speeds and plan available to you may differ.
About Nextlink
Nextlink’s fastest plan offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload, enough for busy households with streaming, video calls, gaming, and large uploads, but this fixed wireless option reaches only 0.5% of Shreveport census blocks. The up to 500 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload plan is available across 42.6% of census blocks and should handle most everyday needs, though fixed wireless can be less consistent than fiber or cable, so check your address for the faster tiers before settling for a lower-speed option.

Our recommendation for Shreveport
At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 34/100 Speed Score is BELOW Shreveport’s city average of 72. As a satellite service, it has limited performance and higher latency than fiber or cable, so check which other technologies reach your address before choosing it; Fusion is available to 100.0% of Shreveport.
About HughesNet
At $39.99/mo for the first 12 months, HughesNet’s Lite plan buys up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, while Select costs $49.99/mo for the first 12 months for up to 50/5 Mbps and Fusion costs $94.99/mo for the first 12 months for up to 100/5 Mbps, making the value limited for demanding households. All three satellite plans are available to 100.0% of Shreveport, but their Speed Scores range from 1 to 34, so satellite latency and speeds may not be enough for modern streaming, gaming, or multiple users. Check your address for fiber or cable first, and consider HughesNet mainly as a fallback where faster service is unavailable.

Its best plan, Viasat Essentials, offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload, with a Speed Score of 6/100, below the city average of 72, and is listed as available to 100.6% of the city. Check your address for other available technologies, especially if you need stronger performance for streaming, gaming, or multiple users.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat is best treated as a fallback in Shreveport, not a first choice for modern internet needs, because its satellite service reaches up to 55 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up and has a Speed Score of 6/100. The faster Viasat Essentials plan costs $69.99/mo, while Viasat Unleashed is slower at up to 34 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up for $99.99/mo, so check your address for fiber or cable first, since satellite can be limiting for video calls, gaming, and other demanding uses.

Shreveport Internet FAQs
What's the fastest internet provider in Shreveport?
AT&T offers Shreveport's fastest listed speed, 5,000 Mbps, through Fiber 5 GIG reaching 32.5% of the city. That is a limited footprint in Shreveport, so compare address-level fiber availability with Xfinity's 1,200 Mbps plan reaching 81.9% citywide.
Can I get fiber in Highland, Shreveport?
Yes—AT&T fiber is listed at 67.5% in ZIP 71104, the Highland area. Check the exact address because citywide AT&T fiber-plan reach varies by plan, with AT&T Fiber 300 reaching 35.6% of the city overall.
What is the cheapest internet plan in Shreveport?
The cheapest listed plan is Sparklight 300 Mbps Internet at a promotional starting rate of $24.95/mo for 300 Mbps, reaching 5.5% of the city. It is the city's minimum price, but availability is limited to the listed Sparklight footprint, so confirm the address before ordering.
How much internet speed do I need for a Shreveport household?
300 Mbps is a practical baseline: Xfinity's 300 Mbps plan reaches 81.9% of Shreveport, while AT&T Fiber 300 reaches 35.6%. Choose higher listed tiers for heavier simultaneous use, but verify that the specific tier reaches your address before subscribing.
What internet options are listed in Downtown Shreveport?
ZIP 71101 lists Xfinity cable at 66.6% and 13.0%, plus AT&T fiber at 18.5% in Downtown Shreveport. Xfinity is the leading listed provider there, but check your address because ZIP-level entries do not guarantee service at every location.
How We Analyze Internet in Shreveport
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 Shreveport report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Shreveport
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.

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.
