Shreveport's internet market comes down to one question: does AT&T Fiber reach your address, or does AT&T only offer you copper? The gap between those two answers is enormous — symmetrical 5 Gig on one side, 10 to 100 Mbps DSL on the other — and AT&T sells both under the same brand.
Fiber availability in Shreveport is genuinely good where it exists. Roughly 63% of the city has AT&T fiber available, and about 56% of residents can order the full 5 Gig tier. South Highlands (71104) and Broadmoor (71105) are the strongest fiber neighborhoods — if you're there, AT&T Fiber is almost certainly the right answer. Fiber speeds tend to be fastest in central Shreveport and slowest in the northwest.
Xfinity is the widest wired network, covering somewhere between 83% and 93% of the city depending on the source. Its footprint reaches parts of Highland and Broadmoor in the east, stopping short of the eastern city limits, and runs west toward Yarborough and Pinecroft, extending past the boundary. For addresses where AT&T offers only DSL, Xfinity cable is usually the better connection by a wide margin.
Three smaller operators matter locally and are routinely left off national comparison lists. Optimum serves parts of the city and competes hard on price. Sparklight offers 1 Gig cable but reaches only about 5.5% of Shreveport. NewWave Communications covers several northern areas including North Highlands, Freestate and Allendale — parts of the city where the larger networks are thinner. EarthLink also resells fiber over AT&T's network to roughly 58% of the city, which is an alternative route to the same physical connection.

Shreveport provider breakdown
AT&T
The best and the worst option in Shreveport, depending entirely on your address. AT&T Fiber is symmetrical to 5 Gig with no caps and no contract — around 63% of the city can get it and about 56% can order the top tier. But much of AT&T's remaining Shreveport footprint is older copper DSL running 10–100 Mbps. Never assume an AT&T quote is a fiber quote; ask explicitly.
Call about AT&T — (844) 457-1904Xfinity
The widest wired network in Shreveport at 83–93% coverage, running east through Highland and Broadmoor and west toward Yarborough and Pinecroft. Speeds to 2 Gig download with a free mobile line for 12 months on qualifying plans. If AT&T only offers you DSL, Xfinity is almost certainly the better connection.
Call about Xfinity — (833) 672-6777EarthLink
EarthLink resells fiber over AT&T's Shreveport network, reaching roughly 58% of the city. Same physical connection, different billing relationship, no data caps and no throttling. Worth comparing directly against AT&T's own pricing rather than assuming one is cheaper.
Call about EarthLink — (833) 841-2360Optimum
Optimum serves parts of Shreveport and competes aggressively on price, frequently with mobile-line promotions attached. Local customer feedback on speed consistency is comparatively positive. Coverage is partial, so this is an address-level check rather than a citywide option.
Call about Optimum — (833) 371-1582NewWave Communications
A smaller network covering several northern Shreveport areas including North Highlands, Freestate and Allendale. It's a meaningful option in parts of the city where the larger providers are thinner on the ground, and it rarely appears on national comparison sites.
Call about NewWave Communications — (844) 933-1065T-Mobile 5G Home
No contract, no equipment fees, and it works at addresses where the wired options are poor — which in Shreveport is a real scenario if you're stuck on DSL. Slower than fiber or cable, but often a genuine upgrade over copper.

📞 Call (844) 933-1065Choosing the best internet in Shreveport
Because the networks here divide up the city rather than competing everywhere, the right answer depends on where you live:
- You're in South Highlands (71104) or Broadmoor (71105). AT&T Fiber — this is the strongest fiber territory in the city.
- AT&T only offers you DSL. Don't take it. Xfinity cable will be substantially faster at most Shreveport addresses.
- You're in North Highlands, Freestate or Allendale. Check NewWave — it covers northern areas the big networks reach less well.
- You want fiber but not an AT&T account. EarthLink runs over the same fiber, reaching about 58% of the city.
- Wired options at your address are all poor. T-Mobile 5G Home is frequently an upgrade over Shreveport DSL.

Bundling internet in Shreveport
The strongest Shreveport bundle depends on which network serves you. AT&T's fiber-plus-wireless discount takes $20/mo off fiber for existing AT&T mobile customers and adds a reward card — the best value in the fiber neighborhoods. Xfinity's free mobile line for 12 months is the largest headline saving available across most of the city. Optimum runs mobile promotions of its own and is worth a direct comparison where it reaches. One caution specific to Shreveport: if AT&T is quoting you DSL rather than fiber, no bundle discount makes that connection worth taking. See our complete bundling guide and internet + mobile bundles.

Ask directly, because AT&T sells both here under one brand and the difference is enormous — symmetrical 5 Gig versus roughly 10 to 100 Mbps on copper. Around 63% of Shreveport can get fiber, with South Highlands (71104) and Broadmoor (71105) among the strongest areas. Call (844) 933-1065 and we'll confirm which product is actually available at your address before you order.
South Highlands (71104) and Broadmoor (71105) are the strongest, with AT&T Fiber's full 5 Gig tier widely available. Fiber speeds generally run fastest in central Shreveport and slowest in the northwest of the city. Roughly 56% of Shreveport residents can order the top 5 Gig tier.
NewWave Communications covers several northern areas including North Highlands, Freestate and Allendale — worth knowing because it's routinely omitted from national comparison sites. Xfinity and AT&T also serve parts of the north, though fiber availability thins out in the northwest.
In parts of the city, yes, though coverage estimates vary considerably between sources — from around 1% to 40% depending on the dataset. That spread usually means partial or changing coverage, so it's worth an address-level check rather than assuming either way.
AT&T Fiber opens around $34/mo where available and is the best value in the city because you get symmetrical fiber at a cable price. EarthLink runs about $39.95 over the same network. Xfinity and Optimum both start around $40. The cheapest advertised plan isn't always the best value here — a $34 fiber plan beats a $40 DSL plan comfortably.
