The capital of the state and the most populous city in Alabama, Birmingham has over two hundred thousand people calling it home. The city itself has seen a decrease in population as more people move into the surrounding suburbs while the metro area has exploded. It now has over a million people living in the metropolitan area with many commuting into Birmingham for work and entertainment. Even as people move out of the city center though, Birmingham's internet providers continue to update and upgrade their lines to provide high-speed connections online.
Since Birmingham is part of a vast metro area, its residents have more than a few residential internet service providers to choose from. AT&T, Spectrum, Windstream, HughesNet, and ViaSat all offer their services in the city using a mixture of cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite networks. Most of the city has coverage so whether you're in Homewood, Fairfield, Vestavia Hills, or Tarrant City, there'll be more than one provider ready to help you connect your home to the internet.
Among wired providers, Spectrum has the largest coverage area with nearly the entire city having its services available. Spectrum uses a cable network to provide its customers with a fast, reliable connection as well as a full suite of services. In addition to internet access, Spectrum also offers television and home phone service, allowing you to bundle and package the services together to match your lifestyle and budget.
If you want the absolute fastest speeds available in the area though, AT&T is going to be your best bet. AT&T's fiber service can produce lightning-fast speeds that make things like network congestion, lag, and buffering things of the past. Only a portion of AT&T's coverage area is fiber with most it currently running off of DSL. AT&T has committed though to upgrading and updating its network to keep up with the growing demand for fiber.
If neither AT&T and Spectrum are available to you, at that point satellite internet will be your best option. HughesNet and ViaSat both have city-wide service with the only requirement being a clear line of sight to the southern sky. Both companies have multiple plans to choose from making it easy to find a package that will fit you and your family.
