AT&T Internet 5 GIG costs $90/mo for 12 months and offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways, with a 95/100 Speed Score that is above Apex’s city average of 68, making it a top-tier option. Because AT&T also offers fixed wireless Internet Air, the fastest fiber service is address-dependent, with the 5 GIG plan available to about 50% of Apex, so verify your address before choosing.
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 AT&T
At $35 to $90 per month for the first 12 months, AT&T offers excellent value through fiber, including up to 5,000 Mbps both ways on its fastest plan and strong 1,000 Mbps and 500 Mbps options for $50 per month. Fiber is address-dependent and available to about 65% of Apex, while the fallback Internet Air plan offers up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $40 per month to about 34% of the city, so check your address for fiber first if you need reliable performance for several users, streaming, gaming, or large uploads.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Apex
Brightspeed’s up to 100 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload can handle basic browsing, streaming, and video calls, but the 21/100 Speed Score is below Apex’s city average of 68. This DSL plan has limited performance compared with alternatives, so consider checking other providers first, especially for busy households, gaming, or large downloads. It is available to about 2% of Apex, so what Brightspeed offers can depend on your specific address.

About Brightspeed
Up to 100 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload is enough for browsing, streaming, video calls, and a few connected devices, but it may feel limited for busy households or heavy uploads. This DSL option has a below-average Speed Score of 21/100 and is available to about 2% of Apex, so check your address for faster internet first, since Brightspeed’s better technology is address-dependent and this fallback may not meet modern high-demand needs.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, which reaches homes broadly but can have higher latency that affects activities like video calls, gaming, and real-time work. Its Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload for $130 per month, a good option where faster fiber or cable service is unavailable, but check your address for those technologies first because satellite may be less suitable for demanding modern use.

About HughesNet
HughesNet costs $94.99/mo for the first 12 months and then $119.99/mo for Fusion, which offers up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, while Select and Lite lower the price but also reduce speeds to up to 50 Mbps and 25 Mbps. Since these are satellite plans and Fusion has a below-average 21/100 speed score, HughesNet can work for basic connectivity, but check your address for faster fiber or cable options first, especially for streaming, gaming, or multiple users.

How We Analyze Internet in Apex
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 Apex report service availability from each provider.

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.
