Frequently Asked Questions

What internet providers can I get in Atlanta?

AT&T and Xfinity are the largest internet providers in Atlanta. AT&T stretches a little farther out from the city than Xfinity, but both have coverage basically everywhere inside the beltway.

Cox Communications and Spectrum are cable internet providers that have smaller footprints than AT&T and Xfinity. EarthLink has an even smaller service area, offering fiber and DSL internet options.

Atlanta is also one of the few places that have Google Fiber . Google offers just two plans with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps.

If you live in an area outside the reach of traditional landline internet, Viasat and HughesNet are your two satellite internet options.

How much is Xfinity Internet?

Xfinity’s cable internet plans start at $20 per month and run up to $80 per month, depending on the speed you choose. Xfinity’s single fiber plan costs $299.95 per month, but it isn’t widely available.

Prices and packages vary by area, so enter your zip code below to see what’s available to you.

How do I turn off Xfinity Wi-Fi?

To disable your Xfinity Wi-Fi, do the following:

Step 1: Open a web browser and enter 10.0.0.1 in the address bar. This will take you to your router’s preferences.

Step 2: Select Disable in the Wireless Network field.

Step 3: Select Save.

To turn it back on, just repeat the process and select Enable instead.

How do I get my Xfinity modem online?

You can get your Xfinity modem online by checking out our guide to Xfinity self-installation. Just follow a few important steps, and you’ll be connected.

How can I boost the Wi-Fi signal from my Xfinity modem?

Consider a Wi-Fi extender to boost your Wi-Fi signal from your Xfinity modem. These devices can increase the range of your network, which can improve performance in dead zones or areas far from the router’s location.

How do I make my Xfinity Wi-Fi more secure?

You can make your Xfinity Wi-Fi more secure by following these tips:

Use a secure password or passphrase

Your password should include numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters. Better yet, use a passphrase that contains multiple unrelated words, like beanracooncoal, but with a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Use your firewall

Your computer and router have built-in firewalls. Turn them on if they’re disabled. The exact process varies from device to device, but it’s usually pretty easy. Ask tech support for help if you need it.

Have guests use the public Xfinity hotspot

If guests use a public hotspot, you won’t need to share your private network’s password. Plus, Xfinity Gateways broadcast a public hotspot by default, so there’s no setup necessary.

How much is AT&T Internet?

AT&T's DSL internet costs $55 per month. Its fiber internet plans range from $55 to $180 per month. Enter your zip code below to see what plans are available in your area.

What is AT&T Fiber?
