What is the best internet provider in Lawrenceville?
AT&T is a leading internet service provider in the greater Atlanta area, including the nearby suburb of Lawrenceville, where AT&T Fiber is the best choice for home internet. AT&T Fiber offers the fastest internet speeds in Lawrenceville, up to 5,000 megabits per second, and is the only major wired provider in the area to offer unlimited data and free equipment rental with no contracts.
While they don’t necessarily have the same speed potential and perks as AT&T Fiber, Spectrum and Xfinity are also top choices for internet in Lawrenceville. Spectrum has better availability, while Xfinity has the cheapest internet plan, with service starting at $20 monthly for download speeds up to 75Mbps.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the big cable and fiber internet providers, fixed wireless service from T-Mobile Home Internet or Verizon 5G Home Internet may be an option. Verizon has a faster speed potential, but T-Mobile Home Internet has far better availability in Lawrenceville. Both providers offer an exclusive discount for qualifying mobile customers.

Best internet in Lawrenceville, Georgia
Speed range
300 – 5,000Mbps
Price range
$55 – $250 per month
Our take – AT&T Fiber is available to around half of Lawrenceville households, offering a selection of plans with speeds ranging from 300 to 5,000Mbps. It’s not the outright cheapest internet service, but the free equipment, unlimited data and no set price increases make it arguably the best value.
Our take – Spectrum keeps things simple with unlimited data, no contracts, a free modem and a low (optional) router rental fee of $5 per month. While more plan options would be nice — 500Mbps and gig service are the two choices in Lawrenceville — Spectrum Internet is worth considering for high-speed, straightforward broadband service.
Our take – You won’t get blazing-fast speeds with T-Mobile Home Internet (downloads range from 72 to 245Mbps), but the low cost and zero hassles may be worth the speed sacrifice. It’s priced at $50 monthly ($30 for qualifying mobile customers), which is good for as long as you keep your service. There are no equipment fees, data caps or contracts.
Our take – Xfinity plans are a bit more complicated than Spectrum’s, as some may include equipment at no extra cost or require a one- or two-year contract to get the lowest pricing. Still, Xfinity is the go-to for cheap internet in Lawrenceville. Along with offering the cheapest internet plan in Lawrenceville, Xfinity presents a variety of competitively priced plan options.

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you’re looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you’ll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here’s an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines — and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.
0 to 5Mbps allows you to tackle the basics — browsing the internet, sending and receiving email, streaming low-quality video.
5 to 40Mbps gives you higher-quality video streaming and videoconferencing.
40 to 100Mbps should give one user sufficient bandwidth to satisfy the demands of modern telecommuting, video streaming and online gaming.
100 to 500Mbps allows one to two users to simultaneously engage in high-bandwidth activities like videoconferencing, streaming and online gaming.
500 to 1,000Mbps allows three or more users to engage in high-bandwidth activities at the same time.
How CNET chose the best internet providers in Lawrenceville
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. So what’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information, drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.
But it doesn’t end there. We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
Does the provider offer access to reasonably fast internet speeds?
Do customers get decent value for what they’re paying?
Are customers happy with their service?
While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, though we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports.
