Athens Residential Internet Coverage

Just north of the southern West Virginia border is Athens, a small city with fewer than 1,000 residents. High speed Internet is a top priority in small cities like Athens, since it helps residents stay connected, explore opportunities, and entertain themselves. Several large Internet service providers have substantial networks in this region.

Suddenlink Communications is a reliable and affordable option for many living in the Athens area. Service reaches the entire city, and coverage is also accessible in communities to the north, south, east, and west.

Lumos Networks offers coverage to a handful of areas in Athens. Service is primarily available in pockets of southern Athens, although some far eastern neighborhoods are also in the Lumos Networks coverage area.

Another expansive option in Athens is Xfinity. Through this national cable company, most of southern and western Athens can access cable at a variety of speeds. Plans cover a wide range of budgets and usage habits.
