Internet providers measured in Georgia, ranked by speed

Median real-world speeds for the 11 fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Georgia, fastest first. These are the speeds their customers measured, not advertised plan speeds, and not a statement of who can be bought at a given address.

10 Windstream 126.8 51.5 24 ms 500+
11 Starlink 16.3 10.5 35 ms 250+

Starlink is a satellite service: a single browser stream over a link with a long round trip measures well below the figures satellite operators quote, and the latency column shows why.

Measured in Georgia and named rather than ranked: T-Mobile US, Verizon. In Georgia each of these is the operator's mobile network rather than a wired home line, and a browser test cannot tell a phone from a 5G home gateway on the same network. Ranking them beside fibre and cable would compare two different products.

Also measured, with too few connections for a median we would stand behind: EPB, Hargray, TDS Telecom.

Internet in Georgia: what the data shows

In Georgia, the median real-world download speed is 151.0 Mbps, 4% above the median published state of 145.6 Mbps, ranking #15 of the 39 states and districts with enough data to publish.

Georgia's leader at 308.8 Mbps is the second-fastest provider row we publish anywhere.

Uploads median 42.0 Mbps and latency 27 ms.

Mobile tests run about 1.1× faster than desktop, and mobile is 29% of tests.

Across the 11 fixed providers with enough connections to rank here, medians run from 308.8 Mbps (Google Fiber) down to 16.3 Mbps (Starlink), an 18.9× spread inside one state. Which network reaches an address matters more here than which state the address is in.

The Georgia sample carries enough tests to name 16 providers, 38 counties and 61 cities and localities. Atlanta was its most-used test server, taking 83% of the tests among the five busiest.

Figures are medians of 25k+ browser-based tests from 10k+ distinct connections, first half of 2026. Each connection counts at most three times, third-party sources are capped, and datacenter networks are excluded, so one busy line cannot move a state. That makes these numbers a different series from the national figure on the United States page, and they are not directly comparable to it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average internet speed in Georgia?

The median real-world download speed in Georgia is 151.0 Mbps, with 42.0 Mbps upload and 27 ms latency, measured from 25k+ browser-based speed tests on SpeedOf.Me.

Where does Georgia rank among US states?

Georgia ranks #15 of the 39 states and districts we publish, 4% above the median published state. We publish a state only where at least 2,000 distinct connections back the number, so 12 of the 51 are not listed at all.

Why is this lower than the speed my provider advertises?

An advertised speed is the maximum the line can carry. This is a real-world measurement through a browser to neutral servers on the open internet, which is what a video call, a download or a game actually gets. Wi-Fi, the device and time of day all sit between the two.

Which internet provider is fastest in Georgia?

Of the fixed home internet providers with at least 100 distinct connections in Georgia, Google Fiber has the highest median real-world download speed at 308.8 Mbps, ahead of Conexon Connect at 284.2 Mbps. That is the median its customers measured here, not an advertised plan speed, and a provider is only as fast as the line that reaches your address.

Which internet providers were measured in Georgia?

16 providers had enough tests in Georgia to name: AT&T, Comcast, Conexon Connect, Cox, EPB, Google Fiber, Hargray, Mediacom, Spectrum, Starlink, T-Mobile US, TDS Telecom, Verizon, Vyve Broadband, Windstream, WOW!. 11 of them carry a ranked median speed on this page: the rest are either a carrier's mobile network in Georgia rather than a wired home line, or below the 100 distinct connections we require before publishing a median. That list is not a market-share estimate or a statement of who can be bought at a given address.

Are speeds on phones lower than on computers in Georgia?

Tests run on phones and tablets, over home Wi-Fi or a cellular connection, are 29% of the Georgia sample and median 162.5 Mbps. Tests run on desktops and laptops, which are almost always on a fixed line's Wi-Fi, median 147.6 Mbps. This is a device comparison, not a comparison of providers.
