Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Texas

Donna M.
Spectrum Fiber
February 10, 2025 We haven't had Spectrum for very long, but we waited a long time for them (or someone) to get to our rural location. The service has been outstanding and the pricing is the same as we were paying for another service, but with much better speed. Overall, we are very happy.
Russell M.
Brightspeed DSL
September 25, 2023 I live in a rural area where the only options are either a legacy DSL, originally from CenturyLink, recently purchased by Brightspeed, or satellite. Satellite is much too expensive and limits the amount of bandwidth that can be used. Our DSL has no cap limit, but only allows up to 5mb down. None of the cell companies offer internet service in our area. Apparently, some time in the next 2 years, Spectrum will offer fiber through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund. They have placed a node box directly across the road from our home, but there is no timetable for when they will actually connect.
