Raleigh Residential Internet Coverage

The centrally located city of Raleigh is home to many local national internet service providers. Fiber is currently growing in availability in Raleigh.

Centurylink Prism has a fiber network that covers select central and southern neighborhoods, including Hillsborough, Wade, Glenwood, and Falls of Neuse. This is the same service area for CenturyLink DSL coverage.

Through AT&T, residents and businesses have access to DSL, fiber internet, or both. Coverage is available in all of Raleigh, extending well beyond the city limits in all directions.

Frontier Communications offers high-speed coverage to a small area in northwest Raleigh, which includes the areas surrounding the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Via Time Warner Cable, any of Raleigh's neighborhoods can access speedy cable internet. Service runs through the neighborhoods of East Raleigh, Six Forks, Mordecai, and Five Points.

Lastly, the Star Telephone Membership Corporation is currently restricted to a small part of eastern Raleigh, primarily the southeastern quarter of the city.

Services offered are excellent. Xumo concept is good but the equipment is unreliable. I have to reboot at least 3 times each week. 1 gig internet delivers only approx 350 mbps.?

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.
