Summary
WOW! Business took the top spot in The AI Journal's ranking of six Charleston-area business internet providers, ahead of Comcast Business, Spectrum Business, AT&T Business Fiber, Home Telecom and emerging fiber and 5G entrants.
The ranking weighted coverage at 35%, then reliability at 20%, with speed and value at 15% each, using FCC Broadband Map data, address-level coverage data and feedback from Charleston business owners.
Comcast reaches about 94.6% of Charleston County addresses, far more than WOW!'s 55.1%, but WOW! scored on lower pricing, three free months on a three-year term, static IPs, LTE failover and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
AT&T Business Fiber was highlighted for 300 Mbps to 5 Gbps symmetrical service where available, while Spectrum stood out for month-to-month terms despite serving only about 2.7% of county addresses.
The list reflects a broader shift in Charleston's business broadband market, where fiber buildouts, cable promotions and newer 5G and fiber competitors have expanded choice beyond the limited options of a decade ago.
