Internet in Metairie

Moving towns or switching internet providers can be confusing and stressful. Comparing internet providers against the averages in the Metairie area can help you choose the right internet and get back to your life.

Metairie Residential Internet Coverage

Metairie is one of the largest communities in Louisiana, located just north of New Orleans along Lake Pontchartrain. Several national internet service providers bring their large networks to this city.

AT&T has a significant presence in Metairie and other Louisiana cities, providing consistent DSL coverage to the entire city. From Airline Drive in the west to Shrewsbury in the east, high-speed DSL is accessible. The fiber network is slightly smaller, which can change as AT&T builds it out in coming years.

Through Megapath, much of Metairie has access to internet at different speeds and prices. West of Lake Avenue, the entire city of Metairie has coverage. Quite a bit of the eastern part of the city also has access to the Megapath network, excluding a small area near City Park and Bucktown. Coverage resumes in the Bonnabel place area.

Finally, Charter has a small but growing cable network in the Metairie area, as well.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
