Fayetteville Residential Internet Coverage

With over 200,000 people, Fayetteville is one of the largest cities in North Carolina. As a result, it has access to the internet through various providers and technologies.

Consider Centurylink Prism, which is a major fiber internet provider in the United States. They offer service in areas like Falcon, Vader, and Grays Creek, although coverage stops short of Cedar Creek. Similarly, service is unavailable in the northwestern area of Skibo. The CenturyLink DSL network is much more widespread than the fiber network, extending well beyond Fayetteville city limits into neighboring areas.

Through Windstream, those in the city center and Lakedale have internet access. The network also covers some far western neighborhoods.

High-speed cable is available through Time Warner Cable, which offers service to the entirety of Fayetteville. TW rival Charter currently is restricted to the northern part of Fayetteville. Service begins in Falcon, extending to areas like Shaws, Bonnie Doone, and the city center. However, service is unavailable south of the city center.

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.
