New Orleans Residential Internet Coverage

As one of the most commonly visited cities in the United States, New Orleans relies on internet service for its businesses, retailers, residents, and tourists. Many national and local internet service providers cover all of this city, providing several options.

National fiber internet and DSL provider AT&T has an expansive service map that includes all of New Orleans, from southwestern communities like West Riverside and Audubon up to northeastern neighborhoods like Lake Catherine and Village de l_Est.

Via Megapath, nearly all of New Orleans has access to high-speed internet. The only part of the city that falls outside of the Megapath service map is the northwestern area including West End and Lakeview.

In the southwestern corner of New Orleans, Time Warner Cable serves dozens of neighborhoods, including West and East Carrollton, Black Pearl, Milan, Broadmoor, Central City, and City Park. Through the central part of New Orleans, service reaches Gentilly Woods, Desire Area, and Pontchartrain Park.

Eastern neighborhoods served by Time Warner Cable include Lake Catherine, Viavant, Venetian Isles, Little Woods, and Plum Orchard.

I'm not sure your info is up-to-date! AT&T has excellent fiber-optic coverage in many parts of New Orleans - perhaps not all though.

Itā€™s an awesome thing that ur company is doing. Almost everyone needs the internet these days. Iā€™ve been unable to work due to health problems recently so I canā€™t afford to pay for internet at the present moment. I sure hope things start to look promising for me in the near future. Thanks again for all the work your company does to keep people connected!

We've had Cox for our internet service for years and have been very pleased. We're a high usage household and we've never had problems with speed, even though we have one of the least expensive plans. Would definitely recommend.
