Savannah looks like a two-carrier town on paper, but the ground is shifting. Comcast Business owns the cable footprint, AT&T Business Fiber keeps adding downtown blocks, and Clearwave Fiber has now wired more than 15,000 area accounts and is pushing into Ardsley Park. That third option matters. It gives buyers in the Historic District and midtown a real competing quote, which is the single thing most Savannah businesses are missing when they renew. Outside the urban core, in west Savannah and along the industrial corridors, the choices thin out fast and pricing reflects it.
Savannah is mostly a Comcast and AT&T market. Comcast Business has the dominant cable footprint across the metro. AT&T Business Fiber covers a growing share of commercial blocks downtown. T-Mobile fixed wireless is widely available with strong coverage across coastal Georgia.
The pricing problem in Savannah is the assumption that Comcast is the only real choice. They often are the right answer, but never the cheapest one without a competing quote.
Savannah's commercial historic spine
Savannah's commercial demand sits in three places. The Historic District, the squares-and-grid core that anchors the city's daytime workforce, holds the legal, financial, and hospitality tenancy alongside the bulk of the metro's smaller Class A and adaptive-reuse office stock. The Starland District, the redeveloped commercial pocket south of Forsyth Park, has filled in with creative-office, restaurant, and small business tenancy over the past decade. The Savannah Chatham Manufacturing Center, the city-managed industrial park in west Savannah, anchors a deep concentration of manufacturing, logistics, and back-office tenancy outside the urban core. Gulfstream Aerospace, which keeps its worldwide headquarters in Savannah, and Memorial Health University Medical Center, the 612-bed regional referral hospital, are two of the largest commercial accounts in the metro and drive heavy enterprise telecom demand.
On June 5, 2025, Clearwave Fiber said it was continuing its Savannah expansion after already connecting more than 15,000 Savannah-area residential and business customers, with new investment extending service into Ardsley Park and nearby areas, putting another fiber-to-the-building competitor on the city's commercial blocks. One pricing wrinkle: Savannah offers Enterprise Zone property tax abatements along priority business corridors, and city-backed industrial projects in the Manufacturing Center also advertise a 100 percent Freeport exemption for qualifying manufacturing inventory, both of which can offset the local cost layer for qualifying commercial occupancy.
What you should be paying
These are dedicated internet ranges from current carrier wholesale data, marked up to typical retail.
Savannah dedicated internet, typical retail (mid 50%)
Monthly recurring charge, dedicated internet access (DIA). Numbers are derived from current carrier wholesale quotes. Shown as a metro-tier band where city-level data is thin.
| Speed | Typical retail (mid 50%) | Sample size |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Mbps | $630 – $1,060/mo | n = 6 |
| 500 Mbps | $955 – $1,660/mo | n = 6 |
| 1 Gbps | $1,195 – $2,000/mo | n = 7 |
| 10 Gbps | $1,560 – $6,250/mo | n = 6 |
If your bill sits above the high end of the band, you are likely overpaying.
Analyze My Bill FreeFor Comcast Business coax at 600 Mbps, the fair price is $150 to $230 a month for a single office. For AT&T Business Fiber at 1 Gbps, expect $150 to $230 a month.
Carriers worth quoting in Savannah
Five carriers cover most addresses in the metro.
- Comcast Business. Coax everywhere, fiber in select buildings.
- AT&T Business Fiber. Strong commercial fiber footprint downtown.
- Crown Castle Fiber. Common in commercial buildings downtown.
- T-Mobile Business Internet. $85 a month for 200 to 300 Mbps. Useful benchmark.
- Verizon 5G Business Internet. $99 a month at 400 Mbps.
If you have not had three of these on a quote sheet, you have not run a real comparison.

Carriers worth a quote here
- Comcast Business
Dominant cable footprint across the metro, from the Historic District to Pooler and Garden City. Aggressive on broadband pricing when a fiber competitor is on the block, much less so in buildings where they know they are the only coax option.
- AT&T Business
Fiber coverage is strongest in the Historic District commercial blocks and expanding into Starland and midtown. Off-net buildings still get quoted, but expect a build cost in the NRC and a longer install timeline.
- T-Mobile Business
Fixed wireless coverage is unusually strong across coastal Georgia, which makes it a viable secondary circuit for SD-WAN failover. Not a primary for anyone running real voice or transaction traffic, but priced low enough to be worth a quote.
- Lumen Business
Present for enterprise DIA, waves, and long-haul out of Savannah, mostly serving the larger accounts at Gulfstream-adjacent and hospital campuses. More negotiable in 2025 and 2026 than they have been in years.
- Spectrum Business
Charter's coax footprint reaches parts of Chatham County that Comcast does not, particularly on the south and west edges. Pricing tracks Comcast closely, so the value is mostly as a competitive quote rather than a structurally cheaper option.
- Crown Castle Fiber
On-net in select commercial buildings and along key fiber routes through the metro. Worth checking for any multi-site customer with a downtown address, since their lit-building list is narrower than the nationals but priced competitively when it hits.

Savannah, Georgia market notes
Common questions about business internet in Savannah, Georgia
Is Comcast Business really the only option for my Savannah office?
Almost never. Comcast has the broadest coax footprint, but AT&T Business Fiber covers a growing share of downtown and midtown blocks, Clearwave Fiber is actively expanding, and T-Mobile fixed wireless works in most of the metro. Get a quote from at least one fiber carrier and one wireless carrier before you renew with Comcast.
What should I pay for 1Gbps dedicated internet in Savannah?
Plan on $1,195 to $2,000 per month for true DIA with an SLA. On-net buildings in the Historic District and along major commercial corridors sit at the lower end. Off-net builds in the Manufacturing Center or outlying industrial parks land higher, often with a one-time install charge on top.
How is Clearwave Fiber different from AT&T or Comcast in Savannah?
Clearwave is a fiber-to-the-building overbuilder, not an incumbent. They have already connected more than 15,000 area customers and are actively expanding into Ardsley Park. They tend to price more aggressively than the nationals because they need to win the building. Even if you do not switch, a Clearwave quote pulls down your renewal number.
Does Savannah's Enterprise Zone affect my internet bill?
Not directly. Enterprise Zone property tax abatements and Freeport exemptions apply to real estate and qualifying manufacturing inventory, not telecom services. They do steer where carriers prioritize fiber expansion, so a building in a priority corridor may have better long-term carrier options than an equivalent address outside one.
Can I use T-Mobile fixed wireless as my primary internet in Savannah?
For a small office with email, light cloud apps, and card processing, yes. For anything mission-critical, voice-heavy, or latency-sensitive, use it as a failover circuit behind an SD-WAN or firewall. Coastal Georgia coverage is strong, but fixed wireless still has no real SLA and weather and tower congestion can move latency around.
When is the best time to renegotiate a Savannah internet contract?
Start 90 to 120 days before your contract end date. That gives you time to get competing quotes from at least two carriers and time the renewal into a carrier's end-of-quarter or end-of-year window, which is when reps have the most room to discount. Waiting until the auto-renewal clock has triggered costs you most of your negotiating room.
