A Austin, TX Customer
AT&T Fiber
October 23, 2025 It is less expensive than ATT Uverse and also much faster. It was worth spending the time to have the fiber installed.
Alyssa C
T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
June 24, 2025 I use T-mobile for my internet provider, which is the same provider I use for my cell-phone. Pairing my cell phone and internet in the same plan was extremely affordable.
Spencer T.
Spectrum Fiber
September 26, 2023 I've been with Spectrum since I moved into this address and the service has always been maybe 80% whats advertised with speratic drops as well not long enough to make a fuss about but frequent enough to be a nuisance with the choice of providers to my address Spectrum was probably the best option as far as price to preformance if you need or want faster speeds Spectrum is a good option as long as you are willing to deal with the slight issues stated ATT offers 5 gig speeds but this address is just out of coverage and their 1 gig speeds are overpiced as well as the local ATT store being known for actually scamming and stealing I would say Spectrum is the only option for 1 gig+ speeds in my area
