Lakeland Residential Internet Coverage

Just east of Tampa, the city of Lakeland provides residents with a short drive to the coast and the conveniences of suburban living. This includes high-speed internet, which aims to serve both residential and business customers.

Those who want fiber internet can choose Frontier, which covers some Lakeland neighborhoods. Included neighborhoods are Paul A. Diggs, Tigertown, Dixieland, and Cleveland Hills.

Fiber service is also offered by FPL FiberNet. The FPL FiberNet network runs through central neighborhoods like Lake Bonnet, Lake Morton, and Lake Bonny Park. Service is unavailable north of Memorial Boulevard or south of Arlana Street. Many other providers offer cable and DSL.

The Frontier Communications DSL network is one of the largest in this area, reaching all of Lakeland. Megapath shares the same distinction.

Last but certainly not least, another expansive ISP in Lakeland is Brighthouse Networks. This company brings coverage to all of Lakeland.

I highly do not recommend this company. They will promise you all kinds of stuff to switch and you will meet every requirement and they will continually come up with more and more hoops to jump through and then try to get out of the promotional gift card by offering a credit. I don't want a $400 credit I want my gift card I was promised!

The issue is not speed, my service constantly drops out and has for years. I had technicians tell me the whole area has that problem. I’ve had all the wiring changed inside and out along with all the equipment several times over the years. It’s gone out 3 times tonight. Only for a few minutes at a time but it’s very frustrating.
