Wilmington Residential Internet Coverage

Wilmington is one of the largest metropolitan areas of North Carolina, and its visitors and residents rely on high-speed internet for many business and internet purposes. A select group of national internet service providers are present in Wilmington, North Carolina.

AT&T supplies high-speed DSL service to most of Wilmington, with a service area running from Vineyard Plantation in the north to Tanbridge Park in the south.

In addition, a handful of coastal neighborhoods have cable supplied by Charter. These neighborhoods include Laurel Lea, Porters Neck Plantation, and Bayshore. Charter service is limited to coastal cities in the central part of the city, so service doesn_t stretch far into the northern and southern reaches of the city.

Time Warner Cable has a competitive service area. This provider's coverage area reaches neighborhoods like Marsh Oaks, Bayshore Estates, Middle Point, Covil Estates, and Lucia Point, as well as far north and far south neighborhoods.

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.
