THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Lumberton
At $90/mo for 12 months, AT&T’s 5 GIG fiber plan offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways, plus a $150 reward card, making it strong value for households needing maximum performance. Its 95/100 Speed Score is above Lumberton’s city average of 56, so this fiber plan is a top-tier option. AT&T also offers fixed wireless at some addresses, so check availability carefully because the 5 GIG fiber plan reaches about 12% of Lumberton and may not be available at your location.

About AT&T
AT&T offers strong value, from $35/mo for up to 300 Mbps to $90/mo for up to 5,000 Mbps, with fiber plans providing excellent, symmetrical speeds and the 5 GIG plan earning a 95/100 Speed Score. Fiber availability is address-dependent, reaching about 16% of Lumberton for the 1 GIG, 500Mbps, and 300Mbps plans, while Internet Air reaches about 17% with up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, so check your address for fiber first because the fixed wireless option may be less consistent for demanding modern use.

Starlink’s satellite Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, supporting streaming, browsing, and multiple connected devices, though satellite latency can affect gaming and video calls. Its 76/100 Speed Score is above Lumberton’s city average of 56, making it a competitive satellite option, and the plan is shown as available to 100.0% of the city.

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