Durham Residential Internet Coverage

The northern city of Durham lies near the border that North Carolina shares with Virginia. With over 250,000 residents, this growing metropolis has many national and local internet service companies that bring consistent coverage to residents and businesses.

Through Centurylink Prism, a small part of Durham can access fiber internet. This network is expanding, but currently serves the southwestern neighborhoods of Blands and Farrington. CenturyLink has an identical DSL network.

AT&T offers both fiber coverage and DSL coverage to Durham. Some places have access to one or the other, while others fall within both networks. AT&T service is primarily available in the outer edges of Durham; central neighborhoods like Joyland, Oak Grove, and Gorman are not in the AT&T network. However, AT&T does bring internet to outlying neighborhoods like Rougemont, Fox Run, Huckleberry Spring, and Bethesda.

National provider Frontier Communications has a huge service area that reaches the entirety of Durham. The same is true for Time Warner Cable, one of the largest cable providers in this area.

Tameika H | 08-16-2023

The customer service is terrible rude and need training on effective listening. Iā€™m unsure why customer service is in their feelings. I subscribe to Spectrum 2017 for TV/internet/phone. I have had constant outages (in out) for months. Spectrum service have and continue unable to fix the multiple problems. From nationwide outages to service outage every other day . We was told we would get a credit and you will not believe it was 2.69. WHAT A JOKE . So they sent me a text email about applying a credit and get this they never applied it until I called today about and all I got was Iā€™m apologize for the credit not being applied from two statements. I had to pay extra money for services had to buy outside of my spectrum services, because I still had to work and couldnā€™t because of spectrum outage. I told them I need a full month credit. They only came up with 114.01 for services that was out over 4 weeks. All this money I pay, what a shame. Im leaving this company for good . Customer sucks, management is terrible, and the value of the customer is a joke. I requested a month of services because itā€™s justified based on my experience, how long Iā€™ve been with this company, and all these outages. I think The FCC need to look at this Practices and the amount we paying for services not rendered . Thatā€™s next up . Run from Spectrum itā€™s not worth your money!

Maria M | 02-22-2022

been a customer with TWC/Spectrum for over 20 years, and they are prices are very high compared to competition. they would not come down in price on my current package, would only reduce monthly fee but removing features from my package. internet is spotty on many occasions, and cable rarely allow me to watch programs, and it would be not available at that time. If you can get internet/cable with another company, I highly suggest. They do not care about customer loyalty
