Best internet providers in Dublin, Ohio

Our top internet providers in Dublin, Ohio, are AT&T, Spectrum, and Breezeline. In places where AT&T’s fiber service is available, it’s definitely the top pick with fast and reliable internet. But if you can’t get AT&T, both Spectrum and Breezeline offer reliable cable service with download speeds up to 1 Gbps—not as fast as fiber, but still faster than most households should really need.

Our top 3 ISP choices in Dublin, OH

The best internet providers in Dublin are AT&T fiber internet, Spectrum internet, and Breezeline internet.

#1: AT&T fiber internet

AT&T fiber internet is a great option if it’s available to you, which it is to a majority of Dublin residents, though not everyone has access to the top 5-gig speeds. Fiber internet generally offers better speed and reliability, and AT&T is one of the best fiber providers on the market, making it our top choice both in Dublin and nationwide.

Read our full AT&T internet review.

#2: Spectrum internet

Spectrum offers wide cable coverage in Dublin with speeds fast enough to meet the needs of even heavy internet users. However, Spectrum isn’t quite as good of a deal compared to AT&T, which is why it’s our second choice. Still, most users should have a smooth experience with Spectrum internet.

Read our full Spectrum internet review.

#3: Breezeline internet

Breezeline is a smaller provider that offers cable internet mostly in the Eastern United States, with coverage for about half of Dubliners. It offers fast internet up to 1 gig, but prices skyrocket (i.e. more than double) after the six-month promotional period is over. We’d recommend Breezeline if you can’t get AT&T or Spectrum, and you need a speedier, more reliable internet connection than you can get with wireless internet types.

All internet providers in Dublin

Besides the wired connections offered by AT&T, Spectrum, and Breezeline, residents of Dublin have access to fixed wireless internet with providers T-Mobile and Verizon. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has the widest coverage by far, and offers reliable internet that would suit the needs of most users. Plus, if you have a qualifying mobile plan through T-Mobile, you can bundle your home internet for a huge discount.

Satellite internet providers HughesNet, Viasat, and Starlink are also available, but we wouldn’t recommend them to anyone in Dublin. Residents have access to faster speeds at better prices, and the latency that comes with all satellite connections makes the experience worse, even if the speed offered is technically faster.

Fastest internet providers in Dublin

AT&T is the fastest provider in Dublin, with fiber speeds that reach up to 5 Gbps (5,000 Mbps) in some areas. Speeds this fast aren’t available everywhere, but where you can’t get these speeds, Spectrum or Breezeline both offer speedy connections up to 1 Gbps.

How much speed do you need?

When choosing an internet plan, you want to keep all of your activities running smoothly without paying extra for speeds you don't need. At the bare minimum, you need 25 Mbps to do light browsing on one or two devices. Most households with multiple people and multiple devices will want to look for speeds in the 100–500 Mbps range. Learn how much speed your household needs in our guide to internet speed.

Cheapest internet providers in Dublin

Fixed wireless providers like T-Mobile 5G Home Internet are likely the cheapest internet option for budget-conscious shoppers in Dublin. Though not as fast or reliable as fiber and cable internet, most users won’t notice a difference in their day-to-day internet use, and prices are significantly lower if you are able to bundle your internet with a qualifying mobile plan.

Qualifying households can also save $30 per month on home broadband service through the Affordable Connectivity Program, which helps low-income households and other demographics (like students) gain internet access. Learn more about how to get free internet.

Internet options in nearby cities

Spectrum and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet have wide availability in the greater Columbus area. While AT&T fiber also has good availability, some areas may not have access. Other providers are available more sporadically, with Frontier, altafiber, Breezeline, and other smaller providers servicing some areas.

What Dublin residents are saying on Reddit

Has anyone actually had reliable Breezeline internet services?

A big question I'm wondering is if this will all go away with time? Like will it all just end eventually if I stick it out during these WoW transition stages?

I only see negative stories. I've been with them for a little over 1 week and have already had random disconnects, lying from reps about my area undergoing maintenance, among a few other issues.

Hell my verizon Mobile Hotspot on my phone was more stable last week (seems their internet is a little better this week).

Spectrum is so tempting but more expensive/low upload speeds.

There just seems like no winning when it comes to ISPs in Cbus.

EDIT: Consensus is that lots of people have also had some good experiences with Breezeline, however most people who have had good experiences are using their own purchased modem/router hardware.

Further research from other threads has brought me to believe there's something up with their hardware, specifically the white square plume devices they are installing with the included "WiFi Your Way" application. I'm going to try and disable lots of security settings in the plume device to see if it helps. But honestly I should probably just buy my own modem and router.

I haven't had any service issues with Breezeline since it took over my Wow! service.

Breezeline took over my WOW account, and now my internet bill increased 60%

I was 10 months into a $24.99 special for 100Mbps internet through Wow. I just got my new bill due late May for Breezeline and they upped it to $39.99.

Watch out.

Most helpful response

I have not received a breeezline bill and they look like they are no longer posting the bills on wowway.

Really wary of this because as far as I know there is no competitor that offers what wow offers.

It would be great if these companies would actually compete instead of just buying each other.

Has anyone tried T-Mobile internet?

Apparently you can get T-Mobile internet in Columbus for $50 a month. Has anyone tried it out? If so- How does it compare?

Most helpful response

My friends just got it. They love it. It is literally at big modem you put by a window. I guess its 5g. He's able to stream live on YouTube, and his partner watch a movie with no buffering. They couldn't do that with spectrum. They're paying 120$ for the internet and cell lines. During the big storms last week, he lost internet for like 15 minutes. You can also take it with you and plug in anywhereish for instant access. Customer service is top shelf.

Best internet provider?

I’m moving to the area and would like hear your thoughts on your internet provider? I play console and PC games.

I also work from home. Spectrum appears to be running a good deal as well. Are they reliable?

AT&T Fiber if you can get it

Reliable internet providers?

I’ve had DSL AT&T (they don’t offer fiber) and I’m at my last straw with them, their customer service on top of the mediocre speeds are just trash really. I’ve heard mixed things about Spectrum and I’ve seen problems since WOW was changed to Breezeline, so what’s my best route here? I work from home so this is pretty urgent thing for me.

It seems to be dependent on the neighborhood you live in as to which provider sucks the least.

Internet news and infrastructure in Dublin, OH

Residents of Dublin generally have access to multiple broadband internet providers, but that doesn’t mean the internet landscape is static. In 2022, Breezeline took over WOW!’s internet infrastructure, and Dubliners are still dealing with the transition. While the general sentiment seems to be that new Breezeline customers aren’t quite satisfied with their new service, things should smooth out over time. Another provider to leave the greater Columbus area, including Dublin, is Starry, which announced its plans to stop service in January of 2023. (1)

The City of Dublin itself has invested quite a bit in its goal to become “the most connected city in the world.” (2) Their city-owned “fiber-optic highway,” Dublink, provides a fiber pathway for local hospitals, schools, and businesses to stay connected. While Dublink is not necessarily its own internet service provider, its infrastructure promises to help public and private businesses access speeds up to 100 Gbps. (3) The city of Dublin also piloted a fiber-to-the-home project in 2021, but it has not yet moved further with any city-wide internet initiatives. (4)

In Dublin, OH, 98% of households can get 100 Mbps, 98% can get 250 Mbps, and 14% can get 1 Gbps.
