The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedSpectrum is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 90% of High Point. If Lumos reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 79% of the city.
Lumos is the clear local winner in ZIP 27263, reaching about 93%, and it covers about 87% of Emerywood and about 80% of Adams Farm with that top fiber tier. In ZIP 27260, including the Guilford Technical Community College High Point Campus area, Lumos reaches about 79%, while Spectrum is much less common there, so student apartments may have a very different menu than nearby homes. High Point University students should also watch for older copper or DSL infrastructure, especially in buildings where fiber has not yet been installed, since reliable Zoom, streaming, and gaming connections matter more than a headline speed. Deep River Plantation and Oak Hollow can still vary street by street, with fixed wireless worth checking where wired service is limited. Verizon fixed wireless reaches about 53% of the city with speeds up to 300/20 Mbps, while T-Mobile reaches about 36% with speeds up to 100/20 Mbps, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for High Point
Spectrum’s headline plan offers up to 1,000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, enough for multiple simultaneous 4K streams, gaming, video calls, and large downloads. Its 79/100 Speed Score is above High Point’s 63 average, making this cable service a solid, reliable choice, while the 500 Mbps plan also scores well at 76/100. Exact availability depends on your address, with these plans listed for about 90% of the city, and the 100 Mbps option is a more limited performer at 21/100.
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 Spectrum
Spectrum’s up to 1 Gig cable plan is a good fit for busy households, supporting streaming, video calls, gaming, and many connected devices, with good overall performance. Cable service is available to about 90% of High Point on this plan, but availability is address-dependent, so check your exact location, especially if you need the fastest speeds; the 500 Mbps and 100 Mbps options are also available where offered, though the 100 Mbps plan may feel limited for heavier modern use.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for High Point
Lumos’s up to 5000 Mbps fiber plan reaches about 79% of High Point, giving many households access to an excellent, top-tier option with a Speed Score of 95/100 and symmetrical speeds up to 5000 Mbps. Availability is address-dependent, since some locations may instead receive the 1000/1000 Mbps fiber plan, rated 79/100, or copper service up to 10/1 Mbps, rated 1/100. At copper-served addresses, consider checking other providers first because performance is limited compared with alternatives.

About Lumos
Lumos reaches 82.3% of High Point, giving you a good chance of finding service at your address. Its best option is fiber with up to 5000 Mbps both ways, an excellent choice for nearly any household, but availability is address-dependent, and the fallback copper plan offers only up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, which may not be sufficient for modern streaming, work, or multiple connected devices.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for High Point
For $90/mo for 12 months, AT&T’s 5 GIG Fiber plan offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways and includes a $150 reward card, making it a top-tier option for demanding households. Its 95/100 Speed Score is above the High Point average of 63, but the 5 GIG plan is available to about 2% of the city, so the best fiber technology may not reach your address. Where available, AT&T Fiber is an excellent choice, while addresses served by Internet Air should weigh its up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload speeds against other options.
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&T offers strong value where its fiber is available: $35/mo gets you up to 300 Mbps both ways, while $50/mo can provide up to 1,000 Mbps both ways and $90/mo reaches up to 5,000 Mbps, all with excellent performance. Fiber availability is address-dependent and reaches about 3% of High Point, while AT&T Internet Air covers about 1% with up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, so check your address for fiber first because the fixed-wireless fallback may be less suitable for demanding modern use.

That makes it a solid option for demanding households, while the $39.99/mo Fiber 300 Mbps plan offers up to 300 Mbps both ways and a 71/100 score for better value.

Our recommendation for High Point
Up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload can handle 4K streaming, online gaming, and many connected devices at once. Brightspeed’s fiber plan is a good, competitive choice, with a Speed Score of 79 compared with the city’s 63 average, though it reaches about 0% of High Point. Availability depends on your address, and where only the copper plan is available, up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload has a Speed Score of 1, so consider checking other providers first for better performance.

About Brightspeed
Brightspeed’s top option is fiber with up to 1000 Mbps both ways, which is excellent for streaming, video calls, gaming, and households with many connected devices. That service reaches about 0% of census blocks, so it is highly address-dependent, while the available copper fallback tops out at 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up and may only be adequate for basic browsing, so check for fiber or another faster provider first.

These satellite plans have below-average performance, including Fusion’s 21/100 Speed Score, so check your address for fiber or cable first, since HughesNet is best treated as a broadly available fallback for basic browsing rather than a strong choice for modern, high-demand internet use.

How We Analyze Internet in High Point
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 High Point 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.
